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. There were times when I was at the screen for two to three days straight, with very little sleep. It definitely to...

My Honest Review and Alternatives Like many people, I'm always looking for ways to simplify my life and make chores easier.

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...
