Does anyone have first-hand experience with blue light filter glasses for sitting in front of computer screens? I hear plenty of people swearing by them. Since I don't have any issues with screens myself (well, not that I know of so far), I cannot really believe that they would improve my screen time. But nearly all claim that they cannot go back anymore.
yeah I have them. I started with a cheap pair (plastic) from department store. I think cost was $7. they tone down the glare. I will often get sore eyes from screens. I liked it so much I had them put the tint onto my usual prescription glasses. the bright white screen turns slightly yellow. we can probably organize to send you a cheap pair to try.
@lyse oh I see Amazon.com have them really cheap. I think it’s worth trying!
Thank you for your insight, @kt84! Do you recall, after roughly how much screen time did your eyes get sore without these glasses? Was it within a few minutes, an hour, multiple hours? Yeah, don't worry sending parcels over from Australia to Germany. :-)
@lyse probably closer to the hour mark. I also forget to blink so my eyes get sore from being dry. I think it’s especially good at night time.
@kt84 I see. I remembered that my sunglasses came with some yellow-orange tinted replacement glasses. I tried them for several hours during night time now as an experiment. Right away I noticed some tiny reflections, coming from my monitor I reckon. After wearing them for some time and lifting them up again, the screen always looked very blue. ;-) Sometimes I thought it felt a wee bit nicer, other times it just felt weird. So, not sure yet, if I like them or not. Actual blue light filtering screen glasses do work nicer, I'm sure. Tomorrow at day time I will continue this experiment.
@lyse My glasses have a blue light filter thingy as well. I don’t notice any difference whatsoever. 🤨 My other pair of glasses does not have such a filter and they just feel the same. 🤷

@lyse The lady who sold me the glasses actually talked me into it. „Das ist wie Hausschuhe für die Augen!“ 😅 I didn’t want to have that filter initially because I didn’t notice any problems so for. But, like you, many other people said that it’s awesome, so I gave it a shot. Wasn’t expensive, either. But, dunno, neither does it look different, nor does it feel different … (Sure, maybe they conned me and there’s no such filter in my glasses at all … I don’t know.)

@movq Thank you! Or both your glasses have one. :-D
I had to stop my experiment at daylight today. Couldn't stand wearing these glasses. It just felt too dark and strange in general. Let's see what other people report. Probably have to ask a mate to borrow his for a day and see.
