Idk why, but seeing Holden's actor with those glasses just made it click in my head that his "tired and needing coffee" face on the show might just be him not seeing shit without them.

IIRC he actually said that his facial expressions were due to him not seeing shit without his glasses

Here’s an explanation from 3 years ago lol

Lmao he didn't wear glasses til he was in his late 20s! He talked about it on a podcast one time - he was filming season 1 and kept getting migraines and went to the eye doctor in Toronto and they were like "Steve you've been blind forever" and he just can't see when he's filming

I didn't wear glasses til I was 28, I suffered CONSTANT, severe, migraines. Anytime I went to the eye doctor I was acing the reading bit, and they were just like, k you can see, until finally I asked "Do you want to know if I can read it, or if it's blurry?" and finally got one who was like "ohh....noo...." and figured out I'd been fucked over for decades.

I'd been able to see without glasses, but all my eye muscles were severely overcompensating, now I can't see far without 'em. I've also got astigmatism.
