My vision is only in perfect(ish) focus at the exact distance that I sit from my computer screen. I can't imagine that this is a coincidence.

It probably isn't but there are simple exercises to help ameliorate it†. (The problem is that I am frequently too lazy or too busy to do them.)

†unless, in your case, the arrow of causality between vision and computer screen distance is in the opposite direction.

what exercises should we be doing?
The obvious one is taking regular breaks from the screen. Focus on things at least 10-30 meters away, so your eyes can relax.

Also, with a good lens setup or with direct projection, VR/AR headsets could theoretically set the focus distance at any distance or even dynamically change it. This would also solve the vergence-accommodation conflict with current headsets.
