- Hey guys, what's up? I'm Christian Taylor, and today I'm gonna be talking about
blue light blocking glasses. Now yes, I know it looks crazy, but these are blue
light blocking glasses. They're not so orange - but they work. But I'll get to
that in a minute. First of all, what is blue light? Well, blue light is a certain
type of wave length that is omitted from computer screens and it can be harmful
to your eyes. So not only can it actually damage your eyes over time, it can cause
eye strain and it also messes with your body's natural melatonin process which
can mean that you can have trouble going to sleep if you're looking at your phone
right up to bedtime. So naturally the solution is to block
this blue light from ever reaching your eyes, and you can do that with blue light
blocking glasses, and yes though these don't have an obnoxious orange tint, they
really work. Just check out the footage.
So blue light blocking glasses block these harmful rays, and at the least they
protect your eyes from further harm, however for a lot of people including
myself, they also reduce eye strain and help you sleep better. Now I have two
pairs of these glasses, these are ones from a site called Eye Buy Direct that I
got for about $30, and there's also ones from a site called Zenni Optical I
have, which are clear frames, those are cool as well, I'll have both
links down in the description so you can check it out, but I really want to talk
about whether these glasses work or not. So after using them for about a month, I
gotta say, yes they work. I legitimately thought they were placebo
at first, but I do notice significantly less eye strain, and also I've been able
to fall asleep easier. I know it sounds really scammy, but once I tried it, I am a
firm believer in these glasses. The yellow tint is barely noticeable when
you put them on, I mean you only notice it for the first - maybe - two minutes of wearing them
and it's so subtle, it's not a bother at all. Now I know some of you are screaming
at me saying "Christian, what about f.lux and night shift and all these
features?" Well, I'm just gonna go out on the limb and say I don't think they're a
hundred percent effective. Because, yes they do help reduce some of that strain
by turning your screen orange, however there's no way to truly get rid of blue
light from a screen. You can make it orange all day sure, but it's an LED
screen. I mean, the light, the blue light is just a side effect of LEDs. So these
glasses ensure that none of it gets through to your eyes and you're fully
protected. So at the end of the day, would I recommend these glasses? Well.. yes and
no. You see they've worked very well but their effects have also been subtle.
I wouldn't really say it's been life-changing. So, if you wear
prescription glasses, I would recommend these glasses. These are prescription
glasses, and I would pay the extra $20 from an online site to get the blue
coating. I would even go as far as saying if you already have prescription glasses,
buy a new pair from this website to get that anti blue coating, it is worth the
money if you are a glasses wearer. However, if you don't wear glasses, either
you wear contacts or you just don't need eye correction at all, are these worth it?
Only if you're staring at a screen for a long time. If you are an avid computer
user, I can say I'd recommend trying them out, however it's not something that if
you don't absolutely need glasses I would tell you to go out and buy. Again
unless you are a heavy computer user. So what do you think of these blue light
blocking glasses? Do you have them? Do you want to try them, or do you think they're
just all a hoax? I'd love to know drop your comments down below and if you're
