I saw a specialist for eye strain as a result of using a computer 10 hours a day at work and then another 4 at home. He had a unique recommendation that worked well for me. He had me take a ruler (regular 12″ wooden one) and tape pennies to it with about a 1/4 inch gap between then. He said to spend 10 minutes a day looking at the pennies and then focus at a distance looking between the pennies as I moved the ruler back and forth in front of my face about a foot away from my eyes, then look at the next penny then focus at a distance. This excercises your eyes and forces them to focus near, then far, then near, then far. It is supposed to aid in keeping some of the elasticity to the eye that you loose as you age past 30 years old. Not sure if it really works but it appears to have helped me. Try it, just do it in private or people will think you’re really wierd.

My right eye has normal vision and my left eye has moderate astigmatism. My left eye had between 20/50 and 20/60 visual acuity last time I was checked. I also have strabismus and was patched as a child. Patching can be successful until a person is about 8 years old. It would not do much good for you at this point. The vision in my left eye has been weaker than my right since I was a child.

It is really your choice if you want to wear eyeglasses or not. I was prescribed eyeglasses as a teen and did not start wearing them regularly until I was in my 30s when I started getting headaches while driving and during other activities that require good distance vision.

I usually wear eyeglasses when needed for activities such as driving and watching TV. I suggest that you get the eyeglasses and wear them when you need to.
