Do Computer Glasses Really Work? My Experience and Tips Do Computer Glasses Really Work? My Experience and Tips I spend hours staring at screens every day, whether it's for work, connecting with friends, or just unwinding with a good movie. Lately, I'd been noticing my eyes felt tired and strained, especially after long work sessions. I started wondering if computer glasses were the real deal or just another marketing ploy. So, I decided to do some digging and try a few things out myself. My Battle with Eye Strain For years, I've been glued to my computer. Back in high school, it was for games and chatting. Later, I worked in the BPO industry and then transitioned to freelance IT and Marketing. Since 2012, most of my work has been freelance, and before that, I spent years in the BPO industry, starting in 2005.

My Quest for Affordable Sunglasses: Style on a Budget My Quest for Affordable Sunglasses: Style on a Budget I've always loved sunglasses. They're not just a way to protect my eyes; they're a fashion statement. But let's be honest, I’m also someone who misplaces things frequently. Spending a fortune on designer shades just isn’t practical for me. So, I’ve spent years on a quest to find stylish and affordable sunglasses that won’t break the bank (or my heart when I inevitably lose them). The Struggle is Real: Finding the Perfect Fit My biggest challenge has always been finding sunglasses that fit my face. I have a smaller face, and most adult sunglasses are just too big. I tried everything. I even considered getting a pair of kids' sunglasses. They sometimes fit perfectly, but the styles weren't always what I was looking for. I remember one time, I was desperate and grabbed a pair for under a dollar. They did the...

It was frustrating! I started paying closer atte...
