I don't know about the parent poster above, but my vision is slowly but consistently getting worse every year, for the last five years now. I get my glasses "re-done" each year because my prescription has changed (gotten slightly stronger) each year, and it's cheaper to get new glasses than to re-lens old ones.
If I didn't stare at a screen for 60 hours a week, minor prescription changes might not matter so much. But since I do, wearing a prescription that's only slightly off can still cause some headaches or eye pain.

Now, for fine detail work, i look like the guy from Toy Story 2 with magnifiers up to +4. SMTs are tiny ! Normal computer work, still +1s. I do need a lot more light though.
