I work in an opticians, and the best advice you can get is to get an eye test and talk to your optom because everyone's 'short sightedness' will be slightly different...

I would wear them, but do the looking away thing they tell you to do. E.g. take some time off the screen and look into the distance and blink.

hey heminder, i asked my doc about what u said that coloured lenses can change your eye colour and he says its non possible :frown:

anyhoo, if you wear your glases in front the computer the weird vision after will prob not occur- im myopic and i find weraing my lens/glssses on the comp stops this

at least every 30-40 minutes.

focus on a distant object for about 4-5 minutes.

well yes but i'd be inclined to say take a walk too especially if you are doing work - helps to keep your brain clear.

I'm delinquent with wearing my glasses. :biggrin: I'm near-sighted too, but I usually use them when I absolutely have to. But I am trying to reform this *bad habit*. :smile:
