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

I have keratoconus and stigmatism. 8 years ago I stopped wearing glasses since my vision was good enough for laptop, phone and watch but distance was always a problem. I've been doing eye exercises daily for 8 years and my 3D vision returned last year and on more and more days I can read the street signs across the street, as street signs in the US. My prescriptions used to vary between -3.25 and -4.25 with 90% distortion. My laptop vision is better also. Lately, the glare that emanates from the source of light is less and reflections off of glassy surfaces are also less. My first diagnosis was 35 years ago and over the years various surgeries and fixes were offered. Over the years, technology improves, so I feel I wait. Prognosis so far is manageable. Best of luck to you.
