  As the matter of fact, computer glasses allow the wearer to easily focus on the distance of the computer screen. Regular reading glasses are only for near vision. Bifocals prescribed for those over age 40 with presbyopia correct only near and far. So computer glasses is specially made for a moderate distance . you prescription is need for them to calculate what strength you need for computer glasses . so you may need an eye exam . the price of computer glasses vary a lot , you can get them less than $50 .

  I want to ask a question. Regarding buying Computer Glasses on Firmoo, does the computer glasses include anti-glare with them if I don't add anything other customization since that's what computer glasses do. I'm -4 but the customer support told me to put the prescription at -3.5 since I'm only using it for the computer.

  If you have some vision problems, you'd better have an eye exam first. Then you can take your prescription to an optician shop to order a pair of computer glasses. The price may vary from place to place. Usually they will cost about $200.

  If you have perfect vision, then you don't need to have an eye exam. You can tell an optician that you want to buy a pair of computer glasses then he or she may make a pair computer glasses for you. My computer glasses cost me $98. I bought them from an online optical store. The glasses sold online are much cheaper than the same glasses sold in any optical shops. You can have a look first. Hope this helped!

  Computer glasses can help block computer reflections and filter glare. They can help protect our eyes. I don't have perfect vision. So I need to have an eye exam first. As to you, I suggest you to consult an optician first. Good luck!
