It's weirdly effective as assistive tech.

I don't think that was intentional, but it is. You're not the first person I've heard that has used it to accommodate a physical disability like that.

In fact, I used mine that way as well. I was also in a car, and lost my glasses in the process. My prescription had expired, and my face was swollen so much that even a week later I wasn't able to get an accurate eye exam. It's been two months, and I still haven't gotten my glasses worked out completely; I'm using a pair now with only one lens because one was defective.

I was able to comfortably wear the Vision Pro before I was able to get an accurate vision prescription, which I believe is because of the customized light seal. I used it for both work and play for a couple of weeks, until I was able to get new glasses that are adequate for screens.
