Glasses vs. contacts for IT?

Corndork2

I wore contacts for 10 years (age 14-24) before switching to glasses with anti-glare and anti-scratch. I love glasses when sitting in front of a screen all day, but also prefer contacts and a good set of safety glasses when in the field

Funny topic.

I wear glasses, but I'm married already. I have a couple coworkers, these guys didn't get married until after they got rid of the eyeglasses! Too funny!

Lol! Interesting connection... though there are women for whom glasses are a turn-on. Look for a female Big Bang Theory fan and chances are she is turned on the geeky look that wearing glasses give.

Not just for gamers, they also have them for people who are in IT and in front of the computer 8+ hours a day.

I am looking for a way to avoid getting my eyes tired quickly while watching at the screen and was wondering if these glasses can alleviate my problem. I can't stare at screens long enough to read as much as I would like to just because of that issue, eyes getting tired pretty quickly.

I have a pair, and I try to use them, but I find that they get annoying after a while. When I'm on my work machine I don't notice such an issue because I have a window next to the monitor that I can look out often (and do) and the screen auto adjusts the brightness for ambient lighting. My gaming rig I notice they help on because of 1) no window and 2) no auto adjustment.
