    The Japanese swear by mild yellow tints for the computer.

    A brown tint about 20 to 25% absorption is good and relaxing and no AR coating needed as it will not improve anything

    Recommend a comprehensive eye exam.

    Robert wins again.

    Lots of reasons. Need diagnosis before treatment or you're just shooting in the dark.

    Welcome to Optiboard Shimuu!

    Definitely what drk says.

    Just from curiosity- How many hours a day and how many days a week programming?

    Right on Robert! Missed the boat there! I ran with the assumption it was already done. You know what they say about assuming.

    Eye exam of course, and I know a lot of people on here think Blue Tech is some bologna, but it has made extremely happy campers out of some of my clients, they just love it, even more than my ol' dipperoonie in the brown tank, which was my previous solution.
