> one for distance, one computer-specific How do you find the correction for the computer specific glass? I have a pair for distance but it is a horror to use

  Life-changing. I should have gotten them decades ago. I had no idea how much I was straining my eyes trying to use distance glasses for the computer, until I finally got them. I sat at my desk and measured the exact distance to the monitor, then asked my optometrist to give me glasses with a focal length of that +/- about eight inches. For me, it's roughly arms' length, about three feet. Many optometrists try to sell me on progressives or some other half-solution, but using large 30" monitors, or sometimes multiple 24" monitors, I need a wide field of view. Having specific glasses is perfect. It's a minor inconvenience having to switch back and forth, but I'll just leave them on my desk and swap when I sit down. I bet my distance vision would be a lot better now if I hadn't spent 25 years straining to see a monitor with the wrong glasses.

    Exactly this!! I have an extra wide computer screen for work, it is a gamers screen. So when they tried to sell me progressive, I refused. I want 2 good solutions, not 1 half assed one. Next time I see an optometrist, I will have to ask them with my precise focal length. They have the details of my correction, so they should be able to figure it out. Can I bother you more? What is your take on undercorrection? I am wondering if I should go for that for my future computer glasses, or my regular glasses.

      It works if combined with "active focus". There are references aplenty in the Endmyopia web forum, FB group and YT videos.
