Contact Lenses for Computer Professionals?

LxDengar writes "For anyone who uses a computer around 10-plus hours a day, eye strain can become a serious issue. According to the American Optometric Association, 70-75% of computer workers experience eye and vision problems. Although I've tried contacts in the past, I found that my eyes dried out very quickly, and so switched back to glasses. Recently, my eye doctor mentioned a series of new contacts with better hydration for the eyes, and targeted to computer professionals (Acuvue, Ocular Sciences, etc). Do you wear contacts when staring at your screen for long periods? What contacts does community recommend for long periods at the computer?"

Easy - Don't Use Anything!

I get around the whole problem by having 20:20 vision. It works great; I can use a computer for 8-12 hours a day, read books, see things both close up and a long way off without having any of the hassle of glasses or pain and annoyance of contacts.

I highly recommend it.
