Godnig and Hacunda have written a short book describing the causes of visual stress and some possible remedies. The authors define visual stress as the “inability of a person to visually process light information in a comfortable, efficient manner.”

The book is aimed at workers and managers who are associated with visual display devices. Little computer knowledge is needed to understand this book. The authors suggest ways of avoiding visual stress at the workplace and give some visual training exercises that can be used to help combat visual stress. This whole area is relatively new and somewhat controversial. The authors avoid the legal issues associated with visual stress and emphasize techniques that can be used for relieving it. The entire book can be read in about an hour and contains some interesting suggestions for enhancing visual comfort while using computer terminals.
