Reddit reviews GAMMA RAY 003 UV Glare Protection Amber Tinted Computer Readers Glasses Anti Harmful Blue Rays in Shatterproof Memory Flex Frame - +0.00 Magnification

If the goal was to reduce intensity they should have used red light. Blue light is much more taxing on the average person's eyes and has been linked to sleep disorders. That's why they make these.

Obviously you wouldn’t want to wear these while color grading, but I have a friend who swears by these tinted glasses for reducing eye strain.

If any of you guys work in front of a computer or under flourescent lights, blue-light filtering glasses are game-changers and I suggest you get some. As nerdy as they'll make you look, it's worth it to reduce eye strain.

I scratched up a pair I've had for 4 years now and for the first time in my life, paid same-day shipping for a new pair since I don't want to go without em.

So I bought a pair on sale for something around 25 dollars because I, like you, thought they were bullshit. I'm an optical engineer who happens to play a boatload of computer games, so I have the methods to test them.

Yes, they filter light out and change the temperature of what you're viewing. Yes, they have an AR coating, which helps to reduce glare a lot.

However, if you don't get them on sale they are ridiculously expensive, and even more so if you need prescription versions. Save yourself the trouble. If you're on your computer, use f.lux. This used to not work great with fullscreen modes and had some issues where it would pop in and out of tint, but the program has made some great strides.

If you game a lot on console/can't be arsed to install and modify f.lux or for whatever reason can't use it, then I highly suggest getting something to help your eyes out. Here's a sample pair from another, much cheaper, company:

There are cheaper options as well, depending on style.

To add to this: I got mine on Amazon for $14.99. I was getting terrible headaches every other day from eye strain. Haven’t had one since. Just make sure the magnification is 0.00x unless you want/need reading glasses.

You can try any / all of these. I put them in order of what I would try first:

1. Ambient light - If you are in a dark room, the bright monitor will strain your eyes. Turn on a lamp or something. I use a dim light behind me when working at night.
   
   
2. The 20-20-20 rule, or something similar. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away, for 20 seconds. Basically, don't just stare at your screen for hours on end.
   
   
3. Something like f.lux, or computer glasses. The harsh blue light from computer screens contributes to eye strain. Cutting out the blue via software (f.lux) or glasses meant for computers helps. Many people don't like this option at first because it screws with your colors, but you'll eventually get used to it. IMO not really re
   
   
4. Artificial Tears - These are special eye drops. These are not Visine or other similar products that get redness out (don't use those, they make things worse), but rather lubricant drops. Something like Systane Ultra, or other "Lubricant Eye Drops" can help your eyes if they are drying out. They're kind of expensive: a small $15 bottle will last 2-6 months or so, depending on how often you use them.

What I was going to say was pick up a pair of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ7KBV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_f45rDbSVX0PXB

I thought my floaters were straining my eyes but it turned out it was my computer and phone. I didn't want to cut back since I use the PC for my job so I just wear these when I'm online or on my phone. It has cut back on my headaches and tense-eye feeling tremendously, plus they're cheap as shit.

The tint on these ones are barely noticeable

I bought some of these just to see if they would make a difference. It took a day to get used to them but Now I wear them literally all day every day. It makes everything so much easier on your eyes. I definitely see a difference when staring at my computer all day and also while I'm driving at night.

Gamma Ray glasses, built like a tank. I do get weird looks when people see me switch between these and my reading glasses for meetings.

I've got a pair of these. They've been good. They alsolook decent, and are well made. $13.

I had this same problem. I found out that it's the bluelight that in the screen and lights that cause this. I bought some bluelight blocking glasses and wear them when I feel some eye strain. My boss uses them too, he calls them a pillow for your eyes lol. These are what I bought http://amzn.to/2eRCvEQ

Mine are ok, but these are cheaper and much more comfortable: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQ7KBV4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You can give them a try. The ones I really want are $200. These help me as long as I'm consistent. Like literally put them on the moment I wake up.

I have these - https://www.amazon.com/Comfortable-Computer-Reducing-Eyestrain-Eyeglasses/dp/B00BQ7KBV4

I love them, they really help a lot with glare and I don't ever get headaches like I used to

I purchased these about 3 months ago. Still using them today and even purchased a pair to use at home. Was getting bags under my eyes prior, these seemed to have made a noticeable difference for me.

It's worth the shock to just know what you're fighting tbh. Here is a pair that I have, they should work for this and are nice to have if you ever have to stare at the computer.

Or these sweet gaming glasses!

Install f.lux and invest in computer glasses. If these do not make it better than its most likely Lasik. I haven't gotten lasik yet but I do have the symptoms you have now and installing f.lux fixed the vision loss.

I switch between glasses and contacts pretty regularly and work using a computer 8 hours a day. I actually have a pair of light yellow tinted perscription glasses specifically for computer and gaming use.

As I do wear contacts too, I bought these from Amazon and they have been great.

I've got a pair of computer glasses from Amazon for $18, they seem to help and I always have them on when I am behind a computer for a long time:

No, I had laser surgery some years ago, but my vision was completely stable for quite a long time before that. I have occasionally worn computer glasses like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ7KBV4/ but I never felt any significant difference at the end of the day.

I've found these to work great https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ7KBV4

Good luck!

I can vouch for these. I had a lot of eyestrain from reading my online text books - these removed it completely.

Try some gamma ray glasses (like these). I think Gunnar glasses are way over priced, so I bought myself a pair of these because my eyes would strain quite a bit while gaming. Now I can actually play a game for over an hour now.
