How To Pick The BEST BLUE LIGHT GLASSES // Eye Doc Explains Anti Blue Light Glasses

[@dylansylvan6398]

I used to go walking at night under amber street lights which was very peaceful and calming, then the town put in LEDs. As soon as I got near to one, my calm went and was replaced by a feeling of agitation, annoyance, and almost an angry feeling. I think these high doses of artificial blue light are making people wacked out. Would we have all this drama if we all still lived by candle light?

[@DrEyeGuy]

Hmm... that's actually really interesting to think about.

[@homelander613]

Same wht glasses do u walk around with thinking I should get the most blue light protection think those are the orange

[@AdrianLucid]

@@homelander613 I have those orange/amber ones that block 99.9% of blue light and I know they do because when I look at my blue LED bulb, I can't see the light, it's invisible. The only problem with these glasses is that the world around you is literally orange in colour so you have to compromise between how much protection you want versus how much colour you want to see, so the yellow ones are the perfect sweet spot for me

[@life2essence]

Thank you for your video. I'm 70 and had lasic eye surgery 20 years ago. Ever since, I've been very sensitive to bright lights, either fluorescents, LEDs, and all screens. I've worn tinted reading glasses and blue blocker glasses when watching TV/movies. They help tremendously, but now looking at getting better quality glasses like Gunnar.

I bought my brother in law and myself one. He's going to the IT department being surrounded by computers and I'm a heavy gamer. The brand i bought was Gunnar and the percentage was 65 percent. So far so good. It actually helped me sleep and as my for my brother in law, he's not feeling the eye strain or fatigue.

[@ElNachoMacho]

I think it's also worth mentioning that for filtering blue light most operating systems now support controlling and setting schedules for filtering blue light. In Windows it's called "Night light" in your system settings. Pixel/Android phones have this feature as well.

[@DrEyeGuy]

Thanks! Awesome comment!

[@Pfromm007]

Would be interesting to know what settings for those features are best.

[@marvinrockon]

@@Pfromm007 Hi there. Anything helps. It's a reduction of the side effects we want to prevent after all. On some devices, you can determine the intensity. So for example, if you're gaming or watch movies, you probably don't want to block all of the blue light, but when working in an office, you can go wild with it, because there isn't much your word, excel or whatever, is needing here.

[@jacquescote8469]

Very interesting. Many hours on my iPad following lessons on different subjects. However , I am now more sensitive to the LED lights on the streets at night (new light posts) and those coming from cars. Thank you for the great information. I will see my eye doctor next month and be requesting eye classes with blue light and anti reflection protection.

[@dantevega2115]

Another thing to take into consideration is with the rise of people on the road with newer cars or vehicles LED lights are a standard and many people upgrade to LED headlights. the problem with that is the LED generates blue light. Bluelight can also cause headache or migranes. So you may want to get Anti-Bluelight glasses if you are driving a lot when it's dark.

[@jotch_7627]

the problem is actually much simpler: they are too bright. the blue has nothing to do with it. if blue light was meaningfully harmful to us, we would have quickly evolved to avoid seeing it, what with the entire sky being blue and all.

[@dutyofcall7659]

Integrated blue light filters in my regular glasses were a blessing and curse. It really helped with my eyes but i felt tired all the time because i wore the filter 24/7 but you need blue light to wake up in the morning.

Thank you ever so much for undertaking this research and offering your invaluable insights. I actually purchased one for my sister from Ocushield, and they have been brilliant, particularly in terms of quality. Not only that, she used to experience migraines and headaches previously. However, since she started using them, they have almost disappeared. I conversed with the customer service, and they also provided the test results and reports, which were fantastic. It all revolved around the light spectrum and the quantity of blue light that is presently blocked.

[@liamlogan669]

I just bought some blue blocking glasses from a company my doctor recommended. From what I understand about the "blue light" harm is that you need many different wavelengths of light to function but higher amounts of blue light at night can make you stay awake because blue light intensity in the morning is higher and it triggers your body's circadian rythm. But there is more red light at night which promotes sleep. Artificial lights emit blue light and may disrupt the sleep cycle unintentionally.

[@aimokan]

Thank you for this video - bought a pair straight away!

[@resilientfarmsanddesignstu1702]

If you are working on the computer a lot as I do, the best way to block the blue light is at the source - the computer screen! You can easily do that, either by specifying what colors will be displayed or by adding a film to the screen. I, for example, write in a red colored font. After I’m done, I change the color to what I want, possibly even blue. I like blue. Hope that helps. 😎

I realize that majority of people that are interested in these type of lenses are people That are in front of their computer screen all day or use their phones a lot, But there's another segment you missed and that's people that drive and have sensitivity to glare associated with headlights, as well as blue light. I'm looking for the best solution for driving to sharpen my eyesight I have bad vision in one eye and I find it hard to drive at night sometimes because of glare and fatigue could you recommend something that would sharpen vision while driving I love those blublockers I'm thinking about getting them. I have a pair of yellow lenses which help but they strain my eyes when I first start using them then my eyes adjust. But yeah night driving glare ETC. Side note remember that blublockers commercial hahaha!

[@TechWellness]

This is great! Thanks for doing this. I started selling and recommending anti-bluelight glasses in 2015. I buy and try all and have found through the years that more and more "good" brands are standing by the claims of the "blocking ability" I've had 20 different brands tested by a military grade optics lab for Transmittance and Optical Density. The one's I sell are just $15.00 AND- I would like your comment on this: They are wrap types to Block the light that comes from the top and sides. For me, that's super important. Also- I can't stand the red color- I can't see in the dark(!) I found a Green color that's so incredibly pleasant and blocks 100% of 460- which the latest research is the most important wavelength and 99% of 400nm to 500nm. You're tips are great. Check out the newer research that's honing in on more benefits. Be Well! August
