PC Peekers

[Mary]

For those of us wearing bi/tri focal glasses viewing the computer monitor without tipping our head can make for a very painful neck. I have been reading about "PC Peekers" that slip inside your glasses to make viewing easier. Anyone tried them or know anything about them? :shock:

I am one of those old types with bifocals. Luckily, both eyes are similarly degenerated so when I bought my glasses I checked the scrip to find out the diopter I required. The local drugstore carries very cheap glasses in my particular size 1.75. The only disadvantage is if I have to get a coffee, and forget to take them off, I ricochet off of door jams.

Oh Grant, that is just too funny.

I have tri-focals but discovered they were bothering my eyes when I tried to drive at night. I also have one hell of a time keeping them spotless enough to not distort my vision. Anyway, thought I would try strengthening my eye muscles by not wearing them when I wasn't reading or needing them for other close work so I too bought a cheap pair of readers at Walmart. They are great for computer work and reading. I bought the ones that are about an inch wide so I can see over the tops but I hear you about bouncing around the room if I fail to take them off.

Mary, I am about to purchase my first pair of PC Peekers thru Walmart.com online ordering as they are only $17.88 there, my optomitrist office wants 28.95 and the official web site wants 34.98, As again Walmart RULES ! I tried them on in the office when I got my eyes checked last week and they work great, can't wait till I get my own pair. keeper3102 from Louisiana

I wear graduated glasses and have my adjustable chair up a lot higher than non-glass wearers so I can look down on my screen. This does away with the "looking up" and getting a crick in the neck.

I can't use the cheap glasses because my eyes need a different script!
