bendable"Special" eyewear for use when viewing TV and computer screens
Supposed to prevent harmful something or other .
I don't know what to Google.
Some even use them to use while cell phone use.
What is Ken talking about.
Had to do with color separation .
Is this a real thing to prevent harmful exposure of some sort ?

Lefty SigRemember Blu-Blockers from the 80's? So ahead of its time....
The whole issue of blue light from phones affecting sleeping is overblown, though.

Yes. Modern smartphones have a "night mode" (or similarly titled) setting that reduces blue light output. You can either turn it on/off manually, or set a schedule where it automatically turns on at X time in the evenings and then off at Y time in the morning.

I'm not her, but I got blue light lenses on my regular Oakleys and it's worked wonders and cut down on a lot of my light related headaches at work. They were definitely worth the extra cost.

SigJacketI used some cheap blue-light blocking readers for work, since I stare at monitors all day.
Reduced eye strain? Yes, they felt better at the end of the day. I didnt really have headaches to start with.
Give everything a sepia tone? Also yes. But, they were cheap glasses from Amazon, better might be out there.

armoredI bought some Computer glasses that have a blue tint and are +.5x on Amazon.
They work great for the computer screen and for shooting. The +.5 slight magnification brings my front sight into focus without putting the rear sight and target completely out of focus.
