Computer eye strain: Eye strain from computers is increasingly more common in people age 40 and older. You may need glasses made specifically for computer use. Regular bifocals give you good vision at distance and near, but the computer is usually beyond the near range. Other than eye strain, the computer should not harm your vision.
