Can I use reading glasses for computer?

While reading glasses can be helpful for close-up tasks such as reading or writing, they may not be the best option for computer use. This is because the distance between your eyes and the computer screen is typically greater than the distance between your eyes and a book or newspaper.

If you are experiencing eye strain or other discomforts when using the computer, it's best to consult with an eye doctor. They may recommend computer glasses, which are specifically designed to reduce eye strain and other problems associated with prolonged computer use.

Computer glasses have lenses that are designed to optimize your vision at the distance between your eyes and the computer screen, as well as reduce glare and filter out harmful blue light emitted by electronic devices.

So, while reading glasses may be suitable for short periods of computer use, they may not be the best option for prolonged computer use. It's always best to consult with an eye doctor to determine the most appropriate type of corrective lenses for your individual needs.
