Blue light blocking glasses

hello,

yes im your typical person, for my job in front of a screen all day, and my phone... then in the evening more staring at the screen, making it harder to fall asleep, anyone have any experience owning a pair? is it just a hype

I don't know about iPhone, but on all Android phones I think it's standard now that they come with Dark Mode, Eye Comfort Shield, and Extra Dim settings in the pull-down menu. Eye Comfort Shield removes the blue light from the screen and is mostly what you want. At night I turn all of those settings on and put my brightness as low as I can, without straining to read the screen.

For your PC, you can install Flux for free to do the same, removes the blue light from your screen and gives it a more yellowish tint. You can set it to gradually come on as the sun goes down based on your time and the time of year.

Just those 2 settings is going to eliminate 90% of your blue light, and much less of a hassle than putting on blue light glasses.

yes thnk you, i already do this with dimming the light settings on android phone and laptop. i guess the glasses could work for some, part of me think they work other just marketing.

also might sound a bit weird and  unnecessary, but im also thinking of wearing them if i go out clubbing (i dont go out often) but  there is a lot of bright, artifical lights in clubs so to minimise the exposure to them lol

I do and use them every evening. When I don't wear them I feel a lot more alert before bedtime and it's harder to sleep. I think you could get away with wearing them for clubbing, especially if they're stylish. Although ideally they should be wrap around to stop any stray blue light.
