Jacob Neilsen the "guru" of website design says the same thing too. His site sticks to those principles. So does mine :) It’s not just you who thinks that.

Those lens aren't big at all but, as far as i know you need some time and willpower to adjust. The only problem i saw in your case with them is that is quite difficult to find the exact way to look at the monitor with them (or at least that is the problem a colleague of mine is having with them). Ciao!

I still have great distance vision, but everything close-up and computer distance is a blur. I had a pair of bifocals (progressives make me dizzy) made up with my reading Rx and my computer Rx. I can keep them on all day at my desk without having to change glasses, but I do take them off when I walk around. Since one of my eyes seems to have a little astigmatism, I'm going to look into getting contacts for my overall vision, and should just need dimestore readers to add to the mix when I need to read up close. Maybe a similar solution would work for you? Yep, my perfect vision went south in my early forties. I still have great distance vision, but everything close-up and computer distance is a blur.
