| Years ago, when I started using progressive bifocals, it was clear that 
they were not good for some activities, including using computers. I 
just asked my optometrist for 3 prescriptions: reading, computer 
screens, and distance. (The distance glasses are for night driving.) 
Since I'm very nearsighted, I have to use prescription glasses. 
Originally, the computer glasses were focused at 22 inches, but as 
screen resolution has improved, I moved closer, about 16 inches. Any 
optometrist who has recently tested your vision can write a prescription 
for any distance you choose. You can get single-distance glasses very 
cheaply from the discount opticians, if you're not too fussy about the 
frames.

glasses. She gave me a prescription that was especially for computer use.
They focus at the distance from my eyes to a computer screen.
