>2017 >not protecting your eyes from harmful digital UV

>>58694993
My gf got me a pair of these. I wear them and have no complaints

>>58694993
My contacts have 100% UV protection.

Literally on my fucking eyeballs

My specs have a purple sheen what's that?

Do these actually work or is it just a meme?

Every single pair of glasses, and contact lenses made have a UV blocking coating.

What I think OP was hinting at is called Blue Blocker which blocks certain blue light the same way yellow tinted glasses do, but without the tint.

I plan on getting a pair to try out

So I'm supposed to see in GB colors now, and not in RGB?

>Digital UV rays
Explain why LCD emits UV rays.

>>58695236
Fuck I meant RG and not GB ofcourse.

No need for this, my monitor has blue light reduction

I don't like how they look when they reflect the blue light, the lenses become violet.
I'm considering getting a pair of glasses with blue light filtering to use at home only and another pair without it to use outside the house.

>>58694993
Why would I wear retarded glasses instead of just turning the blue level down on my monitor itself?

You can also use software like f.lux.
And Apple is also going to put in a blue light filtering feature in macOS called Night Shift.

I've worn glasses with UV protection since forever and I use f.lux on my PC and Twilight on my phone at night.

>>58699838
Thank you. This aesthetic appeals to me. But I fear is still harmful.

>>58699541
I feel like doing it at the software level is kind of a shitty way to do it…

thankfully ddccontrol lets me change my (desktop) monitor's settings from OS

>>58695182
>Block blue light
>Can see still blue normally through the lens

I call bullshit, the yellow is the absence of blue, it's necessary. When I use the bluelight reduction feature on my monitor, that dims the blue subpixels, it turns yellow.

>>58700249
this

an equal amount of red, green and blue = white
take away blue and you have an equal amount of red and green, which equals yellow
if you can see white, it's not blocking blue, since blue is a component of white

>>58700249
>>58700305
They block a certain high frequency that's close to UV, and the same kind of blue that is uncomfortable to human eyes.

>>58700330
Well I wikipedia'd that shit to see how much that could make sense. Visible light begins at 400nm and UV light ends at 400nm. So I'd imagine any UV blocking lenses worth a shit would cover up to 400nm. And if you go higher than that, you'll be blocking visible blue light and tinting the glasses.

So what do these glasses do? Barely block blue light so they can be normal UV blocking glasses while also cashing in on the "blue blocking" buzzword that's taking the market by storm?

I'm not convinced of the benefits of totally blocking blue, and I'd be even less convinced of the benefits of blocking blue a teeny weeny bit.

Who else /20/20/ here?

>>58700528
well why dont you buy those glasses and find out?
they are very inexpensive.

I wear 50% yellow tint around the office, and regular elsewhere. I personally bought 4 new pairs right before they announced their new coating, otherwise I would have given them a try.

>>58700999
How would I even know they are working though? I don't get eye strain or fatigue looking at my monitor.

only outdoors and light reflecting monitors or light bleed monitors.

aka get a oled for tn(has lightbleed but atleast it doesnt have literal crt cancer)

I have the same kind of glasses with the anti blue light coating. You can tell if your glasses has one if you see a purple-like sheen when holding it at an angle. It does make things look a little yellowish or warmer but it's very subtle and you hardly notice it. I'm not really sure if it works though. It's supposed to help with eye fatigue.
