Glad contacts work for you. I hated them: blew out, sweated out, dried up, muck trap – stuck with it for a couple of years but happier in specs.
I've got an old pair of non-sport ones modified to raise the bridge and it's worked better than bike-specific optics. I've tried it all, trust me.
Amazing how 10mm rise is all it takes to cross the threshold from awesome cornering but cumulative neck tension to almost awesome corning and no tension.

^ good points
Another big outcome from scherrit's session for me was wear contacts on the bike which I do now .. so much comfort esp for longer rides. Or prescription cycling specific glasses such as Rudy Project (pricey).
I went to scherrit expecting to get 'zero' on flexibility scale but it was rather opposite. Since then (and even before) I have a 10 min stretch regime that I do most mornings. Calfs, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexor, spine and neck/shoulder area. I can feel the difference on the days I dont do it; the days I do legs spin almost effortlessly.
On the fizik saddle test although I am a bull I have been using Arione (Kurve Snake) from as long as I can remember. I have tested aliante and antares but arione is the one for me. So dont believe the marketing spiel.
tl;dr Go see scherrit or do a long self monitored and more expensive bike fit which may or may not be right.
