Oops, sorry, I've only now remembered to answer this...if you do a search you will find lots of info about 'computer glasses' and hyperbole about 'Computer Vision Syndrome'. In many ways I think optometrists have found another 'niche' to sell glasses to :lol: All I know is that my +1.0 non-prescription 'computer glasses', similar to these ones with a very light sepia tint do make a difference if I have to read a lot on the screen.

I'm so grateful that so far I don't need expensive prescription glasses!

STILL WAITING!! FramesDirect.com told me that it would be less than 2 weeks... They've had my order for 3 weeks now, and when I called yesterday to check the status of my order they told me "Maybe next week....."

I am SO tired of wearing sunglasses at night!!

Wow, that's a long time to wait. I have never really had that problem, I once needed glasses in less then two weeks, they said it would take two weeks minimum and 9 days later they had them ready. I guess I was really lucky.


As for Myopia, that sounds like what I probably have, because the reason I got glasses is because I read to many books- my near vision got better steadily as my far vision got worse, eventually I became near-sighted.
