  3. I have some anti-blue light glasses for screen time use, but I tend to be a bit skeptical regarding the effectiveness. Do you have any recommendations for companies you trust and/or certification to look for?

Chris: Yes, I’m actually wearing—these glasses are not blue light blocking. They have a clear crystalline coat because I don’t want to block the blue light in the daytime, but I find that I get eyestrain, so they have a crystalline coat that has a slight magnification, and it diffuses use eyestrain. I feel better when I’m looking at the computer a lot more and wearing them. They’re from a company called Gunnar. I’m not sure how they pronounce it. They make glasses primarily targeted to gamers and they have different coatings. You can check out their website. They’ve got this one which is clear, no blue light restriction. They’ve got one that’s called Niquet I think that does about 15 percent restriction. They’ve got one which that’s more like, I think 35 and then another one that’s 60 or 70. I think that’s a reliable company. Swannic I think is pretty reliable. A lot of the amber-tinted glasses will reduce blue light. It’s not a very technical or difficult thing for a company to do to make glasses that. I’ve just found that the Gunnar ones are more expensive, but they’re also— I like the fit better, and they’re more durable. They’re better made, and they have more options in terms of coating. They clearly lift the value of blue light restriction on their website, which not everybody does, and I appreciate that.
