Yeah, because she is wearing glasses with no tint, those reduce blue light only minimally (by about 10% maximum). Glasses with yellow tint reduce blue light by about 50%, those with orange tint by even more than that and those with red tint can block 100% of blue light (as well as azure and green light, i.e. a bit longer wavelengths than just blue). You can measure it with a spectrometer, if you place such a device near a computer screen, you will see peaks at the red, green, and blue wavelengths, but if you filter the light from the screen through blue light blocking glasses with a dark red tint, you will see it blocking 100% of the blue and green wavelengths and only letting through the red wavelengths. So this video is not true at all.
@elCapitanCZ you are brilliant man. How come no one talks these things ? This is the real power of comments section 🙂. So do you suggest that we get orange or red tint ? Please guide, Sir.
I got ones with dark red tint and wear them 90 minutes before sleep (the recommendation is 60-90 minutes before sleep). I now fall asleep in about 10-20 minutes, whereas before often times I didn’t fall asleep for hours (e.g. turning around in bed for 3 hours or so). You see the world in a funny way through these, though, for example if you are watching a movie with those on it looks almost like a black and white movie, only that it is "black and red", if you know what I mean. Dark red tint is perfect protection, whereas orange tint is in theory "near perfect" protection (like 90% of the effect). The manufacturer should include a certification report on their website / product page with charts of spectral analysis, showing how effectively the glasses block the blue, azure and green wavelengths (mine block all light up to a wavelength of about 570 nm). I.e. don’t just rely on the manufacturer’s claims, make sure they provide some data to back up those claims. Also, my glasses cover the entire eye, also from the sides (they almost look like cycling/snowboarding glasses, touching my facial skin in almost all places, not letting any blue light in even from the sides).
@@ElCapitanCZ Thank you so so much, Sir. I also have a serious problem falling asleep nowadays. 1. Would you recommend Orange tint during day and night for reading and digital purposes? Some people think it looks far too orangish. I am confused between yellow and orange tint for Digital reading actually. 2. Do you think orange can also be used for casual short distance driving sun glasses ? I think red will be far too strong 😊 for me. It will distort most colours including the laptop colours.
@@kgupta2205 During the day blue light is actually not harmful for you. The greatest source of blue light during the day is actually the sun itself, and it is healthy to stay outside at least several hours per day for your vision and mental health. So don’t worry about blue light during the day. You should strive to get as much blue light (and all other kinds of light) into your eyes during the day as possible and only block it 90 minutes before sleep. For reading off a digital screen before bed, I’d prefer the red tint ones, and that’s why I bought them, but that’s just me, I’m a bit of a perfectionist and wanted the 100% protection. But orange ones might work just as fine (didn’t try). As for driving, the manufacturer should state on their website / product page whether the glasses are suitable for driving or not. I wouldn’t imagine driving with the dark red tint ones on as my vision would be way too distorted. But yellow ones might provide partial blue light protection and still allow you to drive. But, just as an example, if you go to sleep at 10 pm and finish driving by 8 pm, you probably won’t need any "sleep enhancing" glasses at all. ;)
@@kgupta2205 I wrote you a rather long and elaborate response but now don’t see it, maybe RUclips removed it. I wrote that you don’t have to worry about blue light during the day as the sun itself is the greatest emitter of blue light anyway, so strive to get a lot of blue light and any other type of light into your eyes during the day, preferably by staying outside, as it’s good for your vision and mental health. If you finish driving approximately 2 hours before going to sleep, you don’t have to worry about blue light while driving either. And if you are going to use those glasses while driving, make sure they are suitable for it (the manufacturer should include this information on their website / product page). For example, it certainly wouldn’t be safe for me to drive with the dark red tint ones as my vision would be way too distorted.
My left ear really enjoyed this video
lollllll

Probably another BS marketing crap!
not really, they really do work. medical professionals have already proved it does in fact work
