I wonder what the effects on eyesight are of spending years staring at a flat screen/fixed depth of field 🤔
Natural vision is variable depth of field where your focus adjusts constantly as your gaze moves around. Even close-up work like chopping veggies has a 1-3” depth range

Still iterating on glasses mix that works for my computer eyestrain. Had to return a pair. Now gonna try drugstore readers and maybe mix lenses. Getting computer distance right is more art than science since posture range is high. Mine is ~75-110cm (armchair you desk monitor)

Might need to also enforce some hygiene and quit the highest strain posture.
Also, nobody told me weaker eyelid muscles creates a secondary kind of eyestrain, besides the primary focal accommodation strain 😫

Trend of worsening eye issues over the last 2y has definitely affected my writing. It’s also made me aware of the extent to which I’m a single-heavy-lift session guy. It’s natural for me to go 6-8 hours straight, forget to take breaks, etc. Am bad at breaking work into chunks.

Gonna try and swarm this bottleneck with
- computer distance glasses
- more breaks
- fewer marathon writing sessions of 6-8h
- outlining/chunking more
- figuring out dictation workflow
- blinking more
- more high depth of field time (looking at non-flat scenes)

I also have easily strained vocal chords and lose my voice if I have to talk a lot continuously so dictation is no panacea even if I could get my brain to think orally (spoken word density and semantic precision is really bad so takes a lot of editing and compression)

At least I have aphantasia going for me. I think lack of mental images makes me able to do more verbal thinking in my head.
But then it becomes a memory stress test. Often I’ll come up with entire good paragraphs in my head and forget because I didn’t write it down😆

Yes. I noticed that correlation. LA is much sunnier than Seattle and I also spend more time outdoors. It fits research. Also I had no myopia until early 40s.
