Liquid Glass’ blurred content everywhere is especially cruel to those of us who use reading glasses or progressives.
The reflex to seeing blurry text on our phones is to adjust our sight angle or distance to sharpen it. But, of course, it’s not our fault, doesn’t sharpen, and just causes eyestrain.
Text on my phone should never be blurry.

I interpret Figure 3 of this study to show presbyopia to peak at about 72% in a given age group, with about 50% of 40-45 year olds affected.
After reading some Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic articles, I understand why ChatGPT thinks 100% of 65 year olds are affected: those sources site 65 as the age when all your presbyopia has happened to you.
Caveat: I don’t actually know what this line from the sites study means: “It is important to stress that this describes the number of people who would be vision impaired at near without adequate optical correction, not simply those who can not accommodate from distance to near. The latter essentially would be everyone from approximately 55 years of age onward.”
