Is it really necessary for me to wear glasses if I'm working on a computer for 8 hours a day, given my age of 46? I just had my eyes tested and my near vision is 1.25, but my long vision is normal. They said I should start wearing glasses to avoid affecting my eyesight. I'm already using a blue light filter on my laptop and trying some home remedies like splashing water on my eyes in the morning and ensuring my workspace has good ventilation with sunlight and fresh air. I'm hoping to avoid glassesare there any alternatives I should consider?
