It may do you a world of good to see an optometrist and get a pair of single vision (not progressive) prescription lenses adjusted so you see clearly at the distance to your computer screen. If you use a laptop, bring it with you. If you use a desktop with external monitor, measure the distance from your eyes to the screen. But if you are currently doing something like getting up close to the display and squinting so you can see it better, don't do that. Instead, pick a distance that would be comfortable if you could see clearly at that distance. For typical laptop use, this is probably around 20". Maybe a couple of inches farther for a desktop monitor, but measure to be sure. If you use both, maybe stick with the laptop distance since you can position your desktop monitor at the same distance. Don't ask for a "reading" prescription: that is typically around 16", much too close for most computer use. Once you know the distance, your optometrist can make a prescription adjusted perfectly for that distance, and you can try out the prescription on the spot with their collection of test lenses. I avoided doing this for years. I thought I just wasn't the kind of person who needed glasses. Turned out I was, and it was such a relief for my eyes when I could see my screen with no strain.
