I just pay the doc as independent contractor. SHE will pay her own taxes on the income and I will write it off :) She is very good at what she does and that is key.

I call BS on those, they have a magnification power to them then they toss a high contrast lens in with anti-glare coating. So all these no job all day gamers breaking into their late 30's that are turning presbyopic like a little extra plus power for work closer then 20ft so all the reviews are great when in all actuality they probably havent had an eye exam in 5 years lol
You would be better off getting a proper script in computer distance only lenses. Dont be shy, tell your eye doc or optician that you want a setup for gaming only. Bet you'd love em.

Listen to the Splaveman.
When you're up and walking around you blink every 4-5 seconds.
When you stare at a screen (or read, or drive, or sew...) you blink every 10-20 seconds.
Those of you over 40 are blinking even less while you stare and squint trying to see crap up close.
Cutting the Lasik flap also cuts corneal nerve endings that play a role with your tears. Effectively makes you even drier Supes.

Hell, I remember when I could do bridge mods without a magnifying glass. Now I'm lucky I can read the stepping.
Wife has RP though, so I guess I shouldn't complain at all.
