New Glasses!
The heading says it all. I now have a new pair of glasses for “VDU work” as the optician told me. I bought them from Vision Express near Monument tube in London.
For someone who has never had their eyes tested or worn glasses before I found the service to be a little lacking. I wasn’t really put at ease, and I found the atmosphere (including the bad dance music playing in the store) more like that of a gym than somewhere that trained specialists measure the defects with my vision. Individual staff members were polite but didn’t actually give the impression that they had sold a pair of glasses before (perhaps the fact that I work in the city but don’t wear a suit unsettled them 
)
Having spent over £200 pounds on them I’m reasonably happy with the results. I’m wearing them now, as I type and am finding things fairly normal. I’m keen to see how I feel about them by the end of the day, that was when the symptoms that drove me to the opticians used to occur the most.
Tip: If you find yourself making the fonts bigger in your web browser in order to read articles on a regular basis go get an eye test! I took me a few years to make the connection!)
Update: I guess I should have mentioned what is wrong with my eyes! I have an Astigmatism
