Is it just me, or do a lot of accountants have corrective vision like glasses or contacts? I feel weird being the only one on a call without glasses.

Own it. I don't wear glasses. Im happy I don't have to deal with contacts/glasses. Idk why you would wish yourself poorer health just to fit in.

I don’t normally wear glasses but I do when I’m working. Know many in my office that wear or have glasses specifically for blue light blocking purposes. My headaches have decreased so it makes a difference for me personally.

Mine are prescription since I have slight astigmatism and don’t have 20/20 vision sadly.
Coworkers have tried Felix Gray and Warby Parker. Have heard good things but idk since haven’t tried myself.

I've had glasses since 4th grade. It was definitely caused by screens. Don't feel bad you get to see for free.

I wear contacts; I have a really bad astigmatism. I have noticed a lot of people in my office wear glasses (I personally don't like wearing them and haven't worn a pair in probably 10+ years).

Started wearing glasses when I started working in audit, about 9 yrs ago. Kept worsening every year that I update my lenses. I say the amount of time being in front of the computer staring at those excel worksheets is the culprit lol

It’s good that you don’t need them. Just please don’t be one of those people who only wear them as some fashion statement and don’t actually need them.

I wear contacts. Idk how anyone can prefer glasses with the blurry peripheral vision, need to clean, having it always on your ears, etc. If anyone reading this with glasses, can you provide some clarity on this issue?

I don't feel my peripheral is blurry. I have kind of large frames though I guess. I also can only wear contacts for like 10 hours a day. I don't feel like changing out of them at work.

Lawyers too. But interestingly I really only need mine for driving.
