About Us
As you can tell from my picture I have been around a while. One of my most enjoyable tenures was as a research officer with the Canadian Forces Institute of Aviation Medicine and then the Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine. I never did lose my interest in solving problems with as simple a solution as practical.
My work as a Human Factors Engineer was primarily concerned with Aviation Safety but I did get involved in programs as diverse as developing combat glasses for the army. My experience in researching white out conditions in the high Artic was less successful.
My increasing age and spending upwards of 12 hours a day on the computer has certainly brought new meaning to the word “eye fatigue”. I did get two different sets of prescription glasses custom fit one for the office and another for laid back surfing at home at a longer distance from the monitor. I got along without special lenses for years but sure would not go back now!
I could not understand why there were no “off the shelf” solutions to providing appropriate Computer eye glasses until I recognized that most States and Provinces have regulations in place that prohibit the dispensing of eyeglasses including in many cases, reading glasses with different prescriptions for each eye! Further research made me aware that several lobby groups have attempted to have these regulations overturned on the grounds that dispensing incorrect prescription glasses will not cause any physical harm since in the worst case the consumer will simply stop wearing them due to discomfort.
I found this irritating and then discovered that as long as I do not “dispense” eye glasses (as defined in the Regulations) within my Province of Ontario I can ship anywhere else in the World. I am offering a full refund within 30 days for any reason at all so I think the chances of having any consumer suffer through wearing a pair of these computer reading glasses for extended periods of time WITH THE WRONG PRESCRIPTON is virtually impossible.
