Not sure if it technically qualifies, but if your vision is fairly bad, get a pair of "computer glasses" made. These are designed to focus perfectly at the distance of your monitor. It's like getting a vision upgrade.

My eyes went to crap when I passed 40, and I had a hard time getting a prescription I was really comfortable with. I wound up using "eyejusters" adjustable-strength reading glasses. https://www.eyejusters.com (Not associated with the company, just a satisfied customer.)

There's a small knob by each lens which allows adjustment.

That way I can adjust them for reading a book up close, or adjust them for reading a whiteboard farther away, as needed.

Me, too, and I did indeed look at these and similar items. (And probably will get a pair, just for the sheer nerd value.)

Would still strongly recommend the fixed-focus computer glasses, however. They only do one thing, but they do it extremely well.
