I have a pair of blue light glasses and I love them they work very well I use them while looking at my computer and television and yes they work well for driving and skiing and fishing .They protect the eyes ever so much and did you know that those artificial lights in the stores and warehouses and even the light emitting diode lights are blue lights and traffic lights are blue lights as well .I encourage anyone to research this .

Actually very interesting to hear it from someone who knows what they're talking about, personally I find that my blue light glasses help with eye strain during the day and at night, especially when I'm staring at a screen for upwards of 2 hours.

I'm a full time student and I found that blue light glasses allowed me to not only work without getting fatigued, but also helped with my sleep patterns. During Co-Vid19 it's been especially difficult to regiment screen-time considering all classes have transferred to the digital realm. I'm sure that other people under various circumstances are also increasing their screen time. My overall recommendation to anyone who seriously scrolling through these comments for actual feedback is to 1. reduce your screen-time, and 2.) if that's not an option go ahead and try blue light glasses. They're not a perfect solution they could help some screen-fatigue and sleep disruption issues.

Once I got prescription glasses for astigmatism most of my computer eyestrain went away. I had thought it was CVS so along, and tried different types of blue light filters; turns out it was best to get my eyes checked rather than try to fix the problem on my own with cheap fixes.

I’ve been wearing blue light glasses for the last 4 days and can say it’s 100% helped me with my sleep, I used to suffer from headaches nearly every day and I haven’t had a headache in the last 3 days, would 100% recommend using them mainly for helping fix your sleeping pattern if your constantly using a pc or phone screen like myself

I've been using glasses for 3 years now and since my first one I use the blue light filter, so I can't really tell if there's any difference. But as far as I'm concerned, I prefer not to risk not buying them, even because the price is almost the same for me. It's good to hear your opinion on that matter though.

I bought blue light filter glasses a couple of days ago and, honestly, so far they're working with the fatigue. Last week i was getting eye fatigue, or just an annoying feeling, and by using them, i really don't feel it anymore. Perhaps it's some kind of placebo, i don't know. But for me it works, so I'm obviously going to keep using them.

You aswered almost all of my questions, but i would really like to know what you have to say about bluelight glasses helping to reduce migraine

Thank you for the video Dr. I found this video extremely helpful and you explain everything so well.

The glasses are a great option for graphic designers like me. For us, it's not an option to have some software alter the colors on the screen. So I got myself a pair of premium blue light blocking glasses today which reduce the color alteration to a not noticable level. Have them on for about 4 hours now and already recognize a difference. They also have an anti glare coating which at least feels like it makes stuff on the screen appear a little bit sharper too.

I turned on the blue light filter on my phone, my eyes relaxed immediately, I think I’ll try the glasses as well. Very informative upload. Thank you.

My first full semester of college online and I do not want headaches 🥴✌🏽

I started using blue light filtered glasses because my eyes were starting to get very sensitive to lights when I'm driving to work at 3am every morning. It definitely helped my eyes adjust to the bright streetlights & harsh daylight when I eventually did go outside once the sun went up. They definitely helped me have a better sleep also as I only ever got about 5 hours sleep each night and when every second counts, you gotta make the most of it lol

Thanks for the video homie

Ahh thank you! Ive realized that if I dont use the night mode on my phone, I get TERRIBLE migraines! Just ordered my pair of glasses😄🤚🏻

I look at a computer about 7 hrs/day. I used to have major discomfort, blurry vision, eye strain, headaches, insomnia, dry eyes, red eyes, and tired eyes. My eyes were literally more tired than my mind and body after work. To put it simply, I was miserable. After using blue light glasses, the difference was like night and day. It was miraculous. The best 20 bucks I ever spent.

I will be trying blue eye glasses this week. I’m in college online classes BC of corona and I’ve been having to spend a lot of time during the week on the computer and I wake up get on the computer and my eyes hurt and I struggle to sleep bc my eyes get teary and just hurt from being over worked for the past month

Good work. Thank you

This is like the 5th video from this channel I’ve watched. Super informative! 😁

Good video Dr Allen. I don't know much about the filters on cell phones but my understanding is that the blue-blocking spectacle lenses only cut about 30% of the intensity. Given that the amount of blue light emitted by electronics is 50 to 100 times less than of outdoor sunlight, I am skeptical that the blue-blocker tints do much. I do treat a lot of digital eyestrain patients and first advise good nearpoint habits, ergonomics, supportive lens prescriptions, and anti-glare coatings helpful. If they were not marketed as 'computer' glasses nobody would be interested I think. I would say the excessive focusing and narrowed visual awareness involved with electronics is much more of a threat to vision than is the minimal amount of blue light they now emit.

Nice! Happy to hear it! What brand of lenses are you wearing?

I started wearing glasses when I started college 2 years ago, thinking that I would need them in the class or when reading, using devices, etc. They were initially meant to be worn only when reading or studying, but with the on-campus lifestyle, I used to wear them all day. Yes, they have a blue light filter and yes, I feel great wearing them, it feels very comforting. My question is, is it normal to feel eye fatigue when I don't have them on? My eyes would just turn red and teary.

I’ve gotten blue light glasses for about 9 months now and I’ve definitely seen a change in headaches for the good but I still sometimes get the burning sensation in my eyes after I close them though, I do sleep a lot better now because of them. Would 100% recommend for people i front of a screen for a long period.

Damn I’ll been needing these glasses since I play on the tv and phone too much

Perhaps taking a break from the near phone use would help. Wish you the best.

Tinted screen protector on the phone would help.

I am an IT professional who has been suffering from insomnia (especially since quarantine started). Thank you for that helpful information, I think I give those glasses a go and see if they help.

Thanks! For your honesty!

What brand of blue light glasses do you recommend for a teenager who is on the computer 8 hours (for school) five days a week?

Thanks for the information, I’m an animation student and have been working digitally over the pandemic. I get benefit from the night mode on screens but I still feel strain on my eyes mostly from my computer rather than my phone so been trying to find more information on blue light glasses

That's great to hear!

Simple question if your work requires you to be staring at a screen all day should you consider blue light blocking glasses

hello doctor, thanks for your videos. Could you explain the difference between using dark or light screens on computers? I mean which one you think does the least damage when it comes to working with computers. ? thanks

Great explanation! Thank you!

I sell and use blue light glasses. I have sensitive eyes and I like them in bright rooms and when I’m in the computer. Some People do not like them if they edit photos or they are artists because it makes colours look yellow. Kind of like photochromic lenses some love them and some hate them.

Absolutely. I personally love photochromics and I still discuss blue blocking for people who spend a lot of time on digital devices.

Great info! I was offered to try these blue light glasses a few weeks back when I was shopping for frames. They're a bit pricey.

It's been 3 months since you posted this comment, but hey.. maybe I can still help if you didn't get them still! I ordered my pair a few weeks ago on a website and received them today. They offer a wide range of options and frames so there's something for everyone and the prices are really good! If you enter your email address, just wait a bit and you will receive good offers from them quite often. I got 55% discount and decided to buy them. Total was 41$, although it's worth mentioning that I live in Croatia so the delivery fee might me slightly less if you are closer to them. I don't think I can post a link for the website here so if you'd like the link, feel free to send me a private message! :)

Yeah, I'm getting these. I'm losing sleep and my eyes hurt while working. Thanks a lot.

Thanks very good video! short and powerfull information.

I was suffering bad with headaches and eye pain and even the swelling in eyes but after I started using blue light glasses I'm all well. It really works.

I just got anti blue light glasses yesterday. Although I never experienced head aches or much eye strain from working on the computer all day, these glasses somehow relieved my eyes instantly. Maybe I just didn't realize my eyes were strained or I just got used to having eye strain all the time. I dunno but I love these new glasses. Not sure if they have UV protection built in or not but they also help my eyes feel better when outside in the sunlight, too.

I appreciate your talking about validity of studies.. I think it's more popular to wear these as a trend right now. Good content. Thanks!

I appreciate that! Thank you. Even in the past few years there have been some studies making large and outrageous claims...but if you read the study you find the study was designed poorly and really doesn't come to any true conclusions.

Thanks for the information

I've been really struggling with eye strain, pain in the back of my eyes and blurred vision lately. My guess is looking at screens too much due to being in isolation. I have ordered some Gunnar glasses for my computer screen as I am unable to see an optician as they aren't running properly. I hope they work out thanks for the tips and help

Many professionals feel the same way, the theories about high energy light causing increased risk/retinal stress is pretty solid.

Thank you, Doctor. I had contusion of both eyes and now spending over 15h in front of the monitor. Thus here, looking for facts about the necessity of those glasses.

Thank you for the video.
