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 have very slight astigmatism. I don't wear glasses when I ride my motorbike because they're a pain with the helmet. I don't have issues, but when I drive a car, I usually wear them. The difference is that I can see traffic signs much further away, especially at night. I do wear them when working at the computer, since I find they help with eye strain, but I do like using high-definition displays and prefer my text an widgets on the smaller side.

I only ever get blurry vision after very long days in front of the computer without doing anything else (think 12-14 hours). I doubt this is glasses related, since I remember having this issue while studying late as a child, and at the time I had perfect vision (which lasted until my late twenties when my ophthalmologist suggested glasses would be a good idea).
