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 (nearsighted) wear glasses that are quite old at this point, I think ~7 years? My prescription has certainly changed since then, and I have had new glasses made a couple times, but the new glasses always make my eyes feel uncomfortable, despite improving my vision. I try them for a couple days and then give up and return to my 7-year-old glasses. It's been a while, so I don't remember my true prescription, nor the prescription associated with my 7-year-old glasses.

I think you'd be a great candidate for a 20 min interview. Ping me at jbornhorst [AT] gmail [DOT] com if you'd like to chat.
