Since I'm legally blind without glasses or contacts, yup I need glasses for the computer. But when I hit about 42, I ended up with progressive lenses, they have a section for reading, then a mid range built for computers, plus they have anti-glare to cut down on problems with glare from the screen. I rarely get headaches from reading anymore. They REALLY help with the computer. Of course, it helps I have dual monitors too with 2560x1024 resolution too.

Tommy, you might be developing an astigmatism, which I've heard people that look at a computer alot are more prone to get. I know mine has gotten worse over the years. Check this out:

If you have astigmatism, some of the lines will look distorted, darker, or lighter when they should all look even. Good quick test to see if that is what is happening.

I'd LOVE to get lasix, but I have an eye condition on my right eye that causes my vision to be unstable, so I'm not eligable.
