However, this time I thought I'd look into the possibility of getting a second pair of prescription glasses with tinted lenses. After doing some research on the benefits of each option, I soon realised that it...

Now that many of us are having to stay at home due to social isolation, it's hardly surprising that we are spending much longer in front of our PCs, laptops, tablets, mobiles and TVs. Partly to keep in touch, partly as something to do, partly for company.
