I wear glasses. I noticed I was struggling to read some of the parameters on the screen. I measured the distance between my eye and the monitor. When I was getting my next eye-glasses prescription I asked the opthamologist to write me an extra prescription for that distance (which was 36”) and she tested me for that distance and then wrote that.

I bought an extra pair of glasses just for working with the monitor. Amazing difference and clarity. I now never use the monitor without those glasses. It’s too good.

This is so important! In my studio I have got everything at arms length. In a U shape around me. I had two pairs of glasses made. High quality glasses, and by a very reputable optometrist. Get a full test done and get your glasses checked every 2 years as well. Things change. They can customise your glasses any way you want them to operate. The multi lens thing now is the best its ever been, its totally smooth looking through different parts of your lens.

The first pair was for my studio use. Focused perfectly in the middle of the lens, everything at arms length. Tilt head down and then look through the top and I can see synths a little further distance away perfectly sharp. Tilt head up and look through the lower section for everything super close to you such as looking down at your console. It's a dream come true. Very slight precise head movements make for every part of your studio being razor sharp. So yes combine that with a decent sized and sharp detailed monitor and things will look quite fantastic. That and good lighting is essential in your studio. All the important stuff lit so you are not straining to see.

The second pair is for me watching TV , the distances involved a little longer. Driving, looking at a distance, and also looking down at a book. The second pair was set up for three different viewing functions. It all cost but it's worth every penny though. Makes working in your studio much easier and better and hence nicer and more creative.
