I wish I could book 30 minutes alone with the machine and just dial it in perfectly myself.
Adding -0.5 to the diopter will often make the distance noticeably sharper in appearance while not really giving you more lines you can read, it's a sensation of sharpness but not really more info. And for that you a price because near vision will require straining your eye muscles to accommodate, and that will often cause headaches and tiredness after reading or working at a monitor.
(I had two somewhat persistent problems before I started seeing her... One was that my prescription was focused a little before infinity because the sign is 20 feet away and not infinity feet away. We tweaked some stuff and fixed that problem. The other was that if I'm tired and it's pretty low contrast outside, I always see double. We added some extra prism for that and it's helped a lot. I've had the same prism prescription for 30 years but adding more was a noticeable improvement.)
I had the same odd sentiment about the use of the images as well. It does nothing for me about wanting to use the font.
But my cataract problem is getting worse, and I may have to bump the size up yet again. I have yet to find another font I like as well.

(I don't really follow fonts but I do know there is a subculture crazy about them, so I thought it could be theoretically possible that people would write reviews of them).

Atkinson Hyperlegible from the Braille institute is the way if we're going for fonts from vision experts
This is fantastic! More custom fonts like this should be open sourced.
To me the font looks pretty legible. Worth noting that the font is from 2018, so it's not really a new font, but it is still one of my favorites.
