They make "computer glasses" that are supposed to help reduce eye strain associated with computer use. I don't personally use them so I can't say if they work,

  Computer glasses work great for me. I'm mildly myopic, but at 58 found I could no longer focus on desktop screens ~2 feet away. So I got computer eyeglasses (my normal prescription divided in half). They've made a huge difference. Everything's clear again. However my more myopic sister could never make hers work, so YMMV. I'm generally OK with spec swapping, but I'm tempted to replace my primary glasses with bifocal/trifocal/progressives which in theory should end the swapping. I'm just not so sure I'd like tilting my head in order to change focus. :-/

    I'm not sure computer glasses and the glasses you got are the same. IIRC, computer glasses have a yellowish-amber tint to them, and possibly some coatings. Like you, I got single vision glasses for computer use, but they don't have the tinting/coatings that computer glasses do. I run a pair of 4K 27" monitors at 100% scaling (people who see my setup think I'm crazy), but I had my optometrist get me set up for a reading distance of 21" to 27" -- the closest and furthest points of my monitors -- for my glasses. My single vision prescription includes distance + adjustment for presbyopia, so it's great.
