This is great, thanks for this insight as we're living in an era of paid reviews and even some done by AI. Keeping our money well spent, thanks so much! Greetings from the Philippines! 🤙🤙🤙
Please help. For a person quite blind but extremely sensitive to light, what might be the best glasses for screen watching? I so hope you will see this post, I just found your channel.
Carrie, can you please tell me about the orange-tinted glasses you’re wearing in this video? When and for what purpose do you wear those? How are they different than the other blue-light blocking glasses which are the subject of the video? Please and thank you. 🙏🏻
They're from VivaRays. Find them in my Recommended Products Guide here: www.carriebwellness.com/products. And, if you sign up for my free Circadian Starter Kit, I'll send you a Blue Blockers 101 video on the 2nd day, where I'll tell you exactly how I use which color of glasses: www.carriebwellness.com/start
Thanks for the summary Carrie. Hey. I’ve wondered what the impact is from say light peaking in around the corners of my lenses if say I turn my head a certain way and inadvertently catch a ray of light coming in. Is that a major deal?
Not a major deal. The major receptors in your eyes are in the middle. I answer this Q in even more detail in my FAQ guide, though, which you can get if you sign up for my free Circadian Starter Kit! www.carriebwellness.com/start
@@carriebwellness Thanks Carrie, appreciate the response and am a big fan of the content you put out as well. You make it very digestible for the layperson like myself.
They have three different colored lens options, so I'm unsure which ones you're referring to specifically. But I haven't had a pair of MW RLT blockers in a long while. If I recall correctly, the orange ones would have blocked 450-500, which is my go-to range.
@@carriebwellness thank you for confirming. I was referring to the orange glasses, apologies for not specifying. May I ask why you haven’t used the Midwest glasses for a while?
Thank you for this. I have a quick question, and I apologize if it is "dumb." But, is it helpful to wear blue-blocking glasses for computer use, even if it is daytime? I ask because I work at a computer all day and often get headaches. Someone recommended blue-blockers, but in this video you say the blue-blockers are for nighttime use, so I am a little confused. Thanks again!
Not dumb! Yellow: Daytime when inside & not able to open windows (even when you're not starting at a screen, modern window glass blocks the full spectrum of UV light, rendering it primarily blue light) Orange: Before sunrise/after sunset (unless you're driving, in which case, it's unsafe, so wear yellow) Red: 30-60 mins before bedtime, if needed (cuts out green light as well as blue light, if orange isn't sufficient for you)
@@carriebwellness Thank you so much! I am grateful for your response. I just ordered the yellow and also the orange glasses from Midwest Red Light, and I used your discount code. Thanks again!!
Does blue light blocking film that could be used to wrap around lamps exist? I couldn't find it anywhere. What's your view on lightbulbs that supposedly emit
I have a few LED lightbulb companies that don't emit blue light listed in my free product recommendations guide here: carriebwellness.com/products. But don't know yet of a film you can wrap around a lamp. I think just replacing the blub seems like the more practical answer there, as long as the type of bulb you need exists!
In general, you just want to make sure they're blocking the appropriate wavelengths of light. Some will call them amber, and some will call them yellow, but they often don't always block the same wavelengths of light, no matter what they're called.
Thank you Carrie for this video - super helpful. Have been listening to your podcast also. You are a wealth of knowledge!
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!

which spectrometer do you recommend is the best professionally
I use the Hopoo Color B350 version so I can also measure flicker, but I don't think this specific unit is available any longer.

Hi Carrie
Are you able to share the nm range of blue light that was blocked by the blue blocker glasses made by Midwest red light therapy?
They have three different colored lens options, so I'm unsure which ones you're referring to specifically. But I haven't had a pair of MW RLT blockers in a long while. If I recall correctly, the orange ones would have blocked 450-500, which is my go-to range.
@@carriebwellness thank you for confirming. I was referring to the orange glasses, apologies for not specifying. May I ask why you haven’t used the Midwest glasses for a while?

I think Amber lenses are better than yellow ones is it right ?
In general, you just want to make sure they're blocking the appropriate wavelengths of light. Some will call them amber, and some will call them yellow, but they often don't always block the same wavelengths of light, no matter what they're called.
Do you sell glasses?
I do not. All of the ones I use and recommend are in my free product guide: carriebwellness.com/products
won't just toy glasses wih red lenses for 1$ block all grenn and blue lol
No, actually :) Blue-light blockers and colored lenses are not the same thing.
