No duh?
'Blue light' glasses are a marketing gimick to sell reading glasses to insecure people who don't want to need reading glasses.
- rootusrootus 3y agoThat's a pretty narrow niche. No matter how much you don't want them, there's only a few years or so when you can mostly get by without them, once the amblyopia has begun. My reading glasses have blue light blocking, though it wasn't a feature I was looking for and I buy them in packs of six for about $25.
- pluijzer 3y agoOr, and I will admit it, people with healthy eyes that like the look of glasses and finally found an excuse to buy them. I never used them though. Also it really did feel like a marketing gimmick, holding it in front of a pure blue picture, I couldn't see much difference between it with or without glasses.
- mapcars 3y agoRight, so I developed eye pain in my univercity years and since them I'm wearing blue light filter glasses for 14 yeas spending 6+ hours at screen every day without any problems. Is this insecure part or gimick one?
- nottorp 3y agoEver tried glasses without the blue light filter to compare?
- yencabulator 3y ago...without knowing that you did. Placebo effects can be hard to undo, people remain convinced of whatever they were convinced of.
