I went to the eye doctor this morning with my usual list of complaints, dry gritty eyes, eye strain and a crick in my neck and shoulders from having to crank my chin up in the air to view my computer screen. Cursed progressive lenses. So after my yearly exam and only a slight change, my doctor recommended a couple of options for me. One is “office glasses”. These are separate glasses that are made for wearing while working on the computer. The drawback, you have to change them out with your normal glasses – back and forth, back and forth. But definitely an option.
Then the lovely lady in the optical department suggested PC Peekers. Whaaaaat?? I was skeptical when she pulled out these funny little glasses and told me to pop them inside my glasses. ?? Strangest things ever…. but I did what she said and HOLY COW I could see the paper she was holding at computer height through the TOP of my glasses. I didn’t have to crank my chin up at all! And they only cost $20! I was sold. $20 vs the cost of another whole set of frames and lenses, they were certainly worth a try. I’m wearing them right now! They take a little bit of getting used to, but I just know my neck and shoulders are going to thank me.
If you’re suffering from neck and shoulder hunch from having to view your computer screen through the very bottom of your glasses, I encourage you to give PC Peekers a try. I got mine from Newton Vision Center in Newton, but I think they’re sold in a lot of stores as well as online. Here’s their website: PC Peekers
And here are my awesome little Peeks. 
They are a little odd looking. My eyes are so irritated and tired right now, I’m going to reserve judgment for a couple of weeks, but I’ll be sure and report back!
I’ve no doubt that Kelly will tease me relentlessly about these.
