• Where can I buy affordable good quality sports sunglasses?

  If you don't want to spend too much on it, I suggest you get it from online optical stores where the prices are much lower than in the brick-and-mortar optical stores. But generally speaking, it will take about 1 week or even more to get it cuz the glasses may be shipped from the overseas countries. If you aren't in urgent need of it I think this may be a good way.

• Whats the difference between computer glasses and reading glasses?

  Computer glasses and reading glasses have different focusing zone. Computer screens usually are positioned 20 to 26 inches from the user's eyes. This is considered the intermediate zone of vision — closer than driving (""distance"") vision, but farther away than reading (""near"") vision. Reading glasses are prescribed to correct near vision only. They can also be made with the same pair--bifocals with the upper part to see computer and the lower part to see near.
