 Re: Do I need this prescription for reading? Okay, thanks. I guess I figured out the solution, I just wanted to know why. -- Message posted via MedKB.com http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vision/200804/1 |

| Re: Do I need this prescription for reading? Thanks for the replies. I can see well with my glasses. It's just that without them, particularly at the PC, the right (worst) eye feels very strained. I'm wearing them as I type this and can see the monitor just fine to around 14" but if I take them off I'd get eye ache within 10-20 minutes. -- Message posted via MedKB.com http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vision/200804/1 |

| Re: Do I need this prescription for reading? Are you getting older? My glasses are -2.5 in both eyes. I can read fine without glasses. I used to be able to use the PC also. As I aged my depth of focus decreased so the monitor which is further away than a book is out of focus. Maybe it is time to look at getting computer glasses.

| Re: Do I need this prescription for reading? Dear Fenella, Did the OD you go to recommend that you wear your -2.25 glasses for all reading?

| Do I need this prescription for reading? I have a new prescription with an increase in only one eye. The glasses I now wear are (L) -2.25 and (R) -2.75 -025 x 145. My previous prescription was just -2.25 in both eyes. I've never worn glasses for reading but in the week or so since I've had these new glasses (and not worn them for long periods of reading or at the PC) I've found that the eye with the stronger prescription feels quite strained. At the PC I probably sit closer than is usual to compensate but the strain is still quite noticeable. I always thought nearsighted people didn't need to wear glasses for reading so is my experience usual? Thanks Fenella -- Message posted via MedKB.com http://www.medkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vision/200804/1 |
