Anyone had any success with blue-light blocking computer glasses? Many reviews on Amazon claim good results.

For example, like these: https://www.amazon.ca/Premium-Computer-Exquisite-Rectangle-Anti-Glare/dp/B09KXXHJ2X/

Says one, "The glasses are working well and no strain in the eyes right now."

A more expensive version: https://www.amazon.ca/Optiks-RIO-00109-Computer-Anti-Glare-Headaches/dp/B00JKWVCKG/ref=sr_1_9?crid=12DIDKRTBU27U

The first ones are especially low cost and may be worth buying and returning if they don't work as advertised.

I am interested in your thoughts and experiences.

I didn't buy glasses, but I bought a blue light filter that covered the entire screen and I unfortunately had no success with it. But if someone can try it for cheap or at no costs, it's worth a try in my opinion, at the very least for testing whether blue light might be a factor in causing someone eye strain.

I've tried "blue light glasses" that looked fully transparent (i.e. not yellow or orange), they just had a blue glint when you looked at them at some angle. They didnt help me at all.

I also tried the real deal - yellow (80% blueblocking) and orange (99.9% blueblocking) glasses. Both gave me a minor relief (say 15%) but not any more than my software blueblocking filter ("Lightbulb").

I've tried dozens. Ones that 100% work (incredibly so - I wish they made screen protectors)

Are Ra Optics red glasses (night version). have multiple pairs. Orange ones are decent but I think red even better.

    What about Avulux glasses?

    Quad43 Do you know how Ra Optics glasses differ to Theraspecs's? Aren't they both using an FL-41 tint?

        I've tried a few different kinds of tinted glasses. Gunnars, 3m yellow safety glasses, uvex amber, uvex sct orange, the dewalt red laser glasses. And interestingly my maui jim neutral grey sunglasses overall seem to do the best at reducing eyestrain.

          chahahc I also strongly prefer neutral grey tint and find it reduces strain a bit. Yellow-orange tints increase my strain. FL-41 strongly increases my strain. I still need to try Avulux though.

              AGI Unsure. I use RA every evening and they're brilliant. Usually I feel tension in head/forehead. With these I can use unlimited and zero attention at all.

                  It seems to me like it's not really the color of the light that's the main culprit. The maui jims let the entire light spectrum in vs the tinted sunglasses but it makes the images less glare-ish and harsh, and makes the monitor easer to focus on by somehow kind of "flattening" the image. But like you it just somewhat reduces the symptoms.

                  Can I ask you a question since you're probably one of the only people right now who has both a pair of maui jims and an SVD RLCD monitor. Are the contents on the monitor (in normal landscape orientation) viewable while wearing the maui jims? Or do you have to tilt your head 90 degrees to see an image?

                      I sometimes flatten the image with windowskey-ctrl-c. I have the colour filter defined to greyscale for that one. If you need it warmer, you can also use night light.

                      chahahc My neutral grey tinted glasses are prescription, and not the maui jims.

                          Oh I see. I was just wondering if the screen has some sort of polarization to it like normal lcd screens, and if it's vertically or horizontally polarized. Sunglasses are vertically polarized to block environmental reflective glare that's usually horizontally polarized so you can use them to tell the orientation of polarization. In my experience IPS panels seem to be more often vertically polarized whereas VA panels seem to be more often horizontal, thus unviewable through sunglasses. Interestingly the LG c1(?) OLED TVs I saw at costco were vertically polarized for the 65" model and horizontally polarized for the 55" model.

                            Quad43 those glasses are extremely overpriced. Are the lenses at least glass? No different than uvex imo.

                              This is a good round-up (with spectrometer test) of good blue-light blocking glasses that work!

                              Hope it helps anyone out!

                              Enrico Eyewear is known for its stylish and high-quality glasses, but the true magic lies within the lenses. These carefully crafted pieces of glass bend light in precise ways to correct vision problems and provide clear, comfortable sight.

                              Tried tons, very limited success. Gunnar, Migralenses, Crizal coatings, Irlen coating, BluBlockers, etc etc.

                              I use RAoptics daily. Always works even on phone
