Ask HN: Do you use glasses to protect your eyes from the screen reflection?
Hey HN community. I don't need prescription glasses, my eyesight is good. But I'm wondering if I need some sort of reflective glass anyways while I spent most of my day on the computer.
Do you use/recommend anything in particular? Thanks!
It’s called “anti-glare coating” for eyeglasses in the US. Works very well, at least for my eyes. I’m sure you could find non-prescription variants. The downside is the coating seems to last 3-5 years or so.
I use blue light glasses. They help reduce eye strain and evening headaches. A cheap pair from Amazon did the trick. It's worth trying if you're on screens all day!
Do bluelight glasses really work? Or are they just a ploy for it to be socially acceptable for people with 20/20 vision to wear glasses?
Do you use glasses to protect your eyes from the screen reflection?
No. I adjust the settings on my monitors. I wear glasses to protect from shrapnel when cutting, drilling, sawing, etc...
