I finally gave in to reality and got reading glasses for coding. Didn't realize how much I was suffering.

How did you decide which brand to get and at what strength? I wear glasses every day (nearsighted) and have been thinking about getting reading glasses for work but the ones I tried at the grocery store were way too strong.

I somewhat recently upgraded to a larger monitor and have scaled up my fonts but I still feel like I am straining a bit.

Go to an optician/optometrist to get your required strength measured. The brand is likely not too important.

I recommend a sub 1.0 strength. It will let you read a screen comfortably. They’re effectively a consumable for me, so I have pairs scattered throughout my house.

I got a prescription for monitor distance, about 30in or 70cm, and ordered the glasses from Zenni. It makes my computer time much better.
