Abstract:
A vision saver for use with a computer monitor relieves eye strain, reduces focusing problems, minimizes eye convergence, reduces the number of eye and head movements by an operator using a computer keyboard with the computer monitor, and reduces glare. The vision saver comprises first and second reflecting surfaces and a supporting structure for supporting the reflecting surfaces in spaced relation in front of the computer monitor such that the first reflecting surface faces the screen of the monitor and the second reflecting surface, and the second reflecting surface faces the first reflecting surface and outwardly from the screen of the monitor whereby a person can visually observe the screen of the computer monitor by viewing the second reflecting surface which can advantageously be positioned closer to the computer keyboard than the screen of the monitor. The first reflecting surface is preferably made concave for magnifying the image on the screen and worm gear drives can be provided for fine tuning of the positions of the reflecting surfaces with respect to the supporting structure for accommodation of different size monitors and ease of use and focusing the image closer or farther away.
