Prescription for near work

ciaobellaciao1 · 2009-06-28 11:10:10

Out of interest, how many of you myopes on here wear a weaker rx for near work (reading/computer use)? My rx is about -2 and also -2 for astigmatism. I have been wearing a weaker rx (-1 in each eye) for near work and found this has reduced eyestrain significantly.

I do too,
My contact lenses are a lot less strong then my glasses so I can manage to read menus and stuff.
There is around a -2.5 difference.
Luckily I only wear them the odd time for going out;)
I tend to look over my glasses to read,I found it annoying having the 2 pairs.
