I use the IPad a lot for reading, writing and surfing the net, and I've always worn readers. I thought I would try these because of the high level of light the iPad gives off, which can be tiring if you read for long periods like me. These glasses are perfect. They make the type crisper, glare is indeed reduced and I find my eyes are not as tired when I use them. Bonus is that they're attractive, well made and well priced. The helpful suggestions for selecting the proper strength were great. I'm thinking of getting another pair to use when I'm on my regular computer!
