For someone with a healthy eye what would be the recommend magnifier level. Amazon has from .25, .50, etc all the way to 4. I spend over 8 hours in front of a computer. Thanks!!
I tried the Gunnar glasses based on your reviews and the anti-reflective properties were awesome; however, the magnification caused me more eye discomfort than not wearing them at all. Now I'm trying some Felix Gray's without magnification.
great video. I loved the bird poop example lol. I have been researching and there are different types or strengths of these computer glasses, some allow you to see further than your arms length away from the screen up to 1m away, please make a video describing on these different strengths. Im eager to know if one can use them for cooking, use of the cellphone and etc and which strengths allow you to do which task. Another video I haven't seen is an elaboration of close up glasses and computer glasses and if they are the same or not.
Thanks a lot for the video and I do have a question. Considering the slight magnification dependancy, would that be only the caffein-like psychological dependancy which one can overcome, or do the eyes actually accomodate to the magnification as they get (at least so was I always taught) when wearing someone else's prescription eyewear?
Fantastically useful information my friend. I'm one of those guys who is informed that what I'm using is considered above average quality, but I will still buy something based on that premise and then continue researching until I'm positive about my choice in the end. Truly computer/gaming glasses are conducive to alleviating symptoms of regular tech use, and they're great! I don't mind the dependency, it's a smart choice in the long run with health benefits as well. Let's go get a cup of coffee. Kidding! Thanks for the great video!
Hi! So I watched a different review on the Felix Gray glasses and they said the magnification made it uncomfortable for them to play video games, like it made them kind of dizzy. So that person got some $600 pair from their optometrist instead but I don’t have that kind of extra money lol. He suggested getting it without the magnification but here you say that’s the big helping factor! I do play a fair amount of video games and I’m a Sonographer (ultrasound) so between my machine and the computer I stare at lots of screens!!! So I was thinking of getting a pair of Felix Grays with no magnification. What is your recommendation?
Some people do get dizzy but the vast majority feel the benefit of the magnification more than anything else. I personally didn’t feel dizzy with Felix Gray even with the magnification and I like how little color their lenses have. I would personally go for the Felix Gray with magnification to reduce eye fatigue. I’m pretty sure you could always return it for the non magnified version if it bothers you. I hope that info helps. Thanks for the comment. Have an awesome day!
you would want to chose one or the other. f.lux will cut the blue light for you on your computer monitor. I've tried it and found it too be just a bit too distracting. The Sepia tone that it gives wasn't to my liking. A lot of people enjoy it though. Personally, I like using the eyewear with as little color as possible but with as much blue light filtering as possible. That's why I'm a big fan of Felix Gray. Hope this info help. Thanks for the question.
Hello, thank you for your video I just have a question for you.. I currently wear nearsighted glasses for most of the day and when I am not on computers my eyes are fine and not strained. I work on computers 8 hours + a day with my distance glasses on but I am getting a tremendous amount of eye strain on a daily basis. Would it be better for me to just wear the distance glasses for driving and wear a pair of prescription free computer glasses at work? Thanks
Great elaborate videos on computer glasses with your background in opticianry. I'll pass them along to friends and family who I am trying to convince of the benefits of computer glasses with their long hours in front of a screen. I have a question that I hope you can answer. I get a slight blue glare in my field of vision using my gunnars. Could this be a lens defect or might the spacing of my eyes not be ideal for the glasses?
That’s normal with Gunnar’s because the anti-blue light coating on the front of the lens. Just about all computer glasses have this coating which causes that blue glare. :)
Amazing video and information. You said that taking eye breaks is more beneficial than the glasses in the long run. Very interesting and I would like your input if you could. My line of work is computers all day. I'm worried about the strain I put on my eyes in long term since I already wear glasses (nearsighted&astigmatism) I put both my computer screens and phone on the "blue light" filter, but after your video I'm realizing I'm still staring at a screen with pixels just at a less powerful color temperature. So from what I'm getting it doesn't matter what you stare at, just make sure you take breaks? All this time I thought it was "screens" making your eyes bad, but I guess it's just staring for long periods of time at a brighter light will have the same effects? Thanks so much for your great content and knowledge.
Great question! Most of the strain comes from our eye muscles having to work extra hard to stay focus when things are within arms length. Those same muscles are relaxed when we are looking at thing in the distance. Digital devices defiantly have a big part to play since they are a light source. Everyone’s setup is different but breaks are a big help. We still don’t know enough about blue light to say that it is the main culprit. Nonetheless computer glasses are a precautionary step that is worth the investment. I personally found that a blue light filter on my lenses was more comfortable than f.lux or night mode on a phone. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Have an awesome day!
Found your channel as I was reading more about blue light blocking glasses, super cool that your youtube channel is accessible for reviews and questions! I really want to get blue light blocking/computer glasses. I don't have a problem with my vision, so I've never purchases eyeglasses. I don’t think I’ve formed any of the digital eye strain symptoms but I’ve increased my hours spent on my laptop, so I really want to take precautions. I've been doing my research and Pixel filter 50% of blue light, Gunner's amber lenses filter 65% of blue light, Felix Grey filters 50% of blue light and Spektrum filters 50% of blue light (but now I get that the prospek aren't "computer glasses"). To be honest, I didn’t fully understand the magnification option, but after watching all your videos I’m getting the picture. Now I don’t know if my first pair of glasses should have the magnification or not (I don't think I mind getting dependent on them if they're better for my eyes in the long run. I would wear the glasses at home mostly when I'm on the laptop/phone which is a lot (basically all day) since all my studies and free time are on there. Your recommendation would be greatly appreciated!
I wouldn't get the glasses with magnification unless you think you'll be spending 6-7 or more hours staring at the laptop and phone. A lot of digital eye strain can be prevented by simply taking breaks every 20-30 mins. If you don't need prescription and you're not feeling strain then glasses from spectrum, felix Gray and pixel should be just fine. I hope this helps. Let me know if there is any other way we can help. We're here to serve.
Hey man great videos and advice. I have slight myopia (like -.5) and want some glasses for console gaming. I sit about 3 - 4 meters from the TV, would the Gunnars work ok for me considering the magnification? Thanks heaps!
It's going to cost you a bit more but I would go with Gunnar lenses with your custom Rx. Since you're naturally nearsighted the magnification in Gunnar lenses could work against you. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. We're here to serve.
Hi, thanks for the fantastic, clear videos! One point I didn't understand - I've seen you commenting that you, personally, don't like magnification. If not - why should I buy computer glasses? More specifically - why would I buy Spektrum? (As you said, blue light effect from screens wasn't proved to be worse than the sun just yet). Thanks!
I don't like the magnification because my mind can't tolerate it. It's a personal thing. Many people wear computer glasses with a +.25 and they feel like it makes a huge difference. It's really up to the individual. Now, this doesn't mean that I don't like computer glasses. In fact, I wear computer glasses that are set to my doctor prescribed prescription. Spektrum glasses don't have any power in them unless you order their glasses with prescription, at which point you'll be paying extra. They make good glasses. It just depends if they have the style frames that you're looking for.
That’s a huge PD difference. At that point it’s not a simple decentration, that’s more like Prism. Thankfully it’s a low power but it may cause more strain than your trying to prevent. I don’t think you’ll find that to be a problem though because a Gunnar frame with a 50 PD would be too small for someone that has a 62 PD. Gunnar seems to be adjusting the PD based on the size of the frame. I hope this helps.
Thanks so much for the explanation! Do you suppose that tinted, anti-glare screen protectors/clip-ons could work as effectively as computer glasses? If not, then why not?
I have always had drier eyes. Then recently I had an issue where my eyes were over watering for two month's. I developed eye strain from the computer at work and my cell phone use. Per the optometrist, he recommended 1.25 readers... however, I would have to be pretty close to the screen for those to actually work. I have read that it is better to be 20 to 25 inches approximately from the computer screen. Upon my own research online, I purchased a pair of blue blocker glasses AKA gamer glasses, from Amazon. They are called Prospek. These have helped greatly. I now would not be without blue blocker glasses. I plan to purchase a pair of Gunner's, so then I will have a pair at work and a pair at home to wear when I'am on my cell phone. My eyesight is fine, however your eyes can definitely still become strained from the blue light emitted fom your electronic devices, including your TV. Also, I started taking a better fish oil supplement, Vitamin A supplement and more natural eye drops from the health store for the dry eyes. My eyes finally stopped over watering, and now I always have my blue blockers at work and at home! =)
Thank you so much for the input. I appreciate the information being shared here. I have a Gunnar video you should watch. It’s really informative. Have an awesome day.
I just got my computer glasses for digital eye strain do they have a prescription for digital eye strain or would the computer glasses make it go away I had it over 5 months now should I go see ophthalmologist or optometrist ?
So we can have classes with no magnification just blocking blue light and take a rest while working to prevent the side effect depency of magnification
The question i have is if you need a prescription as I do can you use gunnars for everyday use as well as infront of the computer or do you need two pairs?
Hi George, I personally didn't like the tint when I was outside walking around. You can get the "clear" version of Gunnar lenses but the amber tint helps with contrast in front of a monitor. In short, if you want the true gunnar experience, I would say you need 2 separate glasses. Hope this helps. have an awesome day!
Actually that is really helpful just got my new prescription and I was considering ordering up two pairs of the gunnar one with the crystalline and one with the amber as I really like the frame styles they have. However was concerned on if the focus on these being on computer glasses if I should get a pair of these and then find an AFK pair from a different vendor.
Happy to hear. I recently discover what I think is the "goldielocks" computer glasses. They are by a company called Felix Grey. They make great lenses. They don't have a color quite as noticeable as the gunnar amber lenses but they are not as clear as the crystalline lenses either. They are right in between and I enjoyed wearing them. I even wore them to drive and there was very little color influence coming from the lenses. You should look into them. Have an awesome day George!
thanks man i need this well my auntie told me to have a computer glasses to protect my eyes because i am very addicted to gadgets which sometimes i blockout like i was blind thingy i use gadgets 24hours even i have schools. so I decided why not buy some and before i buy i look for something like this if i would like it or not and yah thank and now I have my computer glasses and sometimes i were it in my school not just for style bc we use computer and reading for me i canna have headache reading alot i was like i cannot read anymore the symptom though
4:28 So if I buy some of those glasses it will take my attention away from the fact that there is a huge bird poop in the corner of my computer screen ? Awesome, because there is this bloody bird that keeps finding a way to enter my house when I'm not at home and it always takes a dump right on my computer screen, it doesn't shit on my computer desk or on the carpet, it's just the computer screen for some reason.
I am confused about my eyes..Not sure if the eye strain is due to age related presbyopia or staring at the computer for too long. I do feel that things do get blurry when it is very near to me, but my eye fights it and finally focuses on it.. Could this be causing the problem? If I wear a reading glass, things really look clear on my phone, but I don't want to use it for monitors as it is little far away and I can actually see clearly.. I am now confused should I start using a reading glass or a computer glass.. Any thoughts anyone? :)
The slight magnification is really the "X Factor". Without it, you are not really assisting your eyes much. Yes, the color helps, but the slight magnification is the secret ingredient that has placed Gunnar Eyewear at the top of the list. Felix Grey is a company that is open about the use of slight magnification. They are the first that I found to openly give customers the option. If you haven't seen my other video review on Gunnar Eyewear you should check it out. th-cam.com/video/RgPEfIMsHyo/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the comment. Have an awesome day.
That’s not a major problem. Anti-reflective coating and taking breaks will do. Blue light filtering isn’t the main issue. Over straining your eyes is. Take regular breaks and you’ll be fine. :)
Not at all. There are many great options out there. If you're just looking to block blue light then there are lot's of good options under $40. Here's a link that will help www.eyeinfluence.org/single-post/Best-Computer-Glasses-Under-40 If you need something with prescription, it will run you a bit more but there are still affordable options. Check out Felix Gray and Gunnar. Gunnar has some that are $50-$70. The most costly computer glasses would be those that you get filled with your prescription. That could run you on average of $200+ Hope this info helps but let me know if you want to know anything else. Thanks for watching the video.
Apart from the tips mentioned in this video, is there anything else that can help my longevity of my eyesight if I use computers a lot( I study computer science and I want to be a programmer when I’m older, and I’m already having some slight symptoms, such as dry eyes and focusing issues). I also want to know what’s your profesional opinion on “eye exercises” , I see them a lot in the internet as a way to not rely on glasses, and a natural way to make your eyesight better. This video was really informative as is, you have my thanks.
Alex Ruiz Suarez best advise I can give you is to rest your eyes. Take a break every 20 min. During that break take a few long blinks to wet your eyes and look into the distance to refocus. It just takes a few seconds but it really helps. Eye exercises are great but rest is really the best way to go.
Mariah, im a big fan. Unfortunately the enChroma glasses do not block out much blue light. They are pretty dark so they act more like sunglasses. They are designed to block out a certain range of the spectrum in order to enhance those that color blind eyes can’t see as well. Hope the info helps. Can’t wait for the next album. Have a great day.
I have a computer job where I stare at the computer for over 7 hrs and my eyes are starting to feel it. I get headaches and major eye fatigue. I wear prescription glasses (-1.75, 64 PD and never contacts ). My computer is about 15 to 20 inches away. My question is should I get the reg gunnar’s or have them made for my prescription ?
mesmeskaty hello! Great question. I would have your doctor write you a prescription for computer use. If your current RX is -1.75 then your computer rx will most likely be -1.25 or so. Tell your doctor exactly how far away your monitor is and they will show you a prescription that will be better for that distance. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Have an awesome day.
Depends, if you get computer glasses with the light magnification then it may be uncomfortable wearing them for distance. If you get the non magnified glasses then you’re good. You can wear those all day, for everything.
2:38 wait. Just wait. Listen. You DO necessarily need coffee. Just setting this straight. Carry on now :)
For someone with a healthy eye what would be the recommend magnifier level. Amazon has from .25, .50, etc all the way to 4. I spend over 8 hours in front of a computer. Thanks!!
I tried the Gunnar glasses based on your reviews and the anti-reflective properties were awesome; however, the magnification caused me more eye discomfort than not wearing them at all. Now I'm trying some Felix Gray's without magnification.
I agree. I can't wear lenses with a slight magnification all day. I'd rather wear them only while on a computer.
great video. I loved the bird poop example lol. I have been researching and there are different types or strengths of these computer glasses, some allow you to see further than your arms length away from the screen up to 1m away, please make a video describing on these different strengths. Im eager to know if one can use them for cooking, use of the cellphone and etc and which strengths allow you to do which task. Another video I haven't seen is an elaboration of close up glasses and computer glasses and if they are the same or not.
Thanks for putting so much detail.
What I got is I don't really need computer glasses.
Thanks a lot for the video and I do have a question. Considering the slight magnification dependancy, would that be only the caffein-like psychological dependancy which one can overcome, or do the eyes actually accomodate to the magnification as they get (at least so was I always taught) when wearing someone else's prescription eyewear?
Oh, I just discovered the video answering that question exactly. Fortunately I wasn't the first to ask, obviously :D
Fantastically useful information my friend. I'm one of those guys who is informed that what I'm using is considered above average quality, but I will still buy something based on that premise and then continue researching until I'm positive about my choice in the end.

Great video! I have a question, is it necessary to combine f.lux with computer lens? Or I only need one of them?
you would want to chose one or the other. f.lux will cut the blue light for you on your computer monitor. I've tried it and found it too be just a bit too distracting. The Sepia tone that it gives wasn't to my liking. A lot of people enjoy it though. Personally, I like using the eyewear with as little color as possible but with as much blue light filtering as possible. That's why I'm a big fan of Felix Gray.
Hope this info help. Thanks for the question.
Could you do a review on Costco store computer glasses they also come photocromic with blue light tint.
I’ll look into those for sure. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hey , nice video..
I'm under 40, +0.25 is fine.
Can I use this powered for both reading and computer?

Hi, thanks for the fantastic, clear videos!
One point I didn't understand -
I've seen you commenting that you, personally, don't like magnification.
If not - why should I buy computer glasses?
More specifically - why would I buy Spektrum?
(As you said, blue light effect from screens wasn't proved to be worse than the sun just yet).
Thanks!
And will they help reducing eye strain?
I don't like the magnification because my mind can't tolerate it. It's a personal thing. Many people wear computer glasses with a +.25 and they feel like it makes a huge difference. It's really up to the individual.
Now, this doesn't mean that I don't like computer glasses. In fact, I wear computer glasses that are set to my doctor prescribed prescription.
Spektrum glasses don't have any power in them unless you order their glasses with prescription, at which point you'll be paying extra. They make good glasses. It just depends if they have the style frames that you're looking for.
@@EyeInfluence Thank you for your reply. I still don't understand - what is the positive effect non-power glasses has?
Thanks alot.
Hi, in long term what are the negative effects of gunnar lenses that have 50mm pupile distance for someone that are close to 62mm PD ?
That’s a huge PD difference. At that point it’s not a simple decentration, that’s more like Prism. Thankfully it’s a low power but it may cause more strain than your trying to prevent.
I don’t think you’ll find that to be a problem though because a Gunnar frame with a 50 PD would be too small for someone that has a 62 PD. Gunnar seems to be adjusting the PD based on the size of the frame.
I hope this helps.

do all Gunnar glasses have the same lenses?
How much magnification is ideal?
I just got my computer glasses for digital eye strain do they have a prescription for digital eye strain or would the computer glasses make it go away I had it over 5 months now should I go see ophthalmologist or optometrist ?
If they were made as computer glasses already then you should be good.

There are other brands which don't come up with magnification like tokai lutina ,pixel ,hyper X , what are your views?

That’s not a major problem. Anti-reflective coating and taking breaks will do. Blue light filtering isn’t the main issue. Over straining your eyes is. Take regular breaks and you’ll be fine. :)
i really appreciate the info!
Here to serve. Thanks for your support.
Do you need to spend lots money for a good pair?
Not at all. There are many great options out there. If you're just looking to block blue light then there are lot's of good options under $40. Here's a link that will help www.eyeinfluence.org/single-post/Best-Computer-Glasses-Under-40
If you need something with prescription, it will run you a bit more but there are still affordable options. Check out Felix Gray and Gunnar. Gunnar has some that are $50-$70.
The most costly computer glasses would be those that you get filled with your prescription. That could run you on average of $200+
Hope this info helps but let me know if you want to know anything else. Thanks for watching the video.
Apart from the tips mentioned in this video, is there anything else that can help my longevity of my eyesight if I use computers a lot( I study computer science and I want to be a programmer when I’m older, and I’m already having some slight symptoms, such as dry eyes and focusing issues).
I also want to know what’s your profesional opinion on “eye exercises” , I see them a lot in the internet as a way to not rely on glasses, and a natural way to make your eyesight better.
This video was really informative as is, you have my thanks.
Alex Ruiz Suarez best advise I can give you is to rest your eyes. Take a break every 20 min. During that break take a few long blinks to wet your eyes and look into the distance to refocus. It just takes a few seconds but it really helps.
Eye exercises are great but rest is really the best way to go.
Do EnChroma sunglasses block blue light?
Mariah, im a big fan. Unfortunately the enChroma glasses do not block out much blue light. They are pretty dark so they act more like sunglasses. They are designed to block out a certain range of the spectrum in order to enhance those that color blind eyes can’t see as well.
Hope the info helps. Can’t wait for the next album. Have a great day.
If someone wears vision corrective glasses already, what are their options for computer glasses?
My girlfriend has vision corrective glasses with screen protection, so you can have both
I have a computer job where I stare at the computer for over 7 hrs and my eyes are starting to feel it. I get headaches and major eye fatigue. I wear prescription glasses (-1.75, 64 PD and never contacts ). My computer is about 15 to 20 inches away. My question is should I get the reg gunnar’s or have them made for my prescription ?
mesmeskaty hello! Great question. I would have your doctor write you a prescription for computer use. If your current RX is -1.75 then your computer rx will most likely be -1.25 or so. Tell your doctor exactly how far away your monitor is and they will show you a prescription that will be better for that distance.
Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment. Have an awesome day.
If glasses are like coffee, I want 5 pairs.
looks like asian version of common.. nice review bro thanks for the info..
If you are 40 or older you can't focus anyway, at least until the presbyopia eyedrops get approved by the FDA.
Can I wear them all day?
Depends, if you get computer glasses with the light magnification then it may be uncomfortable wearing them for distance. If you get the non magnified glasses then you’re good. You can wear those all day, for everything.
may be a stylish glasses will suitable for you: c7.gg/WuGh
