[CQ-Contest] Contesting/Computer glasses?

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

GA Jukka, 

Yes, I hadn't thought of polarization or even a "blue light" filter.  I wonder if that's a thing for contesting?
I don't recall seeing the original post Gary is referring to, but as we all age, I suppose someone out there
in CQ-CONTEST land will certainly be able to advise us!

CU this weekend from "New Brunswick"....I'll be SB 15m HP
