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.

As someone who's been wearing glasses for all my life:

1. Your eyesight is not exactly "fixed". It can vary during the day depending on stress, tiredness, dryness, etc..

2. A prescription glass can help and does help but it doesn't magically fix your eye sight. If your eyes are strained from lengthy screen usage, the glasses are not going to do anything about that.

3. There is a possibility that your doctor prescribed you un-correct glasses. It took me a while to find my "correct" range.
