Interesting finding. A tangent: even if this study is correct, there still may be value in certain nonprescription lenses for long computer use.
I have glasses my optometrist suggested for long computer use, and they do block blue light, but she seemed more concerned with focal distance. She says that our eyes more naturally focus on things further away, but that lenses can adjust the focal point to be closer in, reducing eye strain.
I have adjusted to them, and now prefer using them. When I don't have them, it feels like things take more energy/focus to read on the screen, and if I leave my desk without taking them off, it feels like it's harder to focus on things at longer distances. I'm already nearsighted and wearing them in addition to contacts.
- pc86 3y agoThis is very interesting as I'm also nearsighted and wear contacts most of the time, and I've noticed a bit of eye strain lately as I get older. I know you're wearing them in addition to your RX contacts but are the glasses themselves prescription or OTC?
- mrled 3y agoMy optometrist told me that any pair of glasses can be made to adjust the focal point, and that if I regularly wear my prescription glasses instead of contacts, I should also buy a pair of prescription glasses with adjusted focal point for computer work. (I opted not to do that since I am almost always in contacts and because of the cost.)
