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.

Get checked for keratosis? Prescription lenses make certain assumption about the shape of your eye. Keratosis means your eye is a slightly wonky shape and doesn't fit the "spherical with cylindrical astigmatism" model, so a lens won't correct your vision properly.

Does the problem persist with contact lenses? Soft contact lenses can do a better job of correcting vision for someone with keratosis, as they conform to the wonky surface of the cornea.

Edit: Just realised you're probably doing market research rather than asking for yourself. Either way, people with keratosis, who don't fit into the box, might be something to consider.

This, but also look into the rigid lenses. Was a game changer for me.
