OP here - wow, didn’t expect this to resonate so strongly! Thanks to everyone who’s commented or reached out directly.

I’m currently lining up interviews to learn more about your experiences. If you’ve commented here but haven’t connected yet, feel free to email me at: jbornhorst [at] gmail [dot] com.

I’m especially interested if you’ve experienced persistent discomfort even after updating your prescription professionally (headaches, eye strain, subtle blur, etc.). Pure research, no selling. Your insights will help shape a better solution.

I’ll do my best to reply promptly to everyone. Thanks again, and please keep the stories coming!

Presbyopia - the lens in our eyes begin to harden at age 40, making it harder for our eye muscles to "squeeze" the lens to focus. Presents itself as blurriness and eye strain. We usually encounter a change in our Rx during this time too, sometimes needing a weaker Rx (counterintuitively).

Would love to chat about your experience in any case. I'm at jbornhorst [at] gmail.com if interested.
