This is one of the main reasons that I work from home / remote entirely. The worst office configuration I ever saw was a San Francisco open plan environment in a loft style office where all the engineering desks had their back to a floor to ceiling window shining bright sun on every engineer's screen for roughly 1/2 the day. I don't think that company (Kleiner funded) was ever profitable. Every single engineer had eye strain as well the normal noise distractions.
