One possibility to look into is convergence issues. The solution to presbyopia is to prescribe positive lenses. However, positive lenses force your eyes to converge more. So if you have convergence issues, these can make things worse.

This appears to be the issue I have. I’ve been to a few optometrists and they really don’t want to hear about it. To be fair, regular optometrists probably don’t have the margins to deal with problems like this. It really requires a specialist such as an orthoptist.

For now, I just manage best I can. I can only use my reading/computer glasses for a very short period of time before my eyes hurt like crazy. Then I revert to my distance glasses where I can barely read the text, but at least my eyes don’t hurt.
