Skeptic Turned Believer - Immediately Helped with Severe Eye Strain Pain - Great Look, Too!
At 46 years old, and having had a computer since I was 7, I suddenly began to suffer from severe eye strain at both my laptop and looking at my cell phone. I became so bad that I had to take an entire weekend off from electronic devices, having my partner review whatever needed to be done for me. It helped, but the eye strain came back quickly right after, even with just casual use of my laptop and cell phone. This concerned me as I am starting a new job soon that will require a significant amount of screentime. It would also require me to be able to discern colors clearly, so I can't have glasses that block a significant amount of blue light. SO I began hunt for anti-glare computer glasses. It wasn't as easy a task as I thought it would be, as many computer glasses have a magnification factor, and my vision is still 20/20 (just tested as part of my pre-employment physical coincidentally). Any magnification, even slight (.20) hurt my eyes even more, and the only glasses I could find in stores nearby had magnification. I turned to the internet and spent hours for a pair of glasses that 1. didn't have magnification, 2. only blocked a small percentage of blue light, and 3. looked good. And after a couple hours of searching, I finally decided to purchase these and hoped for the best. They arrived quickly, and as soon as I put them on I immediately felt my eyes relax. I don't understand how or why they work, but they do. I put them on as soon as I need to either use my computer, or if I am going to videochat on my phone. They fit my face perfectly and are just the right size for my head. They are not too heavy, though not as light as my sunglasses, but that's because of the frame and I like the frame personally. They appear very durable and after a week of use, I haven't noticed any scratches or other problems. But the best thing is that my eye pain is GONE. I've been able to use my laptop again without any pain, though I am still cautious and try to keep my screentime down to as little as possible. But the difference has been night and day. I start my new job in a week and I am SO relieved that I got these just in time. I will be bringing these to work with me to use every day, and though they block 20% of blue light, I am still able to read the color maps I will need to read when I am working again. These have been an eye saver for me, and I was getting very desperate, and even a little scared. If you are suffering from eye strain but don't want to block all blue light and do not require magnification, then get these lenses! I was admittedly skeptical, but they work, and at a fraction of the cost of going to an eye doctor. Highly recommended! Read more
