For some reason this pair of glasses made my eyes very sore in a short amount of time, despite the general very positive reviews here. The lenses seem to have a magnifying effect. As soon as I put them on, I could feel that my eye muscles were forced to work hard and adjusting to the seemingly closer distance of the monitor. Within half of an hour, my eyes endured much more strain than without the glasses and I needed to take them off. I have 20/20 vision and didn't think that the glasses would be incompatible with me.

I bought these more out of curiosity than anything else, figuring if they did help me stay in front of the screen longer with less eye fatigue all the better.

My work is cad design, so I am not bothered as much by contrast as I work with a black background, however many of my colleagues use a white background and I could see how they could benefit even more so by wearing these.
The best I can describe these is they magnify the screen slightly and cut... Read more
