Yep, it may seem odd, but it’s true.  Wearing your prescription glasses, like your ophthalmologist ordered is what you should be doing.   Especially if you do a lot of detail type work.  For instance, working on the computer for hours like many of us do, can really put your eyes through their paces.  It could actually be one of the reasons why you need glasses in the first place.  Just because you use your eye so much. A good pair of eyeglasses can do a lot to alleviate muscle strain and headaches.  For many people, working in front of a computer screen ends up giving them a headache.

I was having more of those problems years ago, before I switched to a LCD screen.  LCD screens are much easier on the eyes, than the old CRT monitors that used to be commonplace with all computers.  It’s the different refresh rate on the LCD screens that makes things easier on your eyes.  Wearing my glasses on a more regular basis helps out quite a bit I think.  While my eyes aren’t that bad, the glasses to help to sharpen up the detail on most things.  Now, if I’m going to get a headache, it seems to happen when I walk away from the computer.  Strange yes, I know, but I haven’t quite figured out the reason for it.
