Most of my patients, no matter what age, are part of the digital age. A specific population I want to discuss are those who work on desk top computers who are in their late 40's or older. Many of these individuals wear bifocals. The problem is that they are trying to use the correction given for distance and conventional reading at 16' while viewing the monitor. The problem is you're looking at your monitor that is usually at 24" or more at eye level. Therefore the patient who uses this type of correction has to tilt their head back and lean into the screen.
This type of situations requires a second type of correction where the top part of the bifocal is measured at the distance the patient is viewing their monitor while the bottom part of the bifocal is measure for text viewing at 16". This helps to eliminate neck strain as well as eyestrain. Also there are various antireflective coating you can apply to the lens that helps to reduce glare and eyestrain.
