Don't bother -- get two pairs of glasses: readers and computer. That's 
what I concluded and it works well.  Reading glasses are focused closer 
than monitor glasses.


Same recommendation here - works well if done correctly - your eye doctor 
can take an existing prescription and give you one for computer glasses.

Are you sure you don't have that reversed? I use 1.75 or 2.0 for reading, but a 
1.50 for the more distant computer screen.


yes, i'm sure, but my wording was a little opaque; i put quotes around 
"readers" because i use 1.25 for middle distances to infinity -- not for 
reading -- and 1.50 seem good for for computer displays, phone screens 
or books; i just checked and i'm 29 inches from my displays, and i tend 
to hold my phone at about 19 inches

if your prescription seems compatible with reading glasses, but you have 
difficulty with off-the-shelf readers you may need to better match your 
pupil distance; i haven't needed to, but i got the idea from here:




personally my favorite readers have come from icu, both retail and 
online (icueyewear.com)

I've been trying to do this myself with cheap readers with mixed success. I 
guess I may need a pro.

Yes, in the following sense.  My optometrist asks me what my intended 
use for the glasses is, I say "computer monitor", he gets me to sit in 
front of an LCD monitor as I would normally, measures distances and 
adjusts the prescription accordingly. Voila! "monitor glasses".

I did have to change optometrists when the crusty old guy couldn't 
understand my request. The new guy said, of course! Knew exactly what I 
was complaining about.
