> you are of course reluctant about "upgrading" your glasses because you know they only make it worse

Is that actually true? I always assumed my lenses would harden at a more-or-less constant rate no matter what I do. I wouldn't think wearing glasses could the speed up or slow down the process.

Yes I heard from a doctor that reading glasses only make the process faster because occasionally and inevitably you look at distant objects, i.e. much further than your screen, which your reading glasses are not meant for.

Interesting, I'll have to read more. From your description it sounds like the problem could be mostly mitigated if you put your glasses on only after sitting down at your desk, and remove them before standing up.
