    I used the Gunnar Gaming glasses to work in front of monitors and I can tell that there was a dramatic improvement in eye strain. Without the glasses I can last about an hour before the eyestrain becomes too much, but with the glasses I can last 4 hours no problem.

      I have those glasses to. When I was in school I started to having to leave the glasses room beacause my eye strain was so bad ever other day. It usually also would occur after hours and hours of looking at my phone or a computer or a tv. a year went by before I found out about blue light glasses. My eyes stopped watering perfusively and my sevre eye pain would not happen when I wear them.

      I agree they work. My middle school daughter science class just finished wave lengths and visible light. Bottom line blue light stronger, red weaker. Which us going to wear you out faster? Also polycarbonate absorbs blue light and yellow filters it even more. Honestly I have never seen somone be so confident that every problem is a nail because the only tool he has is a hammer. 😢

I tried everything before it and I can honestly say... doctors aren't always right. My blue light blockers have been worth every cent.

    Respectfully, I disagree. 1:40 Your quoted study is for cataract surgery: intraocular lens implantation- with a blue light filter, not blue light from LEDs! THIS IS A VERY SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCE. The replacement lens doesn't block harmful radiation from the sun as the natural lens does. There are higher rates of macular degeneration for those who have had cataract surgery, possibly due to that and scar tissue from surgery. The effect on rat eyes is not different from humans. Blind animals exposed to blue light become more active. Fish from the bottom of the ocean with no eyes became more active when exposed to blue light. It suppresses melatonin production, and while nobody seems to mention it, melatonin prevents mitochondrial membrane depolarization, which is huge. Amber lenses completely block blue light, and a pair of decent blue blockers can be found at big box stores for about $20.
    2:20 The Cochrane review (they favor pharmacological approaches vs. nutrients) was again for cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation with a blue light filter on the eye lens. This is different from blue light LED screen exposure!
    You can tell if you have blue blocker lenses because the colors are slightly different.
    The process of converting tryptophan to serotonin and that to melatonin requires multiple steps, some require daylight, some darkness. Look up 'light spectrum analysis of light bulbs' (images) for the pretty one with 10 graphs. The big 3 on the right are sun in morning, midday, and evening. The spike in blue light for LEDs is not natural light, like the old incandescent bulbs. Blue light is the most unstable in the visible light spectrum. It steals electrons from photoreceptors and does damage retinas (25863264). Unlike testing a drug showing to help treat a disease in an animal model, blue light is damaging eyes- who would sign up for that human trial?
    Your viewers could simply try on a pair in a store, sit and look at their phones for a few minutes to see if there's a difference. You seem to be admitting the blue light may be a problem if you want people to cut the blue light on their phones instead of getting the glasses. They could do both.
    Ultimately you are misleading your viewers with the narrow specificities of your quoted data.

      Thank you! I thought something was off when he cited the study on eye strain. The blue blocking lenses should have a noticeable yellow color so the participant should know if they are using the placebo or not. I personally use the Gunnar Gaming glasses and notices a dramatic reduction in eyestrain my myself. This doctor doesn't know what he is talking about.

    Anytime I listen to info I am almost always wary of someone who tries to use humor in there approach of informing you, jokes don't make your point more valid, I notice the person that does this is the person that is trying to purposely mislead you. You never know anybodies motive people opinions are bought all the time, so anytime I listen to info in the back of my mind I am aware of what is a fact may not necessarily be the truth. belittling someone's position doesn't make you right just childish, especially in this type of situation you could literally be wrong in your position, from what I gathered the glasses have not been researched enough to back up every claim but it backs up maybe a point or two, the other points truly needs to be tested extensively to prove results though, so the same way it hasn't been proven to help,is the same eay it definitely has not been proven to not help. It's so early in the experiment that the only thing that can truly be said is that it looks like they may br on to something.

    I don't know about digital eye strain or anything else but for insomnia and being able to go to bed at night they made a huge difference for me. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I think this doctor is going too far when discounting their use all together. Also, you don't have to spend 100-200 bucks. I bought mine for 40 bucks a few years ago and they're still working great. I don't think they were a waste of money at all.

    • @MarceloArzubialdeRodriguez
      @MarceloArzubialdeRodriguez Рік тому

      The thing is, if there's absence of evidence, why would you believe in that in the first place? That's the issue of that reasoning.
      Think that blue light filter developers were the first ones that stated something. "Hey, my filter works". If he come to you like that without any evidence, why would you trust him?
      If someone come to you with a new vitamine to grow taller after 20, wouldn't you need to ask for evidence?
      How could we believe in something "just in case"; that's how scam works.
      But most importantly, because treatment developers need evidence to know where the hell are they going. They don't just come up with the cure, they do tests in many people, analyze the different reactions to adjust the treatment.
      And now finding out that there's no evidence sounds like they were working blind all this time.
      Other thing that would make us get a much better perspective is how difficult or easy it is to find evidence for any treatment effectiveness?

  • @9mmfederalrimmed235
    @9mmfederalrimmed235 4 місяці тому +3

    The biggest improvement which has stopped basically completely digital eye tiredness or digital eye strain is the modern screen technology. Since not all monitors are up to the most modern technology, there seems to be some people who still get digital eye strain.
    I went through the CRT monitors which where the worst tech ever and most likely damaged my eyes. Those early 1990's and 2000's CRT monitors caused lots of eye strain. Do never use them again.
    Then the flat monitors showed up which where basically LCD monitors. Those caused as well eye strain since the picture angle was just right centered on the flat screen.
    What causes digital eye strain? This: Forcing the eyes to look for an sharp image on the screen and that is caused by constantly forcing the eyes to look for the right spot for best angle of attack on the picture on the screen. That constantly monitoring tires the eyes since they force themselves constantly to get an sharp image. That is the root cause of digital eye strain. The lack of focus on the monitor screens so the human eye constantly tries to focus without rest.
    As well an LED screen on an laptop does no good for the eyes. As my 17" laptop screen forced my eyes constantly as well.
    Which makes the difference and is the single tech which solves the problem of digital eye strain? That is the IPS technology. The In Plane Switching technology give an 178 degree sharp image (basically 90 degrees from all sides and top and bottom) automatically. The IPS technology provides some sort of an autofocus for the human eyes so the image is allways sharp from 178 degrees angle.
    THAT made for me the game changer and the only difference. Plus my monitor has an ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts the monitor brightness according to the optimum for the human eye using the ambient light sensor.
    Plus it has an eye care package built in (BenQ 24" IPS 1080p 60 Hz monitor) so I can manually reduce the blue light 30% or 50%. Then my glasses have antireflective which my optic says that reduces the blue light about 20%. So my monitor has an pergament or kind of beige colour background which is supposed to be the best for the human eye. Also does the screen of my smartphone and tablet having an pergament colour background.
    With my IPS monitor I can now sit on the screen basically 8 hours straight without getting tired on the eyes.
    What makes a difference is as well the size of the screen. Do not use an screen smaller than 24 inches. 17 inches is to small.
    A tablet can have an 7 to 9 inches screen but then you are not supposed to stare at the screen constantly. Do not work on the tablet and not even think of working or gaming on the smartphone. A smartphone is for phoning, using once in a while per day WhatsApp or messenger, checking occasionally the email and that's it. A tablet is only for entertainment. Do not watch movies on the tablet lest smartphone but for movies your desktop monitor of 24" or greater is there. A tablet is for watching UA-cam videos, occasional email check and occasional surf on the web - that's it. The tablet is majorly for listen to the UA-cam videos and the occasional look at the screen.
    All other tasks like typing this comment must be done on the 24 inch main monitor of your desktop PC. An too small screen, being it IPS or not will damage your eyes and tire your eyes pretty soon. Screen size matters alongside the IPS technology most. An built in light sensor and automatic light intensity adjustment by the monitor helps as well big time. Then your glasses should have antireflective and UV400 protection. As far as I know only the brand BenQ has such complete monitors with eye care package built in as hardware.
    This is my personal experience and I believe it can be valid universally for most people.

    This doctor has Zero critical thinking skills. The study he referenced about clear vs. blue blocking (yellow) results nobody could tell the difference. Why? Hummm. Quit thinking like a doctor think like a scientist. Blue light is closer to low grade ultraviolet light stronger light. Reason it hurts is this stronger light blast through our cornea (lens) and to the back of the eye. So back to low grade ultraviolet light. What do scientist use.... polycarbonate (plastic) glasses to absorb the ultraviolet violent or blue light. Ergo both groups in this study were both wearing blue light blocking glasses. Classic doctor spent half his life learning the right answer for a test not the why. Also the setting in Apple and Andriod he referred to change the wave length of the light to more yellow less blue. Conclusion don't go to this doctor.

    i've had blue/UV blocking filters on every pair of prescription glasses i've had for the past few years and have never noticed a difference in anything. no reduced eye strain, no reduced headaches, no reduced insomnia, nothing. the only reason i buy the specific filter is because of the UV protection. if blue light is really as bad all the comment section doctors say it is, then we should all be closing our eyes whenever we step outside.

  • @MvFreeze

    As someone who suffers from chronic migraines pretty much daily, blue light 100% causes more eye strain (I am photosensitive so the effects are more pronounced on me and others with my condition). I cannot even look at a computer screen without turning on the blue light filter to nearly 100% at any point of the day and wearing my blue light blocking glasses (20% tint only cost $30 without insurance, not "hundreds" as you claimed, unless you're buying designer frames too). Yes, the studies were done on rats, but so are most medical studies before human trials, that doesn't make the evidence any less credible. 20-20-20 rule is the only sound advice I heard on this video because your "solution" to wear UV blocking sunglasses, doesn't help me or many others who already use them in conjunction with the blue light glasses for outdoor and indoor use respectively.

    Welll broken down! I went to to the eye Dr yesterday and haven't seen the doctor in about 5 yrs. The sales associate when figuring what to be put in my lenses. Told me about blue light. I asked him questions about it cuz I was hesitant already dealing with a red flag from the eye Dr as everything is a racket. In today's world have to be conservative with money. So to make a long story short. The salesmen tells me that if I didn't get the blue light in my lenses. That it would deteriorate my eyes. I was pretty caution cuz there isn't no scientific evidence to support the claim. Then I called the store half hour later cuz I elected on single vision lenses for reading which was reason I elected to go to eye Dr in the first place. I asked the same associate about the blue light and asked if I changed my mind and wanted the blue light in lenses it would deteriorate my eyes while watching TV and stuff without. He had a different answer and said it might. Before that he was adamant about it ruining my eyes when I was getting.glasses. So in my mind he lied which is typical.for a salesmen as that is their job to sell and not be honest. So beware if thinking about getting that.in your lenses. Blue blocker sunglasses been around in the late 80s I believe and was in an infomercial for sunglasses. If that isn't a gimmick I don't know what is.
