Here are 3 options that you can try first to prevent digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome, before trying blue light glasses.
1. Try and take adequate and frequent breaks during screen time. The golden rule for computer use is the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break, and look 20 feet away. It’s best to focus on blinking fully during this time. Sometimes the strain can come from not only your focusing muscles getting tired, but from your eyes getting dry while staring at the screen. Consider using an artificial tear eye drop during that break.

2. Look into computer specific glasses. Computer glasses are designed with a slight “add” power, or a specific focal power for the distance of your monitor or screen. This can lessen the demand of your focus muscles needed, and ultimately decrease eye strain. There is also “Prism” that we can put in glasses. Prism can shift the image you are looking at to lessen the demand of your convergence muscles in your eyes, or the muscles that are turning the eyes inward to keep a single image. These are prescription that you can get from your eye doctor.
👉Some people can use mild over-the-counter reading/computer glasses depending on their eye prescription. They aren't the best, but they can work for a lot of people. You can find out the power you need from your eye doctor.

3. Consider “migraine glasses”. These are glasses with a specific tint to help with migraines. If you have digital eye strain couples with headaches, migraine glasses may work well for you.

I was recently diagnosed with Panuveitis and have been considering a pair of FL 41 glasses for recovery and to ease back into normal life. I would love to see a comparison video!

Just today I prescribed a Neurolens Computer Prescription with Blue Light Filter for a patient that does many hours of computer work per day! I’m so excited for her to have all of the benefits from them since she is on her computer so much. Great video Dr Guymon!

Good stuff. I need a new eye exam and new glasses but my insurance doesn't cover vision...
Thank you for the tips, doc! As you mentioned the visible red veins in the eyes. How to get rid of them?
I have dry eyes and they’re permanently in my eyes. In the morning, when I wake up, they appear less. But when I go out , the wind and cold air make them really red. I’m on Xiidra and EYsuVIS for a week, along of using Refresh Celluvisc, Digital PF and Relieva PF.
I know we need eyes protection when we go out but I live in Seattle- it’s rainy and cloudy so sunglasses aren’t useful in winter here.
I ordered Stoggles 👓 ( still waiting for the delivery) which have blue light blocking. I’m considering to wear them on the daily basic cause I work in indoor cold, dry air condition. I’d like to know if it helps. Thank you!
How many uv these glasses protect ?
And does it actually prevent from eye strain
I just ordered some FL41 glasses, I get migraines and am light sensitive, so excited to get them!!
Awesome! I hope they help. Let me know how they work for you.
@@DrEyeGuyare the red tinted Gunnar glasses FL41?
@@Who-cu9eu no... I don't think so. I'll have to check into that and see if they have specific fl41 glasses
I have ordered an eye-friendly LED lamp that can be adjusted for brightness and color temperature. It also has anti-glare properties. I think using the right desk lamp when doing computer work is part of the equation, and I hope that this new lamp will be better on the eyes than a regular bulb lamp. Also useful might be moist chamber glasses to reduce tear evaporation.
Good tips! Thank you for commenting!
@@DrEyeGuyI’ve bought Avulux and I have to say I’m disappointed. I’ve not tested the amount of blue light, red light, amber light it blocks but I still get headaches wearing them. I prefer to stick with my Horus x glasses and whenever I get a migraine I use migralens glasses which are green tint
@Who thanks for commenting this. I've been curious what other people experience. I'm still curious to see if it will help me.
LED no matter the color still have tons of blue light. Better to opt for good old incandescent lights or candlesz
what about phitochromic anti blue light glasses???
Hello doctor, i am suffering from a chromatic aberration which is something known as CHROMOSTEREOPSIS.
Wherein red colour words seems jumped out & Blue colour words recessed when I saw on laptop/ phone screen. It's like looking a 3D object.
What are treatment available for the same? & I do have pulsation in the head
At 3:57, were you talking about the Neurolens?
Constant eye strain usually triggered by either weak eye muscles (most cases Superior oblique / Medial Rectus) and/or Strabismus or Ciliary Muscle Spasm (Accommodative Spasm) which induce dry eyes and blurry vision. The following causes are not that common but can cause sensory strabismus such as (Ocular Hypertension (or spikes IOP during the day), Glaucoma, Cataracts and Keratoconus.
What causes Keratoconus to cause sensory strabismus and would that be corrected if you used corrective contacts such as RGP or Scleral lenses?
@@nebula421 Hi, In most cases, YES Sclera lenses or corneal transplant ( keratoplasty), should fix the sensory strabismus induced by Keratoconus as long as the eye muscles are working properly and no Cataracts or opaque in the eye lens due to corneal dystrophies. You need to make sure you don't have any optic nerve abnormalities too.
I have some Laser Protection safety glasses and they seem to help a *LOT*
I look goofy AF with them on in my office but IDC
Hello! I am currently trying to decide what I need to get for my prescription computer glasses. I believe I suffer from photophobia and am trying to decide if I should get anti-reflective / anti-glare, blue light filter or a simple TINT. Which one would you recommend for someone who suffers from eye strain and headaches/migraines? If a tint, WHICH ONE / COLOR?
You could definitely try the glasses I mentioned at the end of this video.
This could have not come at a better time for me! thank you for such a great video|! I am a bit confused with respect to what you mean regarding the power for the computer glasses - I am assuming this is different from a prescription correct? Just trying to understand why nest to get these from an eye doctor and how this "power" is determined. Thank you!
Great Question! I should have explained that part better. Your eye doctor can take your normal prescription glasses (that corrects for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism), and adjust the power so the focal point of the glasses is focused for your computer screen. Along the same lines of using "reading glasses", but based off of your exact prescription.
@@DrEyeGuy and if you do not have a prescription? I am not nearsighted and still do not need glasses for presbyopia
@Sophie Manolis you could still get a prescription for them. They would have a slight "plus" power or slight magnification to adjust the focal length. Some people with great vision can actually use mild reading glasses that you can get over the counter. They aren't the best, but it works for a lot of people.
@@DrEyeGuy great thank you! I will speak to my ophthalmologists to get myself a pair as I think they will help my dry eye and eye strain quite a bit!
@@DrEyeGuy one last question - if a prescription is provided, would that mean that you would always need to wear the glasses in order to see the computer well or is the prescription really just to help with the eye strain? Asking because I know that with glasses needed due to presbyopia once you start wearing them and your eyes gets used to them, it is difficult to see up close without them. With the prescription computer glasses however, does the same thing happen? would you need to always wear them to see the computer well? I hope what I am asking makes sense :)
I bought a PC desk that was 1 meter deep, so that there is more distance between myself and the screen than the average user.
Thats too far, your eyes will need more power to focus at that distance.
I blink ever 5 to 10 sec is that bad
I'd say that's pretty good if not average
