Computer reading glasses

2019-12-10 14:23:26
I do not have any vision problems, the only thing is I have suddenly started facing eye strain and headache while looking at my PC at work. Hence, I wanted to ask do I need to consult the opthalmologist before purchasing computer reading glasses from a specs store?
