I remember my eyesight was 20/20 all my life until I started playing more and more with phones and tablets, now I can barely see any font in a regular browser tab at 100% zoom so I set it to 150% by default.

One thing that changed for good is using a 50" TV as monitor connected to my mac mini at 4' distance from my chair. Now my eyes don't cross anymore and my sight has improved a lot.

So yes, I concur that looking at clouds and the horizon everyday may be a good way to recalibrate our eyes. Spend more time outdoors.

[edit] Oh, and whenever I can, I cast my phone to my tv in the bedroom so I don't spend countless hours on tiktok forcing my eyes. I wish tiktok and instagram were available in landscape mode.

One time during a long screen time session I happened to notice by accident that looking at the reflection of the screen in the office window produced almost no eye strain even though I could comfortably make out all the text off the screens reflection. Made a mental note to research into this for a potential solution but never got around to it. Find myself imagining if some setup based around a semi-transparent screen which absorbs/reflects away just the right amount, combined with a mirror to simulate long distance could be worth experimenting with for someone sufficiently motivated. Think of the setup in the opticians office where you read letters off a mirror, but semi transparent. Has anyone seen anything akin to this?

If you have an iPhone, it can warn you if you’re holding it too close if you enable the warning. Turns out I do that a lot, without realizing
