Glasses = computers

Sorry but that's just my opinion,

I'm in my fortys and don't wear glasses, my son is 20 and wears glasses, he lives on his computer, my daughter is 17 and wears glasses occasionally she uses a notepad for school.

My wife recently got me an iPad, less than a year ago, and now I'm n the verge of needing glasses, things are no longer high definition, but soft around the edges

So I re-interate computers = glasses.

It seems to be more complicated than this Steve. I'm in the end-fourties and I have passed one half of all those years every single working day, many weekends and part of my vacations in front of a computer screen. I have never been cheap on computer screens though, and good environment lighting is just about that important as when working on the bench or reading a book.

Must admit I only realized I needed glasses once I'd gotten my iPad, it just made what was already happening (but I was putting down to something else), more obvious to me. I can manage 98% of guitar work sans glasses but those fiddly purfling joins and inlays are just a bridge too far for the old pork pies. :oops:

And as Martin stated, never a dumb question, your discovery and subsequent posting of such, is a reminder to the rest of us that this is something to watch out for!

Got my first set of glasses when I was 16. No computers in those days. People blamed the TV. Now as a near geriatric I have to take my glasses off to do any close work and magnifying glasses to do purfling and binding work. It's a funny old life ..... But it beats the alternative

Now I'm officially an old fart , but I've been wearing glasses for the last ten years or so. I've become pretty much addicted to my loupe type magnifiers as well.
It seems once you can see such close up detail of your work there's no going back.
