Primary life bottleneck now is chronic eyestrain from too much indoor time and failure to acquire suitable visual hygiene habits like 20-20-20 (stare >20 feet away for 20 sec every 20 min). Even if I did that I don’t think it would be enough. Need long unmasked walks 🤓🤬

I'd imagine bright background lights might help with this. I'm building some with .
Indoor environments are about 1% as bright as being outdoors.

Yes, lumens per square meter (lux). You can get a decent measurement from a number of phone apps sense most phones auto-adjust screen brightness.

Visible spectrum or overall? And we don’t notice why? Log response and pupil contraction I’m guessing....?

get yourself a cheap LED studio light rated for about 60 to 200W, ideally with customizable color temp, and just point it to the ceiling. surprisingly changes mood and quality of life. they were insanely expensive but now like 100x cheaper ($150-300 not $20,000)

Still not clear to me what’s causing the strain: indoor light levels or the lack of long-distance focusing

Yep, you get 50-300 lux indoor and 2000 (clouds) to 20,000 (sunny day in the *shadow*) to 200,000 (sunlight) outdoor
