Wearing eye glasses

No, but I've worn glasses for over 20 years.

I had always wanted glasses because I thought that they made people look so intelligent up until I really started to need them! Three years ago I started working full time on a computer screen and needed to get reading glasses.  I have been told that they make me look debonair but I hate relying on them.  I usually don't need them until I have worked 4 sixteen hour shifts in front of a computer screen.  Even then I don't need them when I am driving or watching television.  My vision comes back one hundred percent after I have escaped a computer for three days!  I have just had four days off and practically see through concrete walls!

I have been wearing glasses since I was a kid,  long before computers became so everyday.

I've been wearing glasses for the past two years.  I wish I didn't need them as they are a nuisance.  Seems like the lenses always needs cleaning.  But I need them for all my reading.

I have been wearing glasses since I was 4. I hate them in the summer. The nose piece always rubs up against my skin. It hurts. I like contacts too but they always fall out. They just don't stay in.

I've had to wear glasses before I started work, but I do get eye fatigue every once in a while if I'm on the computer for long periods of time. Usually this is due to either bright colors and / or reading small print. There are a few things that I've learned to help reduce this, however...

• Try to break up your day. Even if you can't take an official break, just take a minute or two to look away from the computer screen. The best is to look at something in the distance.
• Turn down the resolution and DPI on your screen so that all of the images and print are larger.
• Turn down the brightness and contrast on your screen.
• If possible, change the colors on the screen or the Window that you are working on such that it uses darker colors. For example, I use a special text editor (TextPad) for my programming, and I'm able to change the colors so that it looks like the old "green screens" (black background with green text).

I wear them to see things further away.

I've worn glasses since I was little, but I've never had to get anything special to wear at my computer.

No not yet ... eye glasses will probably be a thing of the past 20 years from now when the eye laser surgery gets cheaper and they is a much larger samlple size and smaller chance of "bad" surgery

Yes, unfortunately, but I think it's due to old age.

I don't have computer glasses. I have wear contact lenses/glasses since junior high and it has been 20+ years, recently I do start to feel my vision is getting worse!!

I've worn glasses or contacts since I was a child. I like to take them off when working with the computer tho' and need them mainly for seeing things far away.

I didn't realize there were special glasses for computers?  I do a lot more time on the computer, compared to when I was younger.

I had to get glasses but my eyes seem to be getting worse with the glasses so I stopped wearing them.
