I'm scoping out new glasses via the regular online vendors (I have the prescription in hand). One of the vendors offers to create a pair of glasses optimized for reading and "heavy computer use".<p>Has anyone ever tried glasses optimzed for "heavy computer use" and if so, did it make any sort of difference?<p>PS - I'm nearsighted, not farsighted.
Unless things have drastically changed in the 2 years since I got my glasses, it's just going to be a special UV coating.<p>I used to get a lot of headaches from eye strain (I assumed). Since I started wearing these glasses while programming, they have happened much more infrequently.
I have a pair that's adjusted for focus under about 1 meter. It's similar to bifocals but with separate glasses for each focal distance.<p>I used to have the continuous transition lenses, but my neck got tired from keeping the same angle all the time.
