I'm near sighted and the monitor starts getting blurry at just the right distance. I have glasses for nearsightedness that are focused very far out (the common case). Wearing them for constant work at arms length really tired my eyes out. So, I'd frequently work without my glasses, but hunch forward a little to make seeing things easier.
With glasses dedicated for computer work, I can read everything I need to, my body can stay in the position it should be, and my eyes don't get nearly as tired.
As a side benefit, the glasses help me focus in other areas of my life. I frequently wear them while cooking, and it helps me do one thing at time, as other stuff is blurry.

If it's a close enough call with another vehicle, my voice has been enough of a 'horn' to alert drives. If there's a less close conflict, then there's probably positioning/visibility change that should have happened upstream.
For me, horns are a too frequent, rude disruption in the world.

The article mentions wearing them outside, but they work inside as well.
I wear them, and they provide other benefits for me as well (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16529054#16531413)

Changing that rate does cause impacts on the rest of interest rates (e.g. bonds), though.
