Every optometrist I've spoken to recommends using reading glasses (usually around +1) when using computers or when reading, even with properly corrected contact lenses.
Personally I use multifocal contacts (the concentric kind), which help a lot with near vision, but I still use reading glasses.
- randcraw 9y agoI've successfully used computer glasses (CG) for a couple years now (age 60, nearsighted, for a monitor 2 feet away). Before that I tried reading glasses, but found their focal length to be impossibly too close for computing (no more than 12 inches). My opthmologist came up with my CG prescription by dividing my distance prescription in half. It works well from 18 inches out to 3 feet, or so.
