   FFS I think I might have to get a 3rd set of glasses solely for monitor distance. I've had glasses for distance for 30 years, and reading glasses for the last year, but monitor distance was always OK. Now it's starting to be a bit ropey and I've been getting some mid-back pain despite my Hag Capisco and I think it's because I've been subconsiously slumping to get closer to the monitor. 😩

     @sinbad I've had three different prescriptions since 2016:

     - Far Distance (outdoors)
     - Med Distance (indoors + monitor + VR usage)
     - Reading (phone + books)

     Every 2 years or so I have to adjust these.

     @RogDolos I've been trying to avoid it but I think I'll have to go that way. I did try variable focus glasses but hated the reduction in peripheral vision so I'll just end up juggling 3 by the looks

     @sinbad Yeah I really dislike bifocals or progressive lenses, they just lend to a different kind of eye-strain doing micro-adjustments.

     @GeekAndDad good idea on taking preferred distance measurements

     @sinbad Computer glasses are so worth it. Neck pain reduction and ability to have your monitors at the distance you prefer for posture etc.

     I had to measure the actual distance from my eyes to the monitor and take that in to the eye doc to get the prescription right. If you just ask for mid-distance they may not do it at the distance you prefer. (I’m also having depth of field reduction being an element of the challenge).
