are they worth a damn? considering a pair since a blood vessel burst in my eye from strain.. look like a pothead. joy.

try leaning back in a relaxing upright position? and not hunched over your keyboard.
dont know about the glasses, had a friend that got some for the computer, seemed kind of stupid to me, but if your eyes are exploding then maybe it's worth some glasses to save them!
ask your eye doctor?

My eye site is getting horrible, I used to be 30/20 but now I'm like 15/20. It's either the computer or the wanking

do you mean you used to be 15/20? the lower the number, the better. i'm pretty sure?

I saw an optomotrist about this once - ended up getting some glasses. The optomotrist should test your eyes to find your eyes resting distance. I was told that for them to help your eyes, you need to wear them more often than not - otherwise there's no point. So if you're only going to wear them every few days for an hour - then don't bother.
I stopped wearing mine and pushed my monitor a few inches further away - that has made a big difference. Basically the best thing is resting your eyes - look as far in the distance as you can every 30mins for 5 mins.

nearly every lunch time I get self concious because when I leave the screen andf go to buy some lunch my eyes are all watery - I must look like I'm wasted haha
thing is, I have this big chunky LaCie and my desk is against a wall so I cant push it back any further...

30/20 means you can see at 30 feet what a regular person can see at 20, no?

I have them, use them mostly with the laptop because I am closer to the screen.
If you have a nice desk read up on ergonomics (sp) and set yourself up to remain healthy.

go to flat panels. the ease of strain is worth the excess cost.

thanks for the advice.. I've got 20/20, but I should definitely do something about the strain.. maybe its the wanking, hehe.. I guess I'd wear glasses quite a bit while working on the computer, but who knows how long it would be before the laziness set in. maybe I'll try out an lcd, hopefully they've improved in color/contrast over the past couple years.. loved the Mac flat panels but most pc lcd's I've worked with were either configured horrible or had a bad contrast ratio in general.
