    I have prescription reactolite glasses with anti-glare. These cut down an awful lot on eyestrain. They are available at an Opticians and are especially graded to be worn at arm’s length away from the computer screen. They are a bit costly, but I reckon they are worth it.

    There is a specially made screen that fits over the monitor to reduce glare and such. If you do not wear glasses now, then don’t start, although continued vdu use will affect your eyesight eventually.

    It is considered wise to look away from the vdu (visual display unit) every 5 minutes to stretch the visual field out, and also get up and walk away every half hour or so.

    Of course we know that in reality we get glued to the computer for hours before we even realise it.

    To protect your eyes from what ?

    There are no rays of any kind emitted from a monitor, and unless you are wearing glasses, there is no glare.

    Glare doesn’t come from the screen, glare is what happens on your glasses lenses if they don’t have an anti reflection coating. Glare is just the reflected light from the screen on the lenses…but if you don’t have glasses on, there is no glare.

    So, if you don’t have to wear glasses, then there are no such thing as protective glasses needed for the computer.

    Frequent breaks and keeping the monitor a good 30 inches away is all the protection you need from getting eyestrain.

    What do you want protection from? There is nothing from a computer that can damage your eyes.
