Introduction: post mTBI severe photosensitivity to blue LED

DisplaysShouldNotBeTVs
That's actually something I noticed too! It almost seems without them I have to scan my eyes around to see/find something. When I would wear them I can just notice things right away and it seemed to improve my memory tbh. I'll have to go back and get my colors updated! I think my best pair was the aqua blue only pair. I think frames with bigger lenses could be wonderful. So for your up close/computer pair it's just the color filter without corrections right ?

Btw they do offer filtering for hard contacts too btw.

Edit: also to those reading these messages, everyone is different so even though blue is good for me and the other color is good for him.. you might still benefit from another color like pink or rose colored for example, never know until you get screened.

DisplaysShouldNotBeTVs I tried a few lenses at the optician, as well as some sunglasses, and yellow makes natural whites insanely intense for me. Probably because they activate both types of receptors. With yellow lenses I get the same feel like I do when I've pushed things far enough for all visual symptoms to appear, where for example looking at white snow is extremely painful and the whiteness seems out of this world. Didn't experiment much with colored glasses and screens tho. Just remember that I used contacts with a slight green tint (Acuvue Oasys Max) before things went to shit as well.

I've seen some reports that there are differences in polarization on the different RGB pixels on some screens, so you could try experimenting with some polarized lens and rotating them to see if that brings some clarity into what the difference is. And spectrometer would be interesting, but those are horribly expensive.

And as far as I can understand, do remember that RGB screens can't for example output the wavelength for yellow, as it will simply trick our brain by blasting combinations that are interpreted as yellow. Apart from the backlight where there a wider spectrum, but probably super heavy in blue.

So with a natural yellow you would have a wavelength that by itself activates both types of receptors, while with the machine one you would have two wavelengths that are imitating yellow.

Also these glasses doesn't change the wavelengths in any way, and simply blocks specific ones. I would guess that a pure blue (yellow blocking) would block natural yellow, but that the one from a computer screen would pass right thru.

Took some quick pics to compare how polarization affects M1 max vs Mateview 28".

jordan talked quite a bit with support at Huawei. It's 8. Currently testing 6 bit on that image. I have 3 of them and 2 are shit. Tbh i don't know why, and I barely use it.

async yellow makes natural whites insanely intense for me

yellow of normal color tinted lenses is very different from irlen yellow which very precisely filters light spectrum and there's like 9 different variations of irlen yellow my specialist had me try that honestly all of them made me feel entirely different from the next lol

also irlen greenish+yellow on mine is not strong yellow it all, it kinda looks like night shift was turned on halfway and then a slight green is added to it perceptually

in the past i had more "standard" color tinted blue light blocking on my prescription glasses that actually looked very perceptually similar, but it didn't have any of the really really noticeable depth processing, movement coordination, and flicker sensitivity reduction benefits of my irlen custom tinted lenses

total difference in how they are made and what they're actually doing with light vs. just regular color tints that probably distort light spectrum in a much less consistent way

with standard blue blocking lenses i never felt much of a difference from regular vision other than "some colors look more vivid" and "things are a bit more relaxing"

with very perceptually similar irlen lenses — even coming from the standpoint of honestly not really believing the hype at first — the moment i went outside with my specialist halfway through the selection process it was an absolute "oh my god i have not seen the world look quite this way in 15 years i didn't know things are supposed to look this 3D and this large all in my field of vision at once" moment

i really didn't believe at first that this would even be possible through purely a "really well calibrated color filter", but somehow it is and i was seeing the proof firsthand right in front of me

finally, only irlen custom tinted lenses have actually significantly affected the feel and improved the comfort of OLED iPhones for me, no other glasses or color filters have ever done that for me

by the way, irlen custom tinted lenses >>>>>>>>> neurolens. irlen is so much better, source: tried both

don't expect screen improvements with them though aside from OLED phones (because they really help with PWM sensitivity, they actually make my iPhone 14 Pro usable) and really surprisingly the M1 MacBook Air that actually does improve while wearing irlen lenses

a lot of the benefits are more for rooms with flickering lightbulbs, HUGE improvement in depth perception in the real world, staying coordinated in large crowds, outdoors looks and feels awesome, bright sunlight isn't tiring anymore even though sunlight still appears "perceptually" just as bright with them on —

not so much laptop screens and monitors though. if a screen dithers it will still suck with irlen lenses. if a screen PWMs it can be improved, but might have significantly more glare which can sometimes end up being worse than whatever it improves

but, i still have no idea why, the one screen it DOES improve is the M1 MacBook Air, i don't feel ANY additional glare and it's more comfortable with my lenses on (on the other hand, no other Mac or Windows laptop i own is improved with irlen lenses for me, even others with succesfuly disabled dithering)
