I wrote about this several years ago but will contribute again a life hack that has helped me. It comes to mind again as I have just had to have a new pair of glasses made again because they did not follow my prescription. Many of us spend many hours looking at computer displays, in my case over 50 years. For over 40 years I have needed trifocal lenses.
After a couple rounds of the 'normal' type trifocal lenses I noticed that the trifocal portion of my lenses was narrow and caused me to constantly tilt my head so I asked my eye doctor if the trifocal portion could be made larger. We tried this and it has worked well for me. I measured my lenses and the trifocal portion is at 10 mm which is a couple mm more than usual. At first the change did cause some adjustment of what I expected, mostly when walking, but it has been a good improvement to my computer usage.
Now another issue I have faced for several years is that I tend to see a double image of text on the display and when watching TV with closed captions, road signs when driving, etc. Letters all have ghost images offset just a bit. I believe this is one symptom of what is called 'dry eye'. There are several solutions for this, but the best I have found is an eyedrop called Thera Tears. I keep this at my desk and beside my recliner and it helps lots to clear things up for me.
