    Hello, any advice on how to eliminate foggily glasses caused by the use of face masks? Thanks!

  2. mina86 on September 17, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    I just use redshift to lower temperature of my display. I have it configured to 4k during the day and 3k during the night. The image looks rather red if you’re not used to it, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
    I think Windows now has this feature built in somewhere in settings (though I dunno how configurable it is) plus there’s also f.lux.

  3. Bad_Robot on September 17, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    Apparently my monitor has anti blue eye feature. Not sure how true that is but the screen dims and turns a slightly yellow colour when its activated.

  4. Bharath Kumar on September 17, 2020 at 10:34 pm

    Sir my eye sight is about 5,and my glasses looks like a magnifying glass,is there any possibility to make it thin….?

  8. Kraken Blox on September 17, 2020 at 10:40 pm

  12. Otie Brown on September 17, 2020 at 10:44 pm

    Assuming you confirm 20/50, or better, wear a plus lens (computer) glasses to prevent entry into myopia. Study by Dr. Francis Young.

  13. Prince Mahin on September 17, 2020 at 10:45 pm

    My eyes really hurt after a day of school because the school I’m in is all through computer (and that was before covid) I’m actually dying😭😂

  16. Manisha Bisht on September 17, 2020 at 10:50 pm

    Just before this video I watched a video from Marketplace in which they are talking to some experts from eye research area and claiming that these blue light lenses are a big scam. Manufacturers of these lenses have spread false info to scare people so that they can sell such lenses.

  17. Kaustubh Chandel on September 17, 2020 at 10:53 pm

    Can you tell me if i am a student i should use anti-glare glass or blue cut glass

  18. Fauzi Fayyad on September 17, 2020 at 10:53 pm

    Nice content doc

  19. King JoJo on September 17, 2020 at 10:55 pm

    So I have 20/20 vision and never considered wearing glasses because I don’t need them. But I’m on my computer all day for school work and I get headaches and eye strains at times… I recycle got some blue light glasses that are clear lenses. Do you think it’s needed for one to have pair of blue light glasses? Not to sure if I need them or not. Don’t want to harm affecting my eyes.?

  20. douxenvalor on September 17, 2020 at 10:57 pm

    hello. what is the difference between anti-radiation glasses and blue light glasses?

  21. Keshav Thakur on September 17, 2020 at 11:00 pm

    hey doc ….i am a computer science engineering student and have to do most of my work on pc and due to current scenario the work load has increased a lot….my eyes are perfectly fine but sometimes i get headache while working on my laptop for a longer period of time(*SOMETIMES*)… should i opt for computer glasses….i don’t want anything permanently.

  22. Natjimo on September 17, 2020 at 11:00 pm

    or you can buy a screen that allows you to change the settings however u like…

  23. theworddoner on September 17, 2020 at 11:00 pm

    Thank you for this information. I wasn’t aware of computer glasses. I just have blue light filter glasses and have noticed some strain when I’m in front of my computer.

    Thank you for this information!

  24. Un Known on September 17, 2020 at 11:01 pm

    Many people claim that computer eyeglasses are the same as anti blue light

  25. ak27 on September 17, 2020 at 11:03 pm

    What is the difference between having magnification to help with convergence vs a prism vs a small ADD in the bottom (like Essilor anti fatigue/sightrelax)? I had a concussion and was given a 2 fresnel prism and told to wear them with a no rx lenses for computer work (I am nearsighted with a -2.00 rx for distance). However I was also told I would benefit from a small ADD of 0.6 for my distance lenses, but not to put the fresnel on my distance lenses. Would combining computer glasses with the 0.25 magnification along with the prism potentially provide additional benefit? When would you choose a fresnel prism over magnification for up close reading and vice versa? Similarly when would you choose the 0.25 magnification over the 0.4 ADD (0.4 is the lowest available) of the anti fatigue lenses? From my understanding they all help with convergence but with different mechanisms. There seems to be so many opinions it’s very difficult as a consumer to navigate! Thanks for helping to demystify the eyecare world with your videos!

  26. AstroJade on September 17, 2020 at 11:03 pm

    Actually i was given a choice by the eye clinic to choose a total blue type glass and a clear looking glass(with the filter)
    and i ended up going for the total clear one. Now my eyes gets super sensitive when i see white color.
    I am thinking of going for the yellow shaded type glasses, hopefully they reduce the stress completely.

  31. heavyglassglass on September 17, 2020 at 11:08 pm

    So in addition to my prescription for distance ( -.75/-1.00) I should get a set for reading? I have the most trouble reading my computer, but it’s mostly straining

  32. Christian Fisco on September 17, 2020 at 11:10 pm

    I still not understanding… Yellow crystal ones do the same as the non yellow ones? Being both Blue light blockers? Like for programming (with – 0+) Please someone answer me!

  33. Dalton Brown on September 17, 2020 at 11:11 pm

    So if I just turn on a blue light filter on my pc/phone would it be okay to just wear a pair of glasses with a lowered diopter?

  34. Chuggi on September 17, 2020 at 11:13 pm

    Here you can watch This doctor explain blue light does not harm your eyes and that blue-blocking glasses do nothing. that eye strain is because we are staring at a screen for so long without taking breaks. He refers to doing a 20-20-20 In 20 minutes take a 20-second break while looking 20 feet away This is the dr name >>> SUNIR J. GARG, MD

    Hey doctor i have doubt….eye floaters will not cure?

  50. Nathalie Poortman on September 17, 2020 at 11:26 pm

    I use normal prescription glasses with a blue light filter coating on them for every day, it helps filter the extra stimulus when going about my day. and gives me more peaceful feeling throughout the day then normal prescription glasses.
