When I worked for a newspaper and spent hours on all sorts of screens and then even more time programming at home I looked into RSI and eye strain etc. As I understand it, sitting normally, your neck should not bent at all, your eyes should fall at the centre of the screen. The keyboard and mouse should be positioned such that the elbows are bent at right angles and the hands naturally fall to them. My chair has arms that the elbows rest upon. Seems to work for me and I have never had any problems.
With these new Desk Top glasses I have to wear them low on the nose so that I look naturally through the top intermediate part... rolling the eyes down to read something is easy and for that they are good... pretty much as good as true reading glasses.
You would probably like them David, if you can get by with full stength vari focals on the PC. They are miles better, in my case, and I dont want to use mine at all for that ... the in focus area is so small its a pain.
