How are things going?

I also work in front of a computer 8 hours a day and while I tried avoiding telling my supervisors and HR, I eventually had to. I received a note from my Dr and had it put in my file. I am able to tailor my work schedule to fit my needs.

I am also working on another degree that is we based and I had to ask for additional time to complete an assignment. My professor asked that I reach out to the Student with Diavilities department for added help. I cried. I consider myself healthy I have had no other diagnoses or health issues, work out daily and eat right. So having this dx is too much. No one understands and I don't talk about it much.

Anyhow I hope you are well and found resolution

Hey i got ya! just joined. the group. Try using yellow sunglasses. it cuts the light and you can wear them at night. Like those blue blockers. Also polarized lenses for sunglasses. don't wear them at night. I wear the glasses as soon as I wake up regardless on how my eyes feel. I found out that if i don't once they start to bother me it is too late. it also cuts down the glare and the rays from lights.
These glasses help for the computer and TV.

My brain gets confused when I see too many things at once. like Christmas lights or in a store with too many things on the shelf. An example would be looking for Jello or Pudding in the supermarket.
I try to go with bigger font AND MORE SPACING BETWEEN LINES. It seems to be that the closer they are the harder my eyes and brain need to work to distinguish between them.
Google has on Google books a feature that cuts the blue light out of their E-books. Turns the background Yellow-orange color. Hmm where did i ear that before? Any way that makes it easier to read.
You could experiment with different colors perhaps that would help.
If you wear glasses you can get the wrap around at the drug store. I got a pair of clip on Yellow from Walmart. $7.00. I can drive at night with them and during the day I can wear the wrap around sunglasses over them. One issue with the sunglasses in general they can get heavy at times and if you are in low light you can be straining to see things with out knowing it. But the positive out ways the negative in my opinion.

I had cross linking done l st august 2016. I'm still waiting to get the right corrective lenses and maybe get Intacs.
let me know if this works

I was diagnosed with Keratoconus about 5 years ago. First I was given the rigid contacts but could not tolerate the discomfort. After many months of trial and error I found a soft lenses that allowed some corrective vision, but it was not perfect. As the years have passed I can no longer drive at night. I just turned 25+15 years old (I'm not ready to use the "F" word yet) and I'm living the life of a senior citizen. I have to be home before dark unless I use UBER or a friend is driving. I cannot read menus in dimmed restaurants. At work 3 and 8 are my enemy. I recently visited a specialist to determine my courses of action. The doctor suggested TOPOGRAPHY-GUIDED PRK or Intacs along with collagen crosslinking. I have scheduled by surgery for January 2018 but I am still unsure what is the right procedure for me. I am concerned about pain, recovery time and the end result.

I'm a little late here, but I'm a 50 year old programmer. I was able to tolerate RGP lens for 25 years or so, and then they just got too irritating. I went to a piggy back after that, using disposable lens under the RGPs. That was comfortable - almost like having a salve under the hard lens However there are a lot of drawbacks as well, such as dealing with 2 lens in each eye, and the RGPO lens will move around a bit. Also, having 2 pairs of lens made my night vision a little worse - I think due to less light hitting my eye. Driving a night was always a challenge.

I finally switched to Scleral lens. They are very comfortable, and I can program for the day. You should always take breaks when programming. I found it also helps to use a monitor with a larger pixel size. I'm using a 31" 1440p monitor. I was using a ultra-wide 34" monitor, but the pixels were just a little too small. I look for screen with a pixel size of 0.26 mm or higher. Of course you can't easily do that with a laptop (17" 1080p screen), but I don't program directly on my laptop screen all that much, and I just deal with it when I have to, and I'll even wear reading glasses (over my contacts) if I'm using my laptop for extended periods of time.

So bottom line - I would recommend Scleral lens, and monitor with large pixels sizes and good contrast. (IPS display)
