Not everyone who wears glasses qualifies for lasik or can wear contact lenses. I’m lucky that I can wear contact lenses and get pretty good correction, but LASIK and PRK are off the table for me (I’d still need glasses all the time).

I wear contacts and still at least like to use readers for reading (even with multifocals). For day to day stuff I just let people deal with it. I have a key light which is elevated so the glare isn't too bad.

If I'm recording video or something like that I just make sure any notes on my screen are in a big enough font that I can read them.

So trying out a polarizing filter is perhaps worth looking into? I'm curious to how well it would work.

Not everyone who wears glasses wants to stop wearing them.

Though admittedly wearing a mask during the winter time has made me consider it much more than usual this year.

An unexpected bonus with lenses: Superhuman tolerance against eyes getting irritated when chopping onions.
