An ergonomist understands the relationship between the human physiology and the work environment.

For example, if you spend extended hours in front of a computer screen, the ergonomist may recommend glasses with specialized lenses to reduce eye strain and digital eye fatigue. These lenses can filter out harmful blue light and minimize glare, providing a more comfortable viewing experience.
