big screen to help myopia and astigmatism
Posted: 01-30-08 10:32am

I'm 28 years old, I'm currently having myopia, -2.50D, and astigmatism -0.50D. Last year I've had only -1.50D. And I work a lot with computers.

I'm currently using a 24" LCD screen (1280x800 resolution, larger fonts) from a viewing distance of about 80 cm (31 inches). I'm thinking of switching to a big TV LCD screen of 37" or 40" (while keeping a similar resolution like 1280x800, larger fonts) which I intent to use from as far as I can (2 or more metres).

1. What do you think? Is this solution better for trying to stop progress of myopia, as the screen will be at a larger distance?

2. What would be the ideal distance from a 37", 40" inch screen for computer work?

Thank you
