Ask HN: Managing Myopia as a Developer
How do you manage myopia with 8+ hours of screen time a day?
Especially in a confined space (small homes in Europe, or offices) with no views to infinity.
Any special lenses to simulate distance like rendering the computer as a TV screen across a living room? Or a distance box (containing a photograph and stimulated at 20m distance) like at the optometrists' eye test.
Has anyone tried Endmyopia? I work on such a project. It projects myopic defocus on the screen based on longitudinal chromatic aberration. The project is in pre-clinical stage. You can try it out at https://refractify.io/ . It is aimed at recreating the visual myopic defocus signal that makes lens based myopia control techniques work. There are some promising results on animal myopia models. Eat lutein supplements and get as much sunlight and barefoot grounding I got PRK surgery. Me too (tomorrow), but it's addressing the symptom, not the cause. I'm at risk for open-angle glaucoma due to my long eyeballs.
