Can glasses help me?
I have great eyesight each time I've been tested, much better than 20:20. But when I try to read a lot of small text or numbers I get terrible headaches and blurred vision. I have an accounting job where keeping eye focus is critical. I can focus my eyes fine for a short time but through a whole day I constantly have to lean over my desk and peer into a monitor to tell whether it's a 6 or an 8. This would be an easy fix (by adjusting the monitor) except that I also have problems when spreadsheets are printed out. Unless they come in giant font I have to hold them unnaturally close to my face.
If it matters at all I also have terrible night vision, as in, if I'm driving at night I just follow the car in front of me because I can't see anything else (which is why I never drive at night).
Like I said, I can see all of these things, if I focus my eyes as hard as possible, but if I do that all day I feel my face may melt off. All I want to know is if this is something glasses can fix, or maybe I just need to accept that I will have to plant my face on every spreadsheet I meet from now on.
