Abstract: A computer monitor viewing device is provided which locates a monitor image at a comfortable viewing location and which is desirably suitable for use by most computer users and, in particular, by bifocal users. The device includes a first mirror positioned to reflect an image from a computer monitor screen and a second mirror which is positioned to reflect the image reflected by the first mirror toward the eyes of a viewer. Supports are also provided for positioning the first and second mirrors. Desirably, where the device is used in connection with a keyboard, the second mirror is positioned closer to the keyboard than the computer monitor screen, thereby allowing users, including bifocal wearers, to comfortably view the screen and the keyboard simultaneously. The device may also incorporate means to shield the user from radiation from the computer monitor.
