Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you find yourself swapping glasses a lot throughout the day, or do you mostly stick with the occupational ones when working?

I wear my occupational lenses 100% while working at my computer/laptop or doing some up close and small fiddly work (i.e. soldering a circuit board). I wear my regular glasses otherwise, but find myself frequently taking them off to focus on things close to me (i.e. if I want to read something really quick or use my phone for more than a quick glance).

That makes sense! It sounds like the occupational lenses have made a huge difference for screen work, even if juggling two pairs is a bit of a hassle

Yes. I think I need to get checked for BVD

I had headaches for 6 months before I heard about BVD. I got checked, and ended up getting glasses with +-0.25 diopter vertical prisms in them. A very small correction, but life changing. I felt like I was walking on solid ground immediately after putting them on. Definitely recommend getting checked for BVD because the fix is so easy, and the impact is huge.
