In Asia, short-sightedness is becoming ubiquitous

Why do I need glasses for reading if I'm nearsighted? Unless you mean "ignores" nearsightedness and corrects astigmatism only? (Those are what I use for computer use, when I bother to wear them.)

I don't mean literal reading glasses, just apply the same principle: glasses designated to a task, which for most people would be using computer. All prescription glasses are for your "resting" vision to be on far objects. You'd want the resting vision to be on the computer.

That's just not how it works.

Really useful comment, what is "that" and how is "that" wrong?

Parent is confusing a focal point with where your eyes are focusing. Your vision gets corrected entirely, not just for certain focal lengths.

It's just a comment that so wrong it's not wrong.

My vision gets corrected entirely, that doesn't mean that there isn't a focal lenght at which my eyes are most comfortable.

Prescription glasses restore your range of focus to original which is why I said it aims for looking at far objects, at relaxed eyes.

Problem with myopia is that you overwork your eyes' muscles by staying in close focal lengths too long.
