[dba-Tech] Wide Screen

I have a similar thing with the fluorescent lights at work, but I've solved
it by buying a desk lamp with a "daylight" blub in it... it's a normal
looking bulb except it has a blue tint, which gives off a much cleaner
whiter light than normal bulbs, and isn't anywhere enar as harsh as a
fluorescent tube. Much nicer to work with.

Mistakes can be a good thing. :)

I need them not for the corrective powers, but because flourescent 
lights and monitors in conjunction with each other plays havoc with 
my eyes. If I don't wear them while using a computer under 
flourescent lighting I get massive headaches.

I can work under flourescents all day just fine without my glasses, 
as long as I don't use a computer. I can use my computer at home all 
day long with out my glasses just fine, because we only have 
incandescent bulbs in our lights.

Even when I am commuting and using the laptop, I need my glasses. The 
commuter train I take uses flourescent light for its lighting and I 
notice it after a while if I don't use them.

It took 2 eye doctors to figure it out. The glasses I use have a 
minimal rose coloured tint and it helps.

But, If I am talking to someone I need to take them off, otherwise I 
can't focus properly. So no contacts for me.
