I first got glasses as a kid when I was about -1 diopter nearsighted. In the long term it stabilized at about -4.5 and then, of course, with age, the focusing ability went away. Now I wear a weakened prescription for working at the computer that leaves me... about -1 diopter nearsighted. And I'm totally used to keeping those glasses on all the time around the house and (memory is fading!) the office. Sort of come full circle. I do have to switch to normal glasses for driving, of course. But yes, getting dedicated glasses for the distance at which I use a computer screen was a complete game changer. No compromise, just good vision. With mail-order outfits (Zenni in my case) you can experiment... I ordered glasses weakened by -1, -1.25 and -1.5 diopters and just picked my favourites.
