• Any suggestions to combat increasingly problematic eye strain?
    I assume it's due to computer screen work and it doesn't help that I look at my phone a fair bit recreationally. But - I've been doing this for years, and in the spring I was spending much longer hours looking at the screen for work, yet it's only in the last month or so that it's got quite bad.
    I can't really not look at screens for work.
    Is it seasonal?
    I see ads for 'computer glasses' every so often - snake oil?
    I'm probably due an eye test and my glasses could do with a reglaze, but I don't think it's just that.

  • A mate of mine was recently bemoaning the injustice of having to have separate computer glasses, as recommended by his optician; he felt this was something that should be for (in his words) 'properly middle-aged people', rather than someone in their mid-30s. He did have to admit they helped.

  • I have all of the filters on my lenses, which have occupational lenses (like varifocals on steroids). They are not cheap though.

    You might benefit from a proper workstation assessment too.
