      wow- interesting question
      I hadn’t really thought about this before. Approaching the problem systematically I suppose I would think about the particular reason why you wear lenses ( short or long sighted eg) and why you wear them – for work, or all the time.
      There may be advances in screen technologies that mean that we no longer have flat screens, so what we look at will adapt to our vision? We may go full on ready player one and use VR all the time? – maybe you will discover a technology that fixes this issue??
