I think I'm afraid of going blind in a few years' time and wondering what I could do to... maybe not go blind. I'd think switching to displays that are easier on the eyes, like E-ink, would at least slow the decay, although the color gamut and refresh rate limit me out of most of what I use LED-display devices to do, including gaming (and VR) and videos. I think I could get away with coding on an E-ink monitor, although it wouldn't be comfortable to use in the least. I think it's okay if my watch uses an LED-type display, since I mostly just glance at it. Once they're more readily available (read: cheaper) and maybe better, I might get a color e-ink tablet and do most of my social and chat stuff and news reading on that.

It also hits at a bit of an identity crisis too, since the one thing I do remotely well involves sitting behind a screen for hours and hours at a time. I guess I had ought to find something else and force myself to be interested in it... or something. What I do ends up quite limited in where it can be used and that's closing, since I don't write AI or program robots. So not only is my one passion making me go blind, its usefulness (in keeping me fed) is decaying just as fast -- already beyond my ability to get a job in the field.
