Amazon.com: FEIYOLD Blue Light Blocking Glasses Women/Men,Retro Round Anti Eyestrain Computer Gaming Glasses(Black+Blue) : Health & Household (original) (raw)
I wasn't sure what to expect when buying blue light blocking glasses for the first time, but I knew I needed them. I struggled with headaches for a few years now, and I usually get them every 2 weeks on average. My eyes would also feel very tired, achy, dry, and irritated at the end of those days, and I also in general would just feel exhausted! I attributed these headaches to many things - maybe dehydration, lack of sleep, stress, too much sweets, anything except screen times. I honestly didn't have a clue my screen time could've been the issue.
Fast forward a bit, and my partner comes to visit me for the summer of this year. My phone and screen time usage goes from 8+ hours a day (bad.. I know.. but I've been doing school and work online due to current circumstances) to 3-4 hours a day, and even then I am happily occupied and away from the screen. Suddenly, after a few weeks, I realized my headaches disappeared completely! I asked my partner about this, and they told me I probably was experiencing screen time headaches. I then vaguely remembered as a kid after a few too many hours watching cartoons, I also would get these piercing headaches.
Now, it took me awhile to finally do something about it, but this week after yet another screen time headache (my partner is back at their home and school is back in full force) I decided to make this purchase. It's been a few days since using these glasses, and I already noticed a big difference! I'm a contact lense user, and by the 4th hour of wearing before using these glasses my eyes would be so tired and irritated. I can now wear them for much longer, and I haven't experienced a headache or tired eyes yet. My productivity is up a lot, and I feel I can finally use my computer without worrying about it.
I gave this product five stars, though I do want to note a few things. These glasses are medium-large, so if you have a small face I would potentially search for a different style. They also are on the heavier side, and can annoy me after extended use. Lastly, they smudge very easily, However, they did include extra goodies, such as a case, lense cleaner, cloth lense cover, mini glasses repair screw, blue light testing card and blue light, so a four stars doesn't feel justified. Plus, it comes with two glasses.
If you're like me and debated making the purchase, then do it! It's helped a lot. :-)
