I'm a new doctor of optometry graduate trying to figure out my next career move. I love binocular vision and technology so I feel like I would enjoy work in research and development for VR. My question is, do companies such as Apple or Meta need people who specialize in eyes? I would likely need to have additional research training to be qualified, which I'm guessing would take another two years, and even then, I'm not sure if they would need eye specialists at that time. I'd appreciate if anyone has input!

Non-technical user here: I recently graduated from optometry school and would like to make a website with a few useful tools for calculating some numbers that are important in optometry. I've always wanted to learn how to program and I think this might be a good introduction to it. I'd like to make a simple website that takes mathematical inputs and gives outputs. I would also like it to be mobile-friendly.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a newbie to the tech-space or am I in way over my head? I'm asking on HN becuase there seem to be a dizzying number of ways to create a website with little experience, but it seems like everyone is just selling a product, which can be a little off-putting. I'd like to be a little more self-sufficient and learn how to do things along the way.
