    Several months later...
    
    This past Sunday's Nashua Telegraph had an article about PRIO, and
    piqued my interest.  But I do sense some mixture of substance and
    marketing here, so I'm looking for any new comments - has anyone else
    looked further into PRIO since this note started ?
    
    In Usenet, I found the appearance of a running battle between a
    supporter and an opponent, but no sign of an objective summary, and
    on Usenet you can't tell the idiots without a history lesson.
    
    The Prio web site appears to be a fair amount of hype.  My
    optometrist's office says that they'll measure for computer glasses,
    but don't use PRIO.  I've got an appointment (April 1, no less), and
    will solicit my Dr's opinion then (and report back if I remember).
    
    (My vision was seemingly fine until 1 year into my career of sitting at
    VDTs all day.  My father's vision was fine, but my Mother, Brother, and
    Sister all were near-sighted in early teens.  My current Optometrist
    theorized that if I stopped doing close work, my vision could settle
    back to normal - though old-age far-sightedness isn't far off now.  And
    it's quite unlikely that I'll stop, but maybe special glasses would
    help approximate that).
