I think using my monitor has been causing me slight headaches for a little while now... or kind of a numbness I guess but not painful... and with my aging eyes maybe its time. My current pair are for mid-to-far. Since they are basic work glasses and nothing fancy lenscrafters... who I have never used before... can make them up quickly. Otherwise the optometrist I have used will take two weeks and I dont know if they would be any better for basic glasses. Unchileno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me headaches after a couple minutes. Starts just behind my eyeball and it will turn into a full blown headache about 5 minutes later if i keep looking at it. Selecting Warm Color Tone #2 in my monitors settings seems to help alot. If the text was a bit bolder it would not be as bad. LED monitors bright blueish back light is almost as bad as those damn piercing Blue Car headlights. FUNky and Blackbart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Tried it and It helps a little but it goes from red to orange to yellowish. Still pretty damn bright. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027563/windows-10-set-your-display-for-night-time Wonder if my 27" Samsung SyncMaster SA550 has blue-light protection? My neighbor gave it to me for fixing his lawn mower. It has a bunch of stuff in the options. I don't know wtf most of it does. https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/sa550-series-s27a550h/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Seems a few tech companies and a tech college are working on monitors that can be focused. Meaning you plug in your glasses prescription and its in focus. No more glasses, well, at least for computer work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It's an abstract of a very serious consumer's magazine testing all kind of products and giving ranking of them (they don't accept any advertising and only live from subscriptions). What it says in conclusion, it's that you can't find any glasses giving a protection of more than 20% (the ones from Essilor as stated by themselves, one of the biggest and most innovative optical companies). It means that wearing these glasses will allow you to stay 1h12 instead of 1h in front of your screen without dangerousness. PS: and the best to try to fix it is to monitor the settings of the screen to lower the blue light (as done by @iboomboom) Edited June 3, 2019 by VHS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
