My son, just yesterday, asked to get some fancy gaming glasses. I've always assumed it was junk. However, the particular brand happened to have a credible review on YouTube by a presumably unrelated eye doctor who does a series on eye stuffs. In this brand's case, they have slight magnification and slight prism effect (like uncrossing your eyes) that places less strain on your eyes when being close to a screen. Those seemed like real benefits. I'm not sold on the blue light part aside from when it is time to get ready for bed. But the glasses came in on sale for like $15 with shipping, so we will find out if they are any good.

- jml7c5 7y agoThe blue light part is probably nonsense for sleep (unless they are _very_ yellow), but the rest makes sense. They're essentially reading glasses to keep the screen at optical infinity, with a prism that keeps the eyes converging at (real) infinity. (The prism seems particularly important for a young person, as otherwise the still-developing brain could come under the impression that sometimes it's important to cross one's eyes while looking at an object at optical infinity.) I use a custom prescription to produce a similar effect, and they are wonderful for preventing eye strain.
