An expected side-effect, considering that certain parts of my eyes were getting light on them that had never done so before.<br /><br />I was driving into work at 4am wearing polarized sunglasses because green lights burned my eyes. I could hardly stand to look at my computer screen.<br /><br />Someone mentioned F.lux, and I put it on my work computer and OH EM GEE, that was so nice. I could actually stand to look at my screen again.Tirnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545609711956034630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-32775798967856393242014-08-18T08:53:59.296-05:002014-08-18T08:53:59.296-05:00I write on a laptop and have carpel tunnel, so I&#...I write on a laptop and have carpel tunnel, so I'm thinking about (as finances permit) getting a second keyboard and mouse/track ball to use, so I can keep the screen higher.

This leaves a fairly small area of my progressive bifocals that's the right prescription for the monitor...usually the spot with a smudge on it. Single vision glasses are so cheap online that it is worthwhile to experiment. Last time I ordered glasses, I spent an extra $15 on 2 different single vision prescriptions. The half strength one is much better for computer work than my progressive bifocals, and I chose a fairly short style and adjusted it to sit high so I can peek under the frame if I want to read something closer.Sevesteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167315201563562644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-86475688492215538972014-08-17T21:13:23.527-05:002014-08-17T21:13:23.527-05:00I have been using F.lux for a few weeks and really...I have been using F.lux for a few weeks and really like it.
