Purchasing prescription glasses can be a challenge and often confusing when you do not know all the lens options. In this video, I walk you through different anti reflective coatings on glasses (such as anti reflective coating glasses vs blue light glasses), as well as showing different glare coatings and the pros and cons of each.
If possible, it is always best to consult your local optician or glasses shop for more information and details about what is best for you and your glasses prescription.

    I previously heard you mention the Crizal Sapphire coatings. I spent a small fortune on them and they were the absolute worst coatings I ever had. After a few months, it looked like I had scratched the lenses with sandpaper. That was just the coating peeling off. My local optical shop honored the warranty except I had to pay $25 for shipped to and from and wait about 3 weeks. The same thing happened about 10 months later. No warranty for the second failure. Since then I have had great luck with standard coatings and lenses from Costco and from Zenni.

    I've bee using prevencia coated lens for ages (at least 7-8 years) I even wash it with soap or even use sanitizers. No issues here. I think the issue is with the 'premium' sapphire coating rather than crizal itself. But I've heard that Zeiss is actually better to avoid glare, so I am thinking of getting a spare with Duravision, but I can't make up my mind which one to go for, platinum (sapphire competitor) or Blueprotect (prevencia competitor).

    actually for blue light filter lenses, they have new technology to make the lenses absorb the light instead of reflecting it via coating, so we would no longer experience the weird purple light appearing a lot when wearing these. Essilor BlueUV Capture & Zeiss Blueguard are those best candidates.

    I've worn glasses for over 20 years. Always too cheap to get the anti reflective coating. But finally got nutty and spent the extra $5 at Zenni. SO much better at night. I never realized how much flare and glare there was, and the farther you look, the worse it is. With the AR coating, night time vision is suddenly much more clear. It's almost as though the light glare was some kind of solid material like smoke or fog. Daytime and computer/TV I don't see much difference, but after dark it is crazy how much better is it.

    Yep, can't have that yellow tint if you are in a profession that decides what colours to use for a project. I had Prevencias many years ago; the yellow tint was something I could get used to as I wasn't doing professional graphic design but the purple reflex colour was so obnoxious I moved to the Crizal Forte when I got new frames. But as those have broken at the bridge, I am in the market for new ones and am seriously thinking of getting the Sapphire HR.

    Very useful vid. Now, let's see you do one on the various tinted lenses from yellow, blue, green, violet, etc., as they all do serve specific purposes like yellow for sports field vision/dusk-driving, etc. *A lil secret... The blue or purple tinted ones seem to aid those with colorblindness, esp. red/green. [This as it is very hard to find red ones, esp. in polarised.] I have Rx pairs in yellow & blue, aside Transitions. (I dod suspect this is why most Enchroma Trivex lenses are more violet tinted as well.) I have mild deutan, or green light wavelength weakness. Have taken both Ishihara & H.R.R. book tests to reveal same results each time as it is congenital w/ my grandfather & brother also having it to some degree. (My brother less than I.) I've also got mild visual snow/static syndrome to go along w/ it which also creates a consistent, low-pitched ear ringing or some sort of tinnitus. But, we're veering way off course here...

    Very thorough as always, Doc. However, I must say I strongly believe it's time you dive properly into the available evidence regarding blue light and stop promoting it. I think it hurts your credibility. I just recently wrote a systematic review as my bachelor's thesis about blue light in regards to digital eyestrain and sleep quality. After sifting through 250+ articles and rating the evidence of the final 4 articles we included with Gradepro software, we concluded that there's no evidence to suggest that blue light causes digital eyestrain, and that anti blue light coatings have no effect on the sleep wake cycle. If, however, you still want to reduce blue light before bedtime, using the night mode on your phone is far more effective at reducing blue light. Also, studies showed that you're exposed to hundreds of times more blue light when outside on even a cloudy day compared to sitting in front of a computer. Finally, the few studies that claimed blue light was in fact harmful usually suffered from major bias, very low quality evidence and oftentimes massive conflicts of interests, like lens manufacturers sponsoring the studies/employing the authors or even paying them with shares and stocks in the company...

It is interesting that it is promoted to help with digital devices when, as you said, we get WAY more exposure from the sun than we get from any digital device out there.

    Hey Christian! Thank you so much for calling this out. You are very right about the misinformation around blue light and It is frustrating the say the least. I have always tried to sort of...dance around blue light a little in videos in that there still seems to be some heavy debate about it within the industry and once again, the research is lacking. From the research I have read (and perhaps I have not read all of the studies you have) the the most solid ground of any science is blue light affecting sleep cycles/mood, the challenge is by how much (time and intensity), what wavelength the ipRGC are most sensitive to (+ what wavelengths the lenses filter/block) and when you get exposed to it (time of day or night) are all the variables that I have had a hard time finding good scientific evidence to base a recommendation on. Perhaps it's too early to tell. (I usually recommend people to simply try to put screens away after sundown if they can or switch nightmode on) or if they want to try blue light glasses they can try them but that there is still not enough research out yet (I do trust some brands more than others though based on what we know about ipRGC and there wavelength sensitivity). As you mentioned, many studies seem be lacking. Either by design, subject numbers or by conflict of interest. When I first starting talking about blue light on the channel - I dug very deep into the studies and even attended extra lectures at national meetings on the subject (all which were free from corporate sponsorship and very skeptical about it as well), largely because I wanted to better understand it so I could give my best recommendations about it. Blue light is a not a new concern to the eye care industry. The concern of blue light on retinal health has been theorized as contributing to possible retinal oxidative stress and possible disease, such as ARMD for example, has been around since the late 80s/90s. Sadly, many of the studies I have seen don't necessarily show much of a cause and effect. Or they were completed in extreme environments. You are absolutely right about the sun causing more of an extreme source of blue light (which I have mentioned in several videos), yet the theory still stands that blue light from the sun could be more of a concern than other wavelengths ( UV light for example), because blue or violet light still penetrates through the crystalline lens to the retina better than other wavelengths. But...most epidemiological studies which suggest shorter wavelength light as a culprit are still...at best, just epidemiological studies largely done through questionnaires. (imagine asking an 80 year old man with macular degeneration how much he remembers wearing sunglasses as a kid...probably not the most useful info). The short answer is that the human eye is very good at protecting itself from oxidative stress (to a point). Or at least until enough cholesterol and calcium build up in Bruchs membrane and the RPE begins to suffer, but either way we do know oxidative stress plays a roll in macular degeneration. The role blue light plays in retinal disease still needs more research. One interesting study (which again is lacking in several things but raised my brow when I read it ((I also hate to cherry pick small studies, but again is interesting)) - had to do with blue light exposure contributing to uveal melanoma or at least the theory that it could raise the risk of uveal nevi converting to melanoma. Which most eye care professionals I speak to have never heard of such a concern. But then again, there is even debate in dermatology around blue light and it's effects on cutaneous nevi - here is that article in case you had not seen it: jeccr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1756-9966-28-48 The whole phenomena about blue light and eyestrain is highly doubted by myself and largely in the eye care industry. I can tell you clinically, a lot of people come in claiming it helps. Wether this is completely placebo effect, or just a slight photophobia reducing effect, if it helps people, it helps. Most of the studies I haver ever come across on blue light glasses and eyestrain are very poorly designed. Including Dr Singh's research you sited. That study was so poorly designed I was shocked and somewhat embarrassed for the Journal of Ophthalmology that they published it. -They selected their subjects based on a questionnaire about computer vision syndrome, which is not the same thing as eye strain - most of CVS is dry eye and the majority of the questions used that on questionnaire was about dry eyes (so how do you know you got true eyestrain subjects vs just dry eye subjects) - they tested Essilor Prevencia lenses, which have very little blue light filtering capabilities as it was designed at an early phase of the blue light craze and was meant to be an early response to concerns about retinal health risks to blue light and not eye strain or sleep cycles. -They used CFF as an "objective measurement" of eyestrain which I have read about and while the theory sounds good, the results of research around that are also very mixed and in my opinion, doesn't make much sense. -And of course, as with many of eyestrain studies, they for some odd reason decided a 2 hour long computer tasks was long enough to measure when people get eyestrain. There are more things I could point out but that is all beside the point. Other studies often lack in that they do near vision tasks for even less time or without standardizing for cycloplegic refractive power or screen for binocular vision issues beforehand. I am not defending that blue light glasses help with computer eye strain, at this time, I personally doubt it really does (I feel refractive error, binocular vision, photophobia, dry eye, and ergonomics/lifestyle plays a much larger role in eye strain). Overall, I am very happy you got to do your research on the topic and I would love to read it if you wouldn't mind sending me a copy. Happy to send you my notes/thoughts on it if you would like. If you are so inclined, please email to doctoreyehealth@gmail.com Thanks again for watching and for commenting, it does mean a lot. Perhaps I can focus on making some "updated" blue light facts videos and can give you a shoutout for sharing your research/thesis/project with me. Wish you the best. -Joe

    Castor oil is often used in artifical tears as it can help with stabilizing the oil levels of the tear film. I have seen a few studies on castor oil and most of them are on rabit eyes and not human eyes. There has been reports of castor oil causing some epithelial toxicity but I have also heard many people report anecdotal success with it. My concerns is that I have not seen very good studies on the source and potential side effects. I will look into though for a future video.

    Diffraction spikes (those straight lines of light you describe) are often explained as being caused by "astigmatism" however, diffraction spikes are unlikely to be caused by astigmatism unless someone has very high amounts of astigmatism or some level of corneal scarring. Most diffraction spikes are caused by eyelashes and eyelid interactions or defects in optical correction, such as a greasy or dirty glasses or contact lens.
