Re: [Avid-L2] Computer eyeware?

Me too. My current glasses have a rather low correction factor so I can still focus on things in the distance (for when I'm out reporting and need to write/type/operate equipment enough that I don't go sans lunettes). I got the antiglare coating my optometrist recommended; seems to help compared to the cheap reading glasses I've tried that don't have the coating.

Long days in front of the computer are still a drag. But the glasses + periodic breaks looking off into the distance mean my eyes aren't as tired...

I discovered that my computer monitors were not so close that they needed regular reading glasses, but were too close that my otherwise (surgically perfected) 20 – 20 vision could adjust to them.
