I am 45, write books for a living off and on, and when I'm deep in the
throes of a deadline it is not uncommon for me to stare at my computer
screen for four or five hours at a spell.  The problem is, I am 45, and
eyestrain and tiredness are making my normal writing pace very hard to
sustain.  Anyone else experiencing this as their eyes age?  Any strategies
to cope?

I wear progressive bifocals, and it has occurred to me that maybe I need
special "reading" glasses set for the distance from my nose to the computer.
Anyone else tried this strategy?

Thanks,

Dinty

Buy my books now, because if my eyes don't get better, I won't be writing
