Do computer glasses really help? — PC World

It is common to see offers to purchase computer glasses, which supposedly protect the eyes from various harmful light spectra and radiation, and supposedly reduce eye strain, making everything better:smile20:. I would like to know if anyone has tried using them? Is it worth wearing glasses while working at an LCD monitor?

I have them, and I didn't notice any difference, actually, quite the opposite – at first, it felt a bit uncomfortable, but it seems like they do have some effect. Now my mom watches TV in them all the time.

And what brand of glasses would you recommend buying?

I read somewhere that eyes get tired not so much from the monitor's glow, but from the fact that a person blinks less often while working at a computer, because their attention is focused on the image on the screen. The eyes simply dry out, which is why they turn red. If this is true, then no glasses will help.

Also, it's harmful to look at a monitor in the dark, because the contrast between the bright screen and the dark room is very strong, and the pupil may not react appropriately.

Only good, high-quality (not cheap) monitors really help. And there should always be proper backlighting. Choose one that suits you. You'll feel how much more pleasant it is for your eyes. Glasses, protectors – all nonsense. It's just a way to rip off fools.

Do you mean that the monitor should be good and an LCD?

A decent one will do, as long as it has an LCD screen. IMHO.

I don’t think LCD helps much. Again, IMHO.

Well, I don't know, but my eyes get less tired when I look at it; that's a fact.

The most important thing is that they get tired, which means their eyesight does deteriorate after all.

Siverfale)Of course, things deteriorate. Over a person's lifetime, everything gradually *deteriorates*)))
But there are main rules for working at a computer!
I have defined them as follows:
1) The most important thing is a good monitor! I won't even talk about CRT monitors anymore =)
Because the main *component* of your PC is the monitor. Let the system unit be an old one, but the monitor must be good. These are your eyes. I advise you to buy one for at least 11,000-12,000 rubles.
2) Proper lighting!!! Choose it for your eyes, feel what is most pleasant.
3) 1 hour of work = 5 minutes of rest!!! Walk around the room, do some stretching!
4) System unit at the bottom
5) Try to minimize the noise level as much as possible.
6) Don't get nervous!!! Everything you see on the internet isn't worth it))))

Good thing I have an LCD monitor.
P.S.: My eyes never get tired, even though I spend hours in front of it.

If your eyes get tired, you should reduce the brightness and contrast. This is especially effective when spending a long time online or playing for a long time without a break. But if you're just playing for an hour or checking your email, it's not that important.

Mine get tired if the image is too bright, and if I sit without a break for more than 8 hours. Damn Oblivion!
Update: Vortex also wrote about brightness.
