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've had the bad luck that my first prescription was quite wrong: incorrect axis for astigmatism, and incorrect spherical (I basically have only astigmatism, no spherical). So for years I was suffering through the days. Optometrists flat out refuse to correct such mistakes (I've been to many!), preferring only minor changes. I finally started ordering a bunch of glasses cheaply online, and eventually found a prescription that works for me. Cannot trust optometrists anymore.

I would love to speak with you. This is the exact case I'm interested in. I'm at jbornhorst [at] gmail [dot] com if you have 20-30 mins to spare.
