health:screen-brightness
This is an old revision of the document!
The goal is to let in as little light into your eyes as possible, to see the detail you need to see. So while working at your monitor, light comes in through both ambient and monitor sources. If monitor is low, and ambient light relatively high, ambient light will burn your peripheral nerves, as eyes dilate to see the monitor. The best situation is a low ambient light and a matching low screen brightness, the dimmest that will allow you to see the details.
As a 45 year old, I can see detail on screens at a lower brightness than most twenty-somethings that have full brightness set on their screens. They have prematurely burned out their eyes, as if they had stared at the sun too long.
