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.
Thrustvector-
Often these are just like reading glasses - so near distance - but set to slightly further away than books. I don't think that's my issue. Will be in a few years no doubt, but at the moment I'm still your bog-standard myopic and wear specs to suit. I will try and get an eye test soon tho in case it's changed recently.

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.
