I managed to get these at 50 % off (30 EUR). Let's see if all this blue-light UV filtering polarised transitioning lenses doohicky mcfuck actually does anything. They've been rather comfortable (for the eyes) to wear outside, but I'm still not quite sure about indoors and looking at monitors. I'll see with time.
Rather silly of them to advertise it as "gaming" eyewear, though...

I've been meaning to get some of the Gunnar Optiks that do this. The blue wavelength messes with your sleep patterns. So monitors and such keep you awake because your brain is tricked into thinking the sun is still up.

^ Considering the sheer amount of time I spend looking at a monitor, I thought I might as well give it a shot! (Especially since I could get it cheap)
Even if the effect is rather small, in the long run it might still be a good idea. I have otherwise quite good eyes, so it's probably not going to be a miracle as for some with really bad eyes who can barely stand looking at monitors for any length of time. Still, sometimes after really long sessions, I can feel my eyes being tired and "sore", kind of dry and itchy. It's not all that often (maybe because I have the brightness at 20), but it does happen occasionally. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out after I've used it for some time.
The whole sleep pattern thing is also something that's been interesting me. It's not just monitors but a whole lot of light emitting devices seem to have that blue light — no wonder I've always preferred to keep the lights off unless I really need it.

[quote user=InSOmnIaC]Look into f.lux as well. It slowly removes the blue light from your monitor as the sun sets. It can't remove it 100%, but it helps. [/quote]
I might have tried that before, can't remember.

You get the tired/dry eyes from staring at the monitor for hours at a time. You don't blink as much...eyes dry out. Try some otc rewetting drops. The blue light filters should make a noticeable difference over a period of time. The feedback I've been getting back from patients who try the blue light filters has been mostly positive. Less strain, more relaxed, etc.

[quote user=n0body]Yo, you do know youcan change the colour and temperature settings on your monitor, no need for the gaylord glasses.[/quote]
6500 K, 9300 K, Native, and Custom; but does this affect the backlight, or just the LCD? Besides, I'm already a retarded nerd, might as well look the part!
Lshoon I'll even be lshpeaking with a lilshp alsh I mumble and ponder the great quelshtionlsh of life.
[quote user=n0body]Second, polarised glasses and monitors don't mix.[/quote]
They're not, but why would it be a problem with monitors?

Don't get me wrong, polarised sunglasss are great,but not if you want to use a screen (phone, camera, laptop etc).

Not completely true. If you remove the polarized film from the monitor, the glasses become a Secret Hentai Interdependent-viewing Tool.
