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.

I don't really know if anybody will read this, but if somebody does and knows what it is, please give me some advice. I see double text, not anything else, only sources of light, like anything on a computer screen. It is like what I am seeing from both of my eyes does not line up correctly. On a completely white background, I see spotches of grey. I have visited two or three doctors and each gave a different prescription, currently I have -1/1 approx, (I don't remember correctly). Man I am only 19, don't want to live like this T.T

Have you visited ophthalmologist? I’d start there. Your situation sounds too specific for good advice on HN…

I have visited two or three of them, but each one just gave a different prescription though turns out I have a little blood clot in one eye due to an accident I had a few years ago and a cataract in the other one, though it is to the side and not directly in the front, so no operation is required for that as of now.

Also, currently a broke college student, so don't really have the money to visit a good ophthalmologist :)
