Do you use blue light glasses??

[clover12]

To prevent burning out my eyes using computers and my precious Circadian Rhythm...

What do you use, glasses, applications?  Special computer screens or what??

[UserU]

I don't use any special glasses, but this free program F.lux does the job well; all you have to do is download and install.

It adjusts the color temperature of your screen throughout the day (you can adjust). You might take a while to adjust to the temperature changes but trust me, it's something I can't recommend highly enough!

I do not use any of the above,as I do not have any issues with looking at the screen of my computer for a while,there are special apps that aid you to protect your eyes from the screen of the system,and you can search online for them,as it'll be helpful to you.

I exercise my eye muscles by holding my hands in front of my face with the fingers slightly apart. I then move them rapidly through a range of about 6 inches whilst looking at a light source.

The sleeping has gone out of the window since I got involved with the Cryptocurrency

Is that better than moving your head to see things around you from time to time? Tho in a work cubicle that might be a nice trick...

I wouldn't use a "blue light" filtering lens as that would probably affect the color gamut of things...

I think they are actually red-light apps. The red drowns out the blue-light.

Think of how military uses red lights outside  at night to be not detected.

Anybody else have some info on this?

No, that's infrared, same thing security cameras use, you see the light in the monitor but not with your eyes.

The military does use true red lamps for lightning in some (emergency) situations, but that is meant to make it quick for the eye to adjust to total darkness. If you go from white light suddenly to dark, you see nothing for a minute or so, but if you instead of bright go from reddish dim light to dark, you get to see things faster.

Imagine you are under attack at night and your facility suddenly loses power, then you'll be a minute in blindness, enough for a tactical team to pwn you... And that is also the idea behind flash grenades (usually also accompanied by a deafening bang sound that leaves your ears ringing and hearing nothing for a minute or so as well).

I was just thinking about this today. I'm usually around 10 hours in front of the PC working or playing games and never thought of using glasses. Recently I started having headaches and eye burning, I think these are the indicators that I need to wear some screen protection glasses.

[glideordinal]

Is there any science behind these glasses. I have never tried them but they seem like just a quick way to earn a buck from companies?

[atomium]

I do have friends that use these glasses but I never have, I have already formed a habit that after an hour being online working I go out and walk for 15 mins. It not only helps with my eyesight but refreshing my mind and stretching out my legs, I come back energized to keep working hard.

No it's just red light nothing special.  The local astronomy group of telescope people use red lights at night so their pupils do not dialate.

If you guys want to make some bucks, let's build a computer screen similar to Kindle, you know how it does not burn your eyes? That is the future.

After using contact lenses for over a decade I decided to switch to glasses. There was an option to add blue light filters to the glasses. And after using the glasses for over half a year now, I can say that it is very effective, since the screen time is such a large chunk of the day. I am less tired and it is slightly easier for the eyes. In the end it was a good investment.

In order not to spoil the eyes you need, you must not forget to blink your eyes, and not look at one point. Most often this causes all eye problems.

I use several monitors on the table, and I must admit that it is even better for the eyes. When you use some monitors, you do not look to one side, but always rotate your head, your eyes do not stagnate as a result.

Thanks for the responses. I will look into the glasses.

Instead of glasses, is there just a simple translucent blue light screen shield to put over laptops?

[valeras19]

Yes i do. I can't stand long enough in front of my laptop without my glasses. Once i  didn't wear it and instantly got dizzy

[clover12]

what brand or model glasses did you buy? How much?
