Many of us are feeling the strain on our eyes from staring at our smartphones and computer screens all day. But some of Canada's largest optical chains are selling you a solution experts say you don't need: lenses that protect our eyes from the blue light emitted from our devices. Leading experts tell Marketplace some of Canada's top chains seem to be using "misleading" claims to sell the lenses.

@vorpal120 3 года назад

Me too and I'm slightly cross-eyed. IMO, the 20-20 rule is the solution but keep in mind it isn't just for computer screen not blinking for a while. If your eye muscle are strained it is hard to refocus (compensate) after staring at a phone screen for hours in bed at a near focal point. My prescription glasses for my computer work indoors is tinted red for strain and has a prism lens to correct vision. I can only use class 3 polarized sunglasses outside to prevent headaches. This doc talking about the blue light affecting sleep is correct but putting the phone in night mode for sleep is out of his lane and simply bad advice. Sleep psychologist and experts will always say that the the bed is only for sleep and intimacy and when it is time to sleep no electronics and no distractions. Phones, TVs, reading, gambling, etc all keep your mind busy when you should be winding down. IMO, fix your sleep, take a break while you work, and fix your prescription are the best ways to help with headaches and preserve your eye muscles long into the future so you don't need thick glasses to help you see.

@StringerNews1 2 года назад

I'm also a migraine sufferer, and also have photosensitivity associated with migraine. If you think that blue light is causing pain that other colors don't, that's a mental issue, not a physiological one. I'll be the first to admit that overuse of those baby blue LEDs is obnoxious and aesthetically offensive, but they're not pain-inducing. Brightness is a factor, but not color. Needless to say, you shouldn't look directly at the sun.

There are no concrete studies yet that blue light causes damage to retina or any part of the eye. However, there are many anecdotes from the patients themselves that they feel less tired when using this kind of lens versus ordinary lenses. And patients who had this want to have the same lens because there is "satisfaction" when they wear it. Also, patients who are very sensitive to glare that even AR coat is not enough can benefit with this kind of lens.

20-20-20 rule is not exclusively for electronic devices and screens, but for near work (reading, studying, watching details, TV, ...). It has to do with the acomodative system of the eye. When you are focusing near things your eye muscles are working to get the lens more tight. Plus, as you have heard, your blinking rate decreases. But teoretically this would apply the same for reading a book and for online courses. Same eye straing and dryness, same eye stress. You dont fix that with colour filters.

With LCD displays the crystals in the pixels block it, in lenses it's probably some sort of polarization. However in OLED displays the display actually reduces the true emitted blue light, since it doesn't have a backlight at all, but instead each pixel has their own RBG LEDs. In any case, the emitted blue light doesn't matter, cause the light hitting your retina is the same. As the video show's, eye strain and degration is caused by other factors.

Thanks so much for this info! I really like the 20-20-20 rule! The best thing I found to help with my eyes when looking at my computer screen for hours, is getting another pair of glasses with a computer prescription, meaning focusing on a distance of about 2 feet instead of your normal vision to infinity. In my first year of using these computer prescription glasses, they actually improved my prescription, not made it worse like it always had. Also, my eyes don't feel as tired or strained when using the computer prescription glasses. As for the blue light, I just turn on a setting on my devices to block blue light at dusk.

In Australia it doesn't cost too much to add blue light filters to your glasses. The main reason it is recommended is for reducing the blue light effects on melatonin production, and therefore to help you sleep if you use a computer, ipad etc. before bed. The general glasses stores/optometrists would only say blue light from screens causes eye damage in sustained and extreme cases of staring at a screen. Not sure what the deal is elsewhere in the world.

I work at an optical company, and one of the first things they mentioned when introducing the blue light filter to the sales associates was that they only aid in the prevention of digital eyestrain. They do not prevent macular degeneration, as this is a genetic condition that will progress with or without treated lenses, but they do prevent headaches and light sensitivity. If you find yourself suffering from dry eyes and/or headaches after being on a computer for an extended period of time, then the blue light filter is a great option, but it is not a necessary one.

@@knightwolf1872 ok, but someone must be feeding them this information to recite. Someone is to blame, and there should be punishment for this blatant false advertising.

The question is formulated incorrectly. The correct form is: Are blue light blocking glasses useful? And for some they are. Because they help to fall asleep on time and sleep better, if you use them a few hours before going to bed. Research shows that bad sleep affects memory, cognitive abilities and may take a few years from a human life. And I feel relief when I put them on at 6 pm in public places with fluorescent light.
