Great review! I will say I've been using the Gama Ray's for over a year and you're dead on with the smudging!! But..They're really good glasses! You learn not to touch the lenses after you wipe them down. These glasses have all but eliminated my eye strain which lead to dry tired eyes. The frames are OK nothing special and the comfort is really good. They're build quality is actually good. I myself recommend the Gama Rays.

[@J0stik]

great Video ... I need to buy some computer glasses ... working 8 hours and then sitting behind pc next 4 hours ... at end of my day my eyes are red as hell, and have messed up "white ballance" ... right eye can see bit warmer (more red) and left eye can see bit colder (more blue) .... gona take some Gunnar, next day delivery ... thank U and keep on a good work.

[@TXOdle]

Thanks for the videos - nice to have someone do all the research for us :) I am a graphic artist and need a pair, hopefully sub-$100, and need a large frame. You mentioned in one of your videos that Gunnars weren't big enough for you? Is there a brand or frame option you suggest? I was settled on Gunnar until I heard you mention (in another video) that they were too small for you. Thanks in advance!

[@msstacey777]

I purchased the Spektrum glasses from Amazon! They had such positive reviews!! I’ve had issues with eye fatigue and burning after my long 8+ hours per day on computer for work and felt like my regular eyeglasses were not helping. So far so good with my new Spektrum glasses!! I have forgotten that I even have them on and have worn them after work by accident. Spektrum has Prospeck-99 glasses on their website that blocks 99% of all blue light but they have a significant yellow tint. They also have Lumin night driving glasses on their website for $39.95 that I may consider buying. Night driving can be a nightmare for me at times. Thanks for the review 😊

[@EyeInfluence]

Thank you for your feedback and comment. I’m a fan of spektrum now for sure. Have an awesome day!

[@shirleya4510]

Love my Spektrum too from Amazon! The quality of lens is pretty good IMHO. I also forget that I have these on.

Hi! What's your verdict a year later? I just got the exact same model today.

[@getrightgobzz1507]

For everyone who has the J&S they do block 90% but he has the wrong ones.. I have both pairs. The one in the vid is for reading (low) and the the ones that block 90% are for gaming and they do have an amber tint on them. You have to select the correct pair for 90% (HD and they’re only like 5 buck more on amazon) they last about a year had mine for 8months of heavy usage before I saw a real downgrade not too bad imo and I’ve only had the HD ones for a couple days but they seem way better hope this is helpful

[@nguyenhoangsonhai1304]

Hi Oliver, I am nearsighted about 3.75 and I see that the Spektrum does have options for magnification but just at 2.5 or 3 (which is currently not available anymore) at most. I don't know if I should buy a pair of glasses which fits my prescription or I could just buy a none or with little magnification like the Spektrum. Currently I am working with my prescription glasses but the longer I work, the sorer my eyes get and I really want something to improve the situation. I really like the Spektrum but I don't know if they are viable for me since I am nearsighted... Also I can't try them on (since I live in foreign country). Could you please help me to decide? Thanks in advance!

[@EyeInfluence]

Because of your nearsightedness you’ll have to have glasses made and not use the pre-made glasses like those by spectrum. Felix Gray makes good computer glasses and so does Gunnar. Either that or get a set of glasses made from your doctors office. Looking into Eyezen lenses with Shamir Blue Zero coating. Hope this helps. :)

[@furiousphoenix7526]

Hey man great videos. I watched most of your videos and they educated me a lot. I’m liking the felixgray but they don’t have my size. My size is 55-17-140 what do you recommend since felixgray does not go up to my size. I’m more interested in the computer glasses. Please advise thank you so much.

[@EyeInfluence]

The Gunnar Intercept is a frame that fit my big head just fine. I wear it in the Gunnar review video I did. Thank you for the support!

Eye Influence thank you for responding. What do you think of the gunnar RIOT 57-16-140 please advise

[@furiousphoenix7526]

Eye Influence one more question...if I go for either one of them. Are the lens tint crucial? We have choices if “liquet, crystalline, amber and work-play” both of these glasses “intercept & Riot” have those lens options. What’s your recommendation with that. Thank you so much for helping me. Btw I subbed you’re awesome at this!!!

[@eugeniucojocaru2099]

Hi! I wish to buy a pair of computer glasses, beacuse I have really sensitive eyes, and I really want to thank you for the information you gave me through you videos. I only have one question: can you please look up Arozzi Visione VX-600 glasses and tell me if it is good for my health or should I buy a Gunner pair of glasses. Thank you very much! Hope to see you at 1 M subs :)

[@EyeInfluence]

Thank you for the info. I looked them up and the glasses look awesome. They have lenses that are better for gaming so that's why they have a more noticeable amber tint. As long as you don't need color accuracy then these should be fine. If you want a lens that a true computer glass then go for Gunnar or Felix Gray. They are more expensive but they offer lenses with less color and a slight magnification to help reduce eye fatigue. Hope that info helps! Thanks for the comment and let me know if you have any other questions.

[@DevourXNation]

Hey man so would you say j+s glasses are the best glasses for gaming or are there a better type??

[@EyeInfluence]

Gunnar is the best. They’ve been making gaming glasses for years. I’d recommend them. ;)

[@TeaWithDanielle]

Speaking of cleaning lenses, my regular Rx glasses set smudged frequently. I found using the provided lens wipe just smeared dirt around and then got dirty itself. I have since been cleaning them under the faucet with dish detergent. Is that bad? Am I ruining my lenses? What is the best way to clean them?

[@EyeInfluence]

That's the best way to clean them. Just a bit of dish soap on your fingers breaks down the oils from eyelashes, lotion and fingerprints. As for the cloth, it may be saturated with oils so throwing it in the wash with your kitchen towels could help.

[@DirtNassty]

I have owned and worn the j&s for almost 2 years now absolutely love them they are exteeeeemwly comfortable I honestly forget they're even on my head! I'm not very careful with them either and they still look and feel exactly like they did the say I opened them! Worth every penny of 25 bucks I paid for them

[@johnettaqueen2764]

do you find that you're sleeping better because of less blue light? That's what I need! Lol

[@DirtNassty]

@@johnettaqueen2764 I honestly don't know if I'm sleeping better or not... One thing I reallly have noticed is that on days and nights when I wear them my eyes are actuslly tired and alot easier to lay down and go to sleep soon after getting off my pc... When I don't wear them Im "wired" for alot longer after going to lay down right after getting off the screen... So I would say they def make it easier for me to get to sleep sooner... Which I guess probably leads to better sleep!?!...

[@suly4346]

Are you able to do actual tests on different computer glasses/blue light filter glasses to see how much they actually reduce blue light compared to what they claim

[@EyeInfluence]

The equipment needed for that is quite expensive. Maybe as the channel grows we can invest in that.

[@rosieran6106]

Hi Sir, thank for your review. Can you please tell me what is the best glasses on the market cause I have serious fatigue problem with my eyes and it might come from hours on the computer so i won't care about the price. I just need the best glasses. Can you help me?

[@EyeInfluence]

First I would suggest getting an eye exam. 1 in 6 people need corrective glasses. If you end up being 20/20 then I’d start with a set of Felix grey with magnification or Gunnar’s. They aren’t super expensive and they are great quality. Blue light alone isn’t your problem. Try to rest your eyes every 20 minutes for at least a few seconds. Do that for a solid week and I’m sure you’ll start to se positive results.

[@rosieran6106]

@@EyeInfluence i have 0.5 correction already and very dry eye but in my country they dont recognize really the blue light/computer problem but they do prescribe anti blue light glasses. I will get a gunnar glasses. Thank you for your help 😊

[@kyled5724]

In one of your other videos I thought you explained the difference between blue light filtering glasses and computer glasses. Since computer glasses have magnification and these do not, would they not just be considered standard blue light filtering glasses?

[@EyeInfluence]

If we get really technical, yes, computer glasses have power in the lenses. The way blue light glasses are promoted it is more common for consumers to call them computer glasses. In order to reduce confusion, I call both computer glasses but I make it clear in the video that they are actually blue light filtering glasses.

[@Fawad-Khann]

You look like Jaby Koay! 😁😁

[@thenoodlepirate]

Hey Oliver, thank you so much for your videos. They are most helpful! I wanted to ask what your opinion would be on the Barner Computer Glasses. They are currently crowdfunding for their second edition of computer glasses. Their first release seems to have done well and fetched some good reviews. Link to their current campaign can be found here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/edugaya/barner-20-the-ultimate-computer-glasses/updates I am working at a computer all day and have developed eye strain and a little bit of dryness, so I'm looking for a solution for everyday use. I too tried out the Flux program but I'm not an avid fan of the tint as it interferes with the true monitor colour when I'm painting. What drew me to the Barner brand specifically was the design/colour range and sunglasses clip-on option as well as the lack of obvious yellow tint. As you've mentioned about other brands, Barner also doesn't talk about magnificaiton and I don't know how to find out if they have it or not. Thank you for your time, Toni

[@EyeInfluence]

There are a lot of companies popping up but much like most of them, Barner is simply blocking blue light and that just isn’t enough. It’s great and all but upon reading their description they say that Computer vision syndrome can lead to Macular Degeneration and that is simply not true and there is absolutely no data to prove it. Once I saw that I knew that they were nothing more than another blue light blocking option. Their frames are cool looking but I wouldn’t expect their lenses to do more than a spektrum, j+s vision or other inexpensive options. They don’t mention magnification so I doubt they will offer it right away. If your in need of good computer glasses with little color get Felix Gray or Gunnar with Crystalline lenses. That’s the best choice. Hope this helps.

[@thenoodlepirate]

Thanks so much for your advice!

[@EyeInfluence]

Spectrum Pro should fit fine. I have a big head and it works. The wealthy Shades square shape WS05) also fit my big head just fine. You can find that on amazon for under $25. More costly options like those from Felix Gray are great but more expensive.

I don't know where they itch but they leave a mark on my forehead

[@Csikter]

I bought the gammarays, and personally think that it's crap. One lens blocks blue, the other purple. Also, shouldn't the lenses circle around your complete eye sight, or shouldn't the glasses somehow close off the sides? I'm asking because the lenses aren't blocking from just one side, but both. Which means the light that is coming in from the sides and rear are also being filtered, and the blue light is now concentrated from the cambered lenses and being shot straight into your eyes. So whats the point of these "normal" shaped glasses? The only scenario where these would work is in a pitch black room.

[@EyeInfluence]

You get what you pay for with the Gammarays. As for the side and back exposure, you shouldn't worry much about that. Unless you are surrounded by monitors, all set to the brightest setting, the main concern will be the light coming the from device in front of you. If you're outside then you should be wearing sunglasses.

[@Csikter]

@@EyeInfluence a window is right behind me when I'm sitting in front of my computer, and I noticed after 15 minutes that my eyes are just as stressed (if not more) with the glasses than without them. This when the idea of the ambient light came to me.

No. Gunnar is a much higher quality.

[@EyeInfluence]

It you're gaming on a TV and sitting more than 5 ft away then any blue light glasses would work. If you are gaming on a PC and sitting just about 2 feet away then glasses by Gunnar are great because they have a little power in the lens. Hope this helps.

[@miked7923]

Maybe 90% towards the UV range but with those but will slope towards 40-50%at actual blue range. It's technically not false advertising but is misleading

[@EyeInfluence]

Yes. Many of the lower end manufacturers don’t specify what specific range of the spectrum they are targeting.

[@SVC96]

Why this glasses yellow

[@EyeInfluence]

The lenses are tinted that way to cut down on the blue light. Pretty soon lenses will not have that color. Blue light filtering is advancing to the point where the lenses are virtually colorless. You can find them already with companies like Felix Gray, Pixel and Gunnar (to name a few). The lower cost glasses will be like that for a couple more years though.
