as far as the 'computer glasses' I ordered for myself...I followed Chuck's advice...I don't need glasses for reading, just for distance, so I wear single vision glasses..however, I work on two 30" Apple Cinema HD Displays, wall mounted 2.5-3 feet in front of me..I noticed over the last year it was starting to look a bit fuzzy, or at least I couldn't focus on them quite as well..
so I followed Chuck's advice and went to Wally world and picked out a pair of reading glasses in the lightest correction, put them on over my regular glasses and tested it, then I did the next correction increse..I found that +.75 was perfect for that distance, for me..I added that to my regular prescription, ordered a pair from Zenni to give it a try and for $8, I have a rather grand solution...the displays are spot on in focus and I'm quite happy.. I ordered just simple glasses for this http://www.zennioptical.com/cart/product.php?productid=386&cat=20&page=1 and I see no need to improve on that or have multiple styles, I didn't get AR coating because the glasses I have without it, work fine for me...I guess I don't seem to notice or be bothered with reflections, like some folks indeed are.. ...it works perfectly for the way I work...so thanks Chuck, I appreciate all your knowlege that you share here... if I did need glasses for reading and for working at that distance, I guess I would get bifocals with the near prescription and the mid distance prescription...
