Taking a rough poll based entirely on my fellow companions on the train as I type this, I feel confident in saying that precisely 30% of the UK’s population wear glasses. Well, let me tell you, you shouldn’t. The way forward is contact lenses, as it revolutionises the amount of screen space on your desktop’s TFT or your laptop’s built-in display.

I’m not a habitual wearer of contact lenses – the only reason I am now is because a few of us just headed down to Regents Park to play football against infinitely fitter opposition – so it’s something of a revelation.

The 12.1in screen of my laptop suddenly looks closer to 14.1in, and the 17in display I use as my second screen during the day appears to my lens-blessed eyes as a 19in or even 20in screen.

So, fellow glasses wearers, we need to work out the economics. Pay an extra £50 to £100 for a larger display, or simply use contact lenses every day. Something to work into our calculations in the next PC Pro monitor group test, clearly.
