Scientific consensus is that these aren't really beneficial.

I recognize an NYT article itself is hardly proof, but they link to numerous studies if you're interested.

I am surprised by their continued popularity.
Seem to be a real uptick in SD posts about Gunnar too- are they an affiliate? or just the price drop post-fad makes it seem like a good buy?

if you like the style and need the magnification there's no harm to have blue filter I imagine.
Scientific consensus or not, 70% off is a pretty slick deal!
Do you have any source(s) I could read? I'm open to being wrong, but everything I've seen in recent years leans toward it having no benefits.

Ex:"The study also found no evidence to support that these filters have any impact on retinal health."

I put these on, my eyes don't hurt from the bright blue light. I take them off, my eyes ache after awhile.

Night modes help a lot on screens, but I couldn't live with tech without some kind of blue-light glasses. Our eyes were never designed to stare at rapidly flickering light sources.

So, "scientists" can say what they want, but personally I've found blue-light blocking glasses as amazing in our lives filled with tech screens.

If people are unsure of the technology, no one's forcing anyone to buy them. It's not meant to be a new-age convincing new philosophy thread. If you're unsure of the feature, please don't buy it and save the store inventory for others.

BINGO. Reality is stronger than occasional individual scientific theories. These just work.

"Expert Science" is the study of past historical facts. New discoveries are rarely based on "expert science". Most new inventions are based on accidental practical discoveries.

We should only trust the opinions of experts.

Which is exactly why incandescent is better than LED; it emulates natural light more closely

they're not efficient at producing light..a lot of wattage to heat the filament

What strength do you recommend for someone who just turned 40?

Do you wear glasses? If not, stick to the lower range.

I've been wearing blue light glasses for over 10 years several hours of the day and like the others here... they are hugely critical in eye strain (along with other factors obviously), especially nowadays with bright LED lights everywhere.
I take them off during the day when I need to be more alert. I would partly credit my perfect vision despite being a computer geek for all my life to blue light glasses.

Instead of believing some garbage NYT article and dumb people in labcoats arguing with each other, try experimenting yourself. Everyone is going to have their own hot take on things but best you can trust is your experience. Anyway, these glasses are not a slick deal.

These are solid frames. I bought a pair last year because every other year my vision insurance covers lenes only. I just had the lenes replaced and with my prescription lenes.
I'm picking up a pair for the next time.

their eyes didn't fall out, but they are all dead now, so....

First hand experience, placebo or not, is that I have less eye strain and headache when wearing these. Noticeable difference when I take them off and stare at a screen too
