Hi, What glasses do you recommend to wear for computer? I used to use computer with naked eyes. As you know for people with myopic related macular degeneration reading with naked eyes is much easier.
The problem of reading with naked eyes might be the blue light and the eye fatigue. Do you have recommendations of glasses in my situation? (I am thinking about glasses without prescription, versus the glasses with degrees.)
Thank you and hope you well and and healthy.
I use yellow polarised clip-ons which I find more comfortable. Might be worth trying.
Hello Tetrazzini,
Would you mind sharing where you got them from please. Seen some on-line but not sure how good they are.
Cheapo from Amazon - £5 - £10. Magic words are yellow and polarised.
Thanks Tetrazzini, am really looking for cli-on or overglasses to wear when using my laptop - not wanting polarised.
I have amd and have blue blockers on my glasses which I use for both reading and computer. You can purchase uv screen covers for your screen but I have read mixed reviews of them. I hope this helps.
This link goes to the - Zennioptical.com - webpage on computer Blue Light blocking lenses they make.
I ordered a pair made with the least expensive blue blocking, lenses with a script for reading, it really helps, you can order those blue light blocking glasses with out any correction.
Hope this helps
Holly
Hello, have you had any luck? I have been getting really bad eye strain lately when using my laptop. I have bought blue-blockers from the States before and found I had to pay a lot of import duty. Finding it a problem finding a UK based company on-line can only find them on Amazon or Ebay
Hello myopic-related-md,
Individuals with a macular related condition tend to develop a heightened sensitivity to glare. The glare is produced by the blue light in the spectrum. Ordinary sunglasses protect against the UV but not the blue light. Therefore, individuals can find that they can end up trying to eradicate the discomfort from the glare by wearing ordinary sunglasses which are too dark for the lighting conditions, thereby obscuring their vision. The way to potentially address this is to choose spectacles from the anti-glare protection range, as they both protect against the blue light in the spectrum and the UV, and come in a range of shades. Therefore, an individual can either choose to purchase one shade or various for different lighting conditions.
Anti-glare protection comes in a variety of styles of frames; however, fit-overs are handy when an individual already wears spectacles. In terms of colour choice, as an indication, e.g. yellow anti-glare fit-overs are generally good for indoor use as they do not reduce the amount of light coming in; reduce glare, increase contrast and definition. They are also suitable for outdoor use on a dull day when glare may still be an issue, but there is not adequate natural light to wear a darker shade. On a brighter day out an orange pair of fit-overs may be advisable, followed by an amber pair on a very bright day out. Booklet link copied below:
