I can’t really speak to if it helps when you have a strong Rx. The curved monitors can be hard to adjust to in the beginning. You also have to watch the R number. The lower the number the greater the curve. Mine is in 1800R which is very subtle and almost can appear flat. The newer 1000r ones are super curvy and I didn’t care for it. Great for gaming but not for productivity. The R means how many of the monitors would be required to make a full circle. 1800R would need 180. 1000R needs 100.So I messed around with a 2nd monitor yesterday I forgot was in storage an old little Dell one. Hmmm. Does it help to angle the monitors in a bit so you are not twisting all the time. Ccould be that I'm simply used to being squared up in front of a monitor dead center. Is that the beauty of a curved monitor with eyes? I have atrocious vision.
Actually right now seeing how a monitor above like you do might fix that simply by staying squared up and looking up vs sideways. Hard to imagine I know, but my Rx is so strong I can't look at side of lenses I don't get crisp image....need to center up in middle of lenses. Saw a youtube vid of a guy who tested a monitor angled on desk just in front of keyboard and one above desktop monitor...kind of liked the look down idea of angled desktop. Looking up bothers neck when I'm at someones home who has a wall monuted tv up high.
ETA…..one thing that can be done if the larger curved monitors bother your eyes due to your script is create some distance. Instead of using a smaller desktop which is typically only like 24” if you have the space use a 30-36” depth. That way you are using less peripheral vision. Plus you get the bonus of extra real estate. But not everyone has that kind of space.
