NK402Blue Blocker Glasses
Has anyone used these and noticed any results? My wife bought me a pair telling me it would reduce eye strain using my tablet or phone. I see no difference. I said it's like buying those whistles only a dog can hear. How do you know if the thing is working if only a dog can hear it?

konata88I have blue blocker as indicated by the reflected tint.
I'm not sure if it's beneficial though. Certainly not at a daily level that I can detect - perhaps it's a long term thing.
It's just part of the premium AR coating I get; blue block is included. Not sure I would pay extra for it.

Only reason I had heard of them is I have a acquaintance who her and her sister have every disease known to women's magazines (i.e. seemingly every disease they read about in a superficial magazine is what ails them). She read an article about hypersensitivity to light and of course ran out purchased blue blocker glasses, demanded her employer switch from flourescent to LED lighting, etc.

Prefontaine“Blue light” glasses are being heavily promoted in the gaming space (video games) to reduce eye strain and help with sleep. I have a pair. Nothing fancy. $40 off of Amazon. I work on screens all day, up to 14 hours a day. Jury is out for me so far. But I’m in the “testing” phase with them.

SigJacketTl;dr: worked to an extent, but not necessarily amazing.
I have some in reading glasses form. They do work a bit as I stare at a work laptop all day. But, they also altered colors. White walls became sepia toned, for example. While reading text, the color didn’t matter. I didnt use them after work.
They were on the heavier side. Found some lighter weight cheaters for more comfort, sans blue blocker filter.
