Ask HN: Do your eyes bug you even though your prescription is "correct"?

I’m digging into an idea around eyeglasses, screen-time, and vision discomfort. If you wear prescription glasses but still get headaches, eye strain, or blurry vision after long screen days, I’d love to chat briefly (20–30 min).

Pure research, zero selling.

Interested? Drop a comment below or email me directly at jbornhorst [at] gmail.com. I’ll coordinate a convenient time to talk.

I avoided glasses for years because no matter what, wearing them would give me horrible headaches. Then one day I went to a higher end optician, spent $1000, and have been comfortably using glasses since.

So maybe more selling, less research?

What is a higher end optician and how do you find one?

Sounds like you've solved it, but I'd love to learn from your experience. 20 min chat? Can you shoot me a quick email at jbornhorst [at] gmail [dot] com so we can coordinate?

It's an optician that takes you to the cleaners in such a way that you feel good about it afterwards.

My guess is an ophthalmologist as opposed to an optician.

Can't speak for GP, but in my case it was an academic optometry center. Life changing. See my longer toplevel reply.
