I started wearing glasses for very little time, but whenever I use for reading feel eye pain, what to do?

It has nothing to do with using reading glasses. what happens is that in Brazil or in places with tropical climate, there is much light, it justifies the increase of people with problems in the sights, but it is not only this reason, the factor has biological and genetic too. Not all people who have problems with views, but almost half the population has some degree. People who read poorly, as in dark, high brightness ..... probably you may also have a problem in view, not necessarily with much reading or study.

Can I get my eye prescription for free?

I don't know what country you are in but, in the US, they have to provide it if you ask (not sure if it must be free of charge), but most places just give you a copy if you ask. Generally, it is good for 2 years from date of eye exam. They probably will NOT give it over the phone as the risk of an error is pretty high. When you get it, before leaving, look at it and make sure you can read/understand it; ask if necessary. In the US, doctors have to give you the copy of your prescription if you can provide the evidence that you have done the eye exam right there before. But I am not sure if it is free of charge. Make sure you can read and understand the prescription before leaving the office. Just get the prescription by yourself, not to simply call on phones.

Do I need computer glasses if I have progressive glasses for working on the computer or reading?

If your progressive glasses have the multi-focal for reading and computer distance ,you don't need separate computer glasses .Many people ask why they need specific glasses for computer work. Well, to answer that, we have to get into the differences between computer glasses and ordinary reading glasses. See, the regular glasses you wear don’t really provide the accurate vision correction for the distances typical in computer work. In order to see clearly, many resort to the methods of leaning toward the screen or looking down through the bottom part of their lenses. Such mis-position in working usually lead to eyestrain, dry eyes, headaches and blurred visions. With computer glasses, because the powers are particularly adjusted for the computer vision distances, there is no need to adjust the sitting position in order to see.
