Get an exact measurement of the distance your computer screens are away from your eyes when contesting.  Take this measurement to your eye doctor and he can write a prescription for a pair of glasses.  Don't guess at the distance.  There are places that grind lenses on site and it only takes about an hour.  The grinding is all done by a computer controlled system.  Pick out a cheap frame and you should be happy with the result.

We are all getting old and an eye exam would be a good idea even if you do not need glasses.

The other alternative if to increase the text size on the screen by holding down the CTRL key and move the mouse wheel.  Or mount the monitor on a moveable arm and bring it closer when contesting.
