Oh snappp! My eyesight has deteriorated so much since college! My job has me sitting behind a computer 40 hours a week too! If I don't have my glasses, I wouldn't be able to play more than 2 tables

I don't need glasses but the days I grind 4+ hours, combined with normal surfing, I get a bad headache.

I'm actually half way through an article on this for PokerVIP.

I went for new glasses and contacts the other week before I came back to Thailand and was told if I didn't change my working habits then I'd have glasses like milk bottles in ten years, and would probably be unable to wear contacts any more.

When we went through my prescription history the pattern was completely normal until 2012 when I started playing Zoom poker, then it started to accelerate rapidly from about -4.50 up to -8.25 today. It's made worse by me being 38 and at an age where I should be getting to the stage where it never gets worse, and it's the opposite.

1500-2000 hands per hour sounded so cool though!

-0.5/-1 and I feel like it's slowly deteriorating. Something like -2 might be more appropriate now and I should probably consult this with my physio. I spend a lot of time behind the computer screen and I don't see that changing in the near future so I guess I have to follow the words of a great sage and "suck it up buttercup".

I thought my eyes were deteriorating becasue of too much study - I was doing around 80hrs a week - but the optician said nope, ya just gittn older buddy.

I don't know what the numbers mean but I do know I can't afford a proper eye test and glasses so use the reading ones you get everywhere nearly.

Not ideal for sure.

looks very "nerdy" but rocks!

I used Gunners for a while but tbh the issue was too big for them to help with. I feel these are good for people with good eyesight and prevents strain. But if you have bad eyesight you will need glasses full stop.

Thats obv right

Yeh just needed to hit the point home for any of you out there still pretending it's just eye strain from the computer . Took me 4 years to own up to this!

I wear contacts. Current prescription is -1.75 in my right eye and -2.25 in my left but last test was 2 years ago and I think they are worse now so need to get an update. Hate wearing glasses, should have been wearing them since I was 10 years old but I hated it so never did so that's probably made them worse now.
