HPR and Glasses
HPR community members are nerds
We know from movies that nerds wear glasses
We can conclude that HPR community members wear glasses
Cleaning Background
I have very oily skin and am constantly smudging my glasses
All lenses wipes are too small.
I accidentally touch the lenses with my fingers when I am trying to clean them And smudge them up again
I heard an eye doctor say, the best way to clean glasses is with dish soap and dry with a microfiber cloth
I tried this method It is a great solution because you wash glasses and fingers tips at the same time
Cleaning Method
Hand soap is OK to use on glasses.
get the soap on you fingertips
Then hold your glasses one of the lenses
Use your thumb and finger tips to clean the glasses
the soap removes the excess oil from your fingertips
no smudges when you dry with the microfiber cloth
Progressives
With regular progressives the top of the lenses is for distance vision and the bottom of the lenses is for up close vision
There is a zone in the middle for medium distance, but it is very narrow
Using a computer at work I kept having to move my head up and down to find the best position for working.
Computer Glasses have more space for intermediate distances

Computer progressive lenses, also known as occupational designs or enhanced readers, are optimized for intermediate and near vision, making them ideal for tasks like prolonged computer work or activities at mid-range distance
