Where in the article does it justify "low paid"?? Given that H1B salaries and job titles are public, and so is levels.fyi, its trivially easy for the authors to be able to fact check this. Unless it's just a scare piece desig

I've had the opposite experience. Despite having a pair of "computer vision" glasses included as part of my plan, the optometrists I've been to have all pretty much dismissed tinted lenses as woo-woo. They did suggest a
