1. Eyeglass chain

2. Command hook

Put the eyeglass chain on your glasses. Hang the command hook upside down on the back of the monitor. Hang your glasses so that they hang in front of the monitor (that's why the command hook is upside down!) Then when you go to work your glasses are hanging in front of your monitor.

/s?

If your body doesn’t tell you you need them, it is not medically critical. And you have plenty of time to acquire the habit.

You can also change monitor scaling.

When it comes to reading glasses, an abundaence of cheap glasses is probably easier than tracking one special pair.

They are $1.25 at DollarTree. Four bucks and up at Wallmart. Keep a pair in your shirt pocket, a pair in your hoodie pocket, and two pairs pushed back on top of your head.

Good luck.

1) Old laptop (because it has separate volume control and loudspeakers) that once an hour plays an audio file of a voice saying "are you wearing your glasses?". Perhaps even "Time to stand up, stretch, drink some water, check the CO2 level, check you are wearing your glasses and sit with good posture" if you want to take automated nannying to the next level.

2) From a brief google it looks like computer vision can be used to detect if a person is wearing glasses. A software development project with openCV running on a raspberry pi using a webcam to detect if you are wearing your glasses. Perhaps programmed to only activate during working hours. Perhaps it could flash some red LEDs.

Some things in the distance are a little fuzzy but I just got used to not trying to focus on everything in the house.

But also if I'm not wearing them at my computer I really notice and it's a little difficult to work without them. I sometimes forget to bring them to a Starbucks and I can still work while wearing my normal glasses, but it's not as easy.

That being said, your Optometrist might not recommend this behavior. I haven't noticed any downsides to doing this though, and I've been doing it this way for like 6+ years now.

Intentionally practice sitting down at your desk and putting on the glasses. Aim to intentionally practice doing it once a day. Start now: sit down at your desk, put on your glasses, and then go back to whatever you were doing. Then set an alarm to practice the same thing once tomorrow.

After you've successfully practiced intentionally sitting down at your desk and consciously putting on your glasses once per day, several days in a row, then start doing the same thing twice a day (again by setting an alarm to practice). After several days of that, do it three times per day.

My guess is that, after doing this, you'll start doing it automatically whenever you're at your desk.

The one key is consciously practicing the habit on a schedule instead of trying to remember when you happen to sit at the desk randomly. The other key is starting small and building up.

Good luck!

P.S. unless you have a dog. Some love chewing on glasses
