Where can I find some good ones that aren't that much?

What the heck are +5 glasses? Do these give you a +5 bonus to PC usage?

 

Do you mean +5 reading glasses with computer use in mind or blue light glasses or?

If your DM allows them, they provide the user with permanent night vision and a +5 bonus to both perception and investigation checks.

 

In all seriousness, I had no idea either, but I think it's tied to the strength of the prescription. Not a glasses person though so I'm sure there are people with them that can advise infinitely better.

I assumed OP was referring to something about his prescription. I believe he's mentioned in the last having eyesight issues. 

 

I wear glasses and have most of my life, and I have my prescription saved from my last eye exam in case I need to order new ones, but I have no idea what it is off the top of my head, I dont even know what the numbers mean. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Readers are measured this way, starting at +1.25x magnification and going up from there.

 

OP, you can get them from Amazon fairly cheap but who knows what kind of quality you're going to get.   But, you don't have much to lose for 10 bucks or so.

It is easy to find normal readers, but not computer ones.

I fail to see what would be the difference between one placebo and the other.

What distinguishes "computer ones"? Some supposed blue-light filter?

Reading glassed don't focus far enough to read a monitor on a desk.

Marketing and magic.

 

BTW, there's tons of "computer" reading glasses on Amazon as well.
