Or you can go the tri-focal route like I did last week.  Haven't got them
yet, but even with the table 6 inches  lower, short little ole me was
still craning my neck.  I never have had a monitor on the box, and I
just dred it when I have to go to one of the pods here on campus to test
something because I really get a kink in my neck then.  The tables are
high to start with and the monitors are on the boxes.  Made for
7-foot-tall folks, I guess, not us down here at 5-2 :-(

The student consultants get a good laugh when I ask for books and bring a
blanket or jacket to sit on -

Anybody out there gone with tri-focals?  I jut got tired of tired eyes,
tired neck, tired everything.....

But Geoff has some good points.

The best solution for me has been Veri-Lux lenses.
They have variable correction from top to bottom
and no visible lines in the glass (or plastic).
A must for those who use glasses for distance, reading,
and computing.
