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.

Yes, but the solution is simple — get up and look at something further away than my screen. I rely on my eyes bothering me to tell me that I need to get up and move.

This is called the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at someone 20ft away (or just close your eyes) for 20 seconds.

I wouldn't call it "the" solution: it's part of a complete breakfast.
