I would appreciate any feedback regarding the latest trend of spilt/dual DSE screens, whereby one user is accessing two monitors/screens.
The arrangement for dual access presents posture concens and rapid movement of eyes causing strains.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Is it possible to knock this old chestnut on the head?
Eyes DO NOT get strained.

Jim, many thanks for your valuable comment, however it is generally accepted to use the collective term ‘eye strain’ as opposed to listing the various optometric conditions that we commonly associated with DSE usage.
As always any positive feedback regarding the use of dual/spilt screens are welcome

If you check you will find that dual and often multiple screens have been used for some time now in film studios for film editing. I have personally been in such a studio as a visitor where the film editor was working with four screens!
The work involves switching frequently between the different screens as images are manipulated, merged, etc.
The occupational health and safety team in such a studio may be able to shed some light on any problems.

You raise an important issue. At the same time, it is open to a host of interpretations that depend on the level of understanding you have of ergonomics,biomechanics, anatomy and physiology.
So that any 'feedback' addresses specifically what you need to decide, would you mind setting out what it is you are trying to do.

2 screens! What luxury!
I'd much rather have that than suffer the angst of minimising,clicking and dragging multiple applications over the one display?
Eyestrain (sorry folks) and posture issues could equally be due to issues with software and/or task design and character resolution.
The need for "rapid eye movement" should be eliminated by redesigning the task?
I reserve REM for ocassions when my eyes are closed.
Multiple screens - I'm jealous!

There appears to be no prescriptive guidelines, so you have to be adaptive. The critical factors are the balance between the advantages of using split/dual screens and the ergonomic disadvantages.
We have piloted and then implemented dual screens for specific users on our site, but there must be proper workstation layout and siting of the screens that reduces ergonomic/visual problems. Dual screen assessment is not too much different from a DSE assessment in which a user intensively uses a document holder! Then you would locate the document holder adjacent to the screen.
