This is troublesome when it comes to writing, because the correct prescription for my contacts and glasses works best on objects a full arm's length away or further. So in order to write on my desktop computer, I have to push my chair back just a bit. Writing on my laptop is trickier, because it sits closer than an arm's length away. Of course I can use readers. But mostly I just make the font size larger and sit by a bright light.
I tried monovision lenses -- one eye's contact just a little reduced in power so reading is easier with that eye. But I grew tired of everything, whether close or far away, being just a little blurry ALL THE TIME. So I'm back to my true prescription in both eyes, and reading/writing is difficult.
Regular me:
I recently bought my first pair of bifocals. Wow, were they expensive. And I have no idea where they are. Somehow I've never lost a single pair of cheap readers, but the spendy bifocals have taken a runner. Still, I'm not missing them much.
A new plan hatched a few weeks ago.
I ordered glasses specifically for mid-distance (e.g. a computer screen), complete with a filter that blocks blue screen light.
So far, I like them.
