+1. Something interesting I’ve learned - there can sometimes be a .25 - 1 Diopter difference in the Rx depending on one’s tear film. (Which intuitively makes sense - it’s the surface of the focusing lens, essentially). PF free eye drops have been very helpful for me.

I’d still love to chat for 20 mins if you’re up for it. Want to better understand your frustration with the typical optometry process. I’m at jbornhorst [at] gmail.com.
jbornhorst··on Ask HN: Do your eyes bug you even though your prescription is "correct"?
I tried this recently and it’s the real-deal. Really neat to see a Rx written in .01 Diopter accuracy. Haven’t tried the Zeiss lens yet that takes advantage of the resolution info, but plan to. You can find providers with inscription on the the Zeiss website.

jbornhorst··on Ask HN: Do your eyes bug you even though your prescription is "correct"?
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.
