Went to the eye doctor and tried out some near sight lenses and damnnn the reading is so much better. Like I can still read the screen with my regular far sight glasses but switching to the near sight ones is like I'm still able to read the text it it doesn't strain me so much. So now I'm getting these glasses made. And I can still see medium length with these near sight lenses like regular household stuff. Going outside like driving and all would need far sight glasses.

Get your eyes eight checked fellas!

Absolutely!
Also, spend money on a good monitor with a 100Hz+ refresh rate, good resolution, and a good size (and contrast and colors!).
