I’ve always suffered from headaches and I knew long hours staring at a screen were definitely not helping. I’m pretty good about turning on my blue light filter on my phone, but my computer monitor is a different story and I’d often notice my eyes feeling very fatigued.
I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical of blue light glasses at first, but so many of my favorite bloggers were talking about them, so I thought I’d give them a try!
I ordered this tortoiseshell pair from Amazon and also received this rose gold pair from Sojos [c/o] (unfortunately the rose gold is sold out right now in Canada at least, but they have been restocking the other colors – hopefully the rose gold will be back soon!)
After a month of wearing them I can definitely say I’ve noticed a difference! Eye strain certainly wasn’t responsible for all of my headaches, but I have been getting fewer of them and my eyes don’t feel nearly as tired even after hours in front of the computer screen. They also don’t really interfere with how things look on the screen, which is of course super important to me. Things look slightly more faded and lower contrast through the glasses, but there isn’t any obvious yellow cast.
Right now especially, since many of us are probably spending extra time looking at our various screens, it’s important to protect our eyes! I wear mine when working on the blog during the day, and also when playing video games at night so the blue light doesn’t disrupt my (already dicey) sleep schedule. Plus, I actually find they look quite cute!
