presbyopia (what I've been calling "middle aged eyes") is particularly sucky if you need to do computer work and only have access to a laptop. For "comfortable" viewing you need to choose between using it as a "knee-top" at arms-length, or a "hunch-top" with it being in-your-face. Neither position is ideal for ergnonomics!

@wez yeah, modern devices are terrible

Laptops could at least have split ergo keyboards to avoid wrist strain, but they don't even do that

Perhaps XR goggles or optic nerve implants can replace displays soon?

@jokeyrhyme I did try a set of viture xr glasses; they have the ability to adjust for some degree of myopia, but I'd need to supplement them with lenses for astigmatism correction to be able to work with text. They're also a bit heavy. Maybe needs a couple more years before the tech is good for this use case!

@wez but it's such a perfect technology approach to transform a neck angle and eyes problem into a neck support and wallet problem :P
