Bifocals At The Monitor Liberation Day

December 1st is Bifocals At The Monitor Liberation Day — a health/awareness holiday that shows sympathy with people who have to wear bifocals while working in front of screens; raises awareness of the importance of wearing bifocals; encourages people to maintain a proper eye care routine.

Our hearts fill with empathy today for co-workers stuck wearing bifocals at the PC. Shed a tear as their heads bob up and down, in and out, attempting to read the screen, trying to choose which pair of lenses to work with.

Issue Faced By Bifocal Wearers

A lot of men and women who wear bifocals find their bifocals do not work well when they are at their computers.

Why Is This So? Most glasses are intended to optimize distance vision — typically defined as 20 feet away and beyond. Many bifocals and reading glasses are designed to offer focused vision — approximately 14 inches from the eye. A computer screen sits further away than where your bifocal can properly focus but is too near for distance correction.

Best Solution: Wearing bifocal glasses forces a computer user to tilt the head back to focus on the display through the lower portion of the bifocal lenses. This type of forced posture can lead to neck, back, and shoulder pain.

Should you use a computer for extended intervals, you can consider “computer eyeglasses”. These focus on the particular distance where your computer screen sits. As an alternative, you may consider progressive bifocals. These eyeglasses can focus at multiple distances, so you don’t have to move your head up and down to focus on the screen.

Bifocals At The Monitor Liberation Day Objectives

The health of “Bifocals At The Monitor Liberation Day” has been established, keeping in mind the following objectives:

1). A Day To Show Sympathy To Bifocal Wearers. It’s a day when people who do not wear bifocals have sympathy for people who must use them while working with computers–individuals that are constantly trying to figure out which of the 2 lenses to use while looking at the monitor. Wearing bifocals and reading on a monitor may lead to muscle fatigue, as the bifocal wearer has to continuously move the head to align the lenses with the text and read it.

Deteriorating vision may be an early indication of eyesight problems. Getting a monthly vision examination helps physicians to identify issues in their first phases.
