Something to note... if you need reading *and* distance lenses (but hate varifocal, like myself) its worth getting your opticians to do a third prescription for your monitor/desk setup (and really with a complete set of glasses and lenses for circa 19 quid at a well known chain its not a huge expense; obviously with no additional coatings etc.). I tend to have my monitor close to the back of the desk and like to lean back in my chair, so at least an arm and a bit's distance away where as my reading tends to be a forearms distance and that can be enough of a prescription difference to be worth it. What I used to do was use my previous prescriptions reading glasses (slightly weaker) for the monitor work, and my new one for reading (bit stronger, at the rate I'm going its going to be bottle glasses by the time I reach my 60's :-P ) but that no longer cuts it. You will need to explain it to them, and also have some kind of measure to take with you (honestly I took an extending tape measure) to get it just right, as its not something they do by default so judging the printing card read can be a bit awkward. Just something to think about if you find your dual prescription doesn't quite cut it so you end up leaning forward and peering at the monitor like Mr Magoo.

I think for you in this case glasses that are made for a focus point at monitor distance is way more important for eye strain than the blue light filter. Possibly for a better comparison, you should try to use untinted computer glasses. I have a feeling that outside of plasebo that is the more important factor here.
@MyouKyuubi4 жыл бұрын
It's not a placebo, dude... wtf... Anyone with basic knowledge of how colors work, understand the importance of the tint on the glasses, simply by looking at them... The reason it's a weak amber color, is because the glasses themselves absorb a particular spectrum of colors, and reflect everything else... As an example, your car is green, because it absorbs all color spectrums except the green one, which it reflects back out, into your eye, making you see green, because it's the green spectrum it didn't absorb. That's why your pupils are black, btw, because they absorb all humanly visible spectrums of light, which allows you to SEE. :P That's why the amber lenses are yellow/orange, depending on their tint strength, because they are absorbing the blue light, and reflecting everything else.... Making you see yellow/orange, the opposite color of blue. xD The tint absorbs a wide portion of the bluelight spectrum, protecting your eyes from it... the bluelight protective coating, takes care of a different range of bluelight spectrum, for a Bluelight Protection Factor (BLPF) of roughly 65%. That's the BLPF of the standard amber glasses from gunnar btw, the yellow-ish ones? BLPF of 65%... The clear glasses only have a BLPF of 35%... Max Amber lenses have a BLPF of 98%.

2 details you are missing out here... 1. The non prescription glasses have very slight magnification on the lenses. It's not all that great for people, that really don't need any magnification. It took me a couple week to adapt to that. 2. You have the plastic frames ones, but there are models with titanium frames and for what is worth - they are really good frames. My personal experience with them is beyond meh. I have the Crystaline Onyx model with titanium frames and to be fair, I see no difference with or without them. I have gone through a periods of prolonged usage of them and a periods of no usage just to see if there will be any difference. Nothing. Yes, I'm using the clear lenses, but still there should be at least a little bit of change. There is nothing, other than the magniffication discomfort.

@@KitGuruTech Reviewers getting review samples from manufacturers is widely accepted for the reasons you allude to. Having a close relationship (making video content directly for their channel for example) with one specific /retailer/ is a bit different. Product reviews typically happen vaguely around the time the product enters the market as a service to consumers - "You may see this on a shelf near you soon so here is some advice on whether you might want to/not want to buy it". It /feels/ like this review only happened because Overclockers stock them, are struggling to sell them, and want to raise awareness. Assuming the review was honest which I am not refuting, it still achieved the goal of bringing attention to an obscure product not widely stocked but readily available from Overclockers.co.uk I LIKE Overclockers but I still feel your relationship with them is relevant context for this review.

I personally never had issues with eyestrain, the only times I get it is when I forget to turn on the light in my room. Really turning on the lights early and making sure your room lights are bright enough does make a big difference. Even using my phone in bed I always make sure to at least turn on the night light. I also make sure the brightness of the screen itself is set correctly. To me other options such as blue light filters or dark themes are just a bad method of combating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Digital eye strain are relieved by proper blue light blockers. absolutely. But not Gunnar. I've had two pairs from Gunnar optiks over the years. Plenty of time between for them to improve. But this brand must be the best in it's kind of collecting glare. They've got the concept right for sure. But you're taking in so much glare from bouncing light around you, that you might as well keep a 360 mirror and strobe light by your side. It has the same effect for relaxing your eyes. Gunnar optiks so-called gaming glasses are so full of marketing talk, that you really really want to get a pair for their promising words. And then you'll just get properly annoyed after you do the purchase. I'm so disappointed.
