AGI Not really with the iphone X. I had a big improvement with my notebook (Dell latitude E5550 W10 1809). Now I can use it all day with zero issue, before the correction I had low eye strain with it (usable but not totally fine)! Unfortunately I couldn't try the MBP 16" with the correction because I sent it back before I get the eyeglass! I am planning to try again the MBP 16" 2020 at the end of the year, it's should have the mini led display also.
Macbook Pro 2015 is perfect but Macbook Pro 2016 and after cause problems
Seagull Yes, I have the same experience. I bought exactly the same setup I had at work, to use at home, only to then realize how the lighting is completely different in those two environments. Unfortunately, I have a lot more of natural light at work (in part because I'm at work during the day), so at night at home it's always a lot worse..

JTL You are right, sorry.
Quoting:
In current use...the term NMR is preferable when one is describing the physical phenomenon itself or when referring to the measurements of the nuclear induction signal in physics or chemistry laboratories. The word "nuclear" is dropped when referring to imaging or spectroscopic techniques for humans or animals. Most scientific journals prefer to use the phrase MR imaging (rather than MRI) when referring to the clinical technique.
The goal of the analysis was to see if nerve pinching was the cause of eye twitching. No anomalies were detected.

Lauda89 Interesting, cause my left eye has been 0.5 astigmatic forever and I never tried glasses. I will consider trying.
Yet I do not get why I had strong eyestrain between 2013 and 2016 and no issues between 2016 and 2018 and since 2018 it has been a nightmare again. All I did was changing jobs, devices and overhead lighting. Same eyes and no glasses.
tfouto 0.5 astigmatism, if I got it right (see his previous posts).
tfouto 0,5 astigmatism. But my right eye is worst than the left one because it has irregular astigmatism. I've also a bit of esophoria but I am not doing visual therapy or wearing prisms at this moment.
AGI I think that you should try. i see a big difference in reading and stay in front of a monitor. I don't use it for the rest of the day.

What is irregular astigmatism? Do you mean your eyes are asymmetric?
I was told that a small astigmatism is not unexpected for my left eye, which is a bit smaller and more stretched than the right eye. I feel quite relaxed reading on paper though, that is why I never opted for glasses.

AgentX20 I've now completely reinstalled the laptop to an older OS - High Sierra - and, well, the problems are still evident. So I'm at a loss...
Want to try 10.11 for kicks? I suspect post 10.11 there are some GPU driver changes that affect even Nvidia GPUs. Trust me on this.
I might have a copy of the install image somewhere

I'm not sure there's any point. Numerous previous MacOS have run perfectly previously the only 'bad' version was the newest release. Now it's the last three, and I simply cannot explain that!

As for this, my closest working theory is either a system BIOS or VBIOS (GPU firmware) update may have been installed by an OS upgrade that borked something 
I wonder if there is a way to install 10.11 on a 2017 iMac (not officially supported), maybe run it from a USB drive? I already have 10.11 in a virtual machine, but without graphic acceleration it is unusable. So I cannot say how good it is for the eyes.
I can confirm, that the majority of problems began to arise somewhere around 2016-2017.
This includes (for me) all kinds of products with displays and even some software, like some games.
Yesterday i tried again World of Warcraft out of curiosity and after an hour already felt the discomfort. Today my eyes are still having this kinda focus-problem and probably tomorrow it will be gone again, as always before.
I'm not happy... Again...

This matches my own thoughts... I have gone looking for BIOS updates for this Macbook Pro (late 2013) version and there aren't any public updates for many many years, which sort of dampens this theory.
AgentX20 Yeah, which is why I went looking for OS updates that might have sneaked something in, and I couldn't see anything that corresponded to the onset of problems.
That's not an easy thing to do without actually taking apart the update files.
Even the update changelogs or Apples support site won't always list the firmware updates.
