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.

Lassik surgery got rid of all those issues for me. Completely.

20 minutes of (intense) discomfort. 30 minutes later I was seeing the world in high definition (with sand-in-my eyes, yes. But high definition). I took eyedrops 3 times per day for months. Totally worth it. 20 years later I remain glasses-free.

Granted, I was a mild case: Some myopia (3 and 4 if my memory serves) and .5 astigmatism on each eye. And not everyone is eligible; some people's corneas are too thin to be "sculpted".

Only drawback is that when driving at night the lights from incoming cars and traffic lights have "extra halos" around them. Very minor inconvenience for me and definetly worth it.
