- So sorry for the autofocus on this video. My camera has been acting up. Thank you for understanding
I get asked this question all the time and it was time to dedicate a video to answering it. No, there are no long term effects to the quality of your vision if you wear computer glasses. Digital Eye Strain is a real problem and computer glasses can help. In this video I'll give you an opticians perspective to how computer glasses work and how you may become dependent on them.

Sorry for the issue with my Autofocus everyone. My camera was acting up.
ha! you almost got me there! I was like "woah! I definitely need glasses!" and then I saw this comment...
The camera is fine :) You need to move a bit further away from it and maybe close your aperture a bit :P
@@MaximBelkin, Haha same here.
Glad you addressed that! hahaha I was like bruh
pro tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
This has been such a great watch! So informative and covered all questions that came to mind as you were talking. Keep up the great work and thanks again for the full in-depth explanation.
Thanks for the honest reviews! My ophthalmologist agrees and said I don't need them but I wanted to wear a pair for work and video games, anyway.
Your videos are the best man. Keep up the good work! Very informative and good quality content.
i never experienced eye strain until quarantine that I spent so much time working on my computer & phone 📲 thank you for this I will definitely check out those computer glasses for my eyes.
Thank you I found your channel a few days ago and have cleared so many questions
It's just what I've been looking for! So helpful, bunch of thanx?
Here to serve. :)
you answered mine question. thanks for your time. I work with my PC all day long, will get pair of gunnar
Thank you Sir.very informative..I got myself a gunnar phantom and enjoying it throughout
Glad to help any way I can. I'm happy to hear the glasses are working for you.
Nice informative . Loved it ❤️ subscribed. Make more video on eye quality
Hahah! A video about eye focus with a faulty autofocus :P Nice information! I have been researching about computer glasses that are available in India and have zeroed in on Gunnar (as felix gray is not available). I work in the IT sector for around 8-9 hrs daily on computer. Although I don't really get major eye fatigue, I feel that prevention is always better than cure. Thanks for the wonderful video :) Keep uploading and really appreciate your channel. Subscribed !
That autofocus was bad. Sorry. Thanks for the support!
Bro iam also fron india iam experiencing eye pain and irritated eyes i have zeiss blue light blocking glasses it doesn't even block i think this glass only blocks 20 % bluelight. Did you bought gunnar glasses? iam planning to buy gunnar optiks is there any zero power glasses in gunnar? i dont have any problem in my vision but gunnar optiks has power where can i get zero power gunnar glasses?
Very well spoken thank you.
loved the way u explained
Thank you for your useful video.Of course, I bought a pair of computer glasses from bluebyby some time ago and I have no problems with them until now
Hey great videos! Helped me to understand some things I didn't have idea they exist haha. The thing is I have a question, as you said in some videos talking about Gunnar glasses and it's little magnification to help focus at close range (20-24") so that makes them great for computer use (bc that's their purpose), but is there any problem if you want to use them to drive at night? Will they affect my vision if using them this way or is it safe to do it?
I'm a student and I have many of the symptoms you mentioned (including difficulty sleeping) due to long studying sessions both with a laptop an without and I know I do not need a prescription. I'm thinking of buying the Spektrum which were the winner of your under $40 which also offer magnification now. The thing I wanted to ask you is that is a 0.50 magnification (the lowest they offer besides no magnification) a lot? Will it cause problems? Because as you mentioned many times the Gunnars for example have a 0.25 magnification and that is largely what helps eyes being focused but 0.50 is double of that
can u explain what is the difference between expensive bluelight / computer glasses?
What if you had those for like 10+ years? Could you still make your eyes not strain without them?
thanks man....a true thank
spot on explanation
Great video.
Does small frame glasses cause more fatigue eye than large frame? Because when i wear small frame my eye feel fatigue faster than large one. I think small frame limit my vision to see thing narrow. then my eye keep focus in small point and cause to eye fatigue. Could you please confirm my thoughts ?
Would I be able to buy gaming/computer glasses from a eyeglasses store or can I only buy them online. My job provides eyewear budget Just wondering
So nicely explain 👍👍👍
Thank you!
Can u tell me why would one suffer from eye strain even after 10 minutes use of screen
The answer is at 5:40 for anyone interested in skipping to it
So I have been wearing Gunnars for over 5 years. At first it was just for gaming but then I started to feel the need to wear them out to movies/concerts and then eventually all the time(I had 20/20 vision). My frames are currently broken and I am looking at my phone right now and everything is just seems off. I'm just a little afraid that I have permanently damaged my vision. I had no idea the lenses had a .25x magnification until I watched your video. I am definitely dependant on them and I don't want to try any other brands because I'm so used to the Gunnar lenses. I'm currently trying to get replacement frames but I feel like I'll have to wear them for the rest of my life and I'm a little unnerved right now.
hi, can you please provide an update? I'm considering getting Gunnars... I work on a screen several hours a day.
Any opinions on Shamir Relax lenses and how/if they would compare? Thanks!
Haven’t tried those yet. I know the Shamir Blue Zero is a good choice. I’ll look into the relax lens. Thanks!
How can I tell if a pair of blue light filtering glasses has magnification or not? I am looking for blue light filtering glasses on amazon and noticing sporadic reviews on certain brands saying the pairs have magnification while other people say there is none. I was looking at Duco glasses and J + S glasses. I had lasik and my eyes have been a mess since. I’m on the computer for work 9 hours a day and need some relief but I’m not sure which inexpensive glasses for blue light filtering I should try. So many options!
To the trained eye, power in the lens is immediately noticeable by simply looking through the lens. For everyone else, you'll need a machine to verify if the lens has power or not. The instrument is called a Lensometer.
As a quick guide, if you paid less than $50 USD then there is a 90% chance you have lenses without power. J+S Vision frames are pretty good but they have a very limited frame selection.
Pixel is good and so are Felix Gray. Kooper Eyewear is on the up and up so check them out too.
Hope this helps! I loved you in Back to the Future btw haha
I suffer from astigmatisms and I am currently wearing 4 year old bifocals. I can’t afford corrective surgery, what would be the best glasses to help with dizziness and itchy eyes?
It could all be unrelated Stan. You may just need to get your prescription updated. There are quite a few low cost options available these days. Start by getting you eyes checked then see how that helps.
I watched a lot of your videos, it's great!
I trust u, can u make a video that include and contain all tips for glass alternative,.
I mean when i do couple things, i don't need glass, can u tell us what all these things?
Yes, more eye health related videos coming soon. In those videos I'll talk about alternatives to wearing glasses to reduce digital eye strain.
@@EyeInfluence oooooh I will be waiting , I'm sure it will be amazing videos.
Trusting and loving u from jordan
YASSS Ithis is how I think lol I think to myself I have 20/20 will these hurt my vision in the long term haha you sir think like me haha 2nd video of yours ive watched, love the content!
@Kyle Kowalsky You may have 20/20, but you seem unable to find the comma key. Read your comment back out loud. A period or two would be welcome as well.
hey bro, if computer glasses help eyes to stay relaxed on short distance, is there a point of buying them if you stay around 2,5 m away from the screen ?
For anything further than arms length away (usually 2 ft) you don't want to have your eyes converged. If you don't need the power, don't use it for that.
What about Pixel Eyewear?
Thx for this video. I have a question for you. I have clear vision, but I spending a lot of time in front of computer. So, I bought Gunnar glasses, and then I wear glasses my eyes getting tired. Can you answer why?
The Gunnar lenses have a slight magnification that some people can’t tolerate. Try going with a nonpowered lens.
@@EyeInfluence Thank you!
@@EyeInfluence one more question. can these glasses damage my vision?
sorry for my english
computer glass
blue light blocking glass
in one?
1 glasses allfunction?
Felix Gray and Gunnar offer eyewear that are both blue light blockers and "computer glasses" since they can be ordered with a slight magnification. Hope this helps.
@@EyeInfluence thanks Godbless your cHannel
Since I have a normal vision, are the glasses from gunner and felix still going to be little bit magnified to help reduce the strain even after I've selected "none" as the option for prescription lens. Thanks
All gunnar lenses have the magnification while Felix Gray will give you the choice. After you select No prescription with Felix Gray, you'll be given the option to get the magnification or not.
Can you wear these types of glasses preferable computer glasses while wearing contacts
Yes you can. You still may find that the magnification in some computer glasses cause an unwanted effect but that has nothing to do with wearing contacts. You'll just have to try it to see if you are sensitive to the magnification.
My doctor says my vision is fine. But I still face dry eye. Should I buy any standard computer glass ? Any suggestions would great help 😕
A lot of eye doctors are overlooking digital eye strain. Since the cause isn’t found in the health or external appearance of the eye they tend to downplay it.
Computer glasses can help but I would actually start by incorporating breaks every 15-20 minutes. Rest your eyes by blinking and looking away from the screen. Combine that with computer glasses and you should see a big improvement.
@@EyeInfluence can you recommend the brand pls
I’m a huge Felix Gray fan. They offer lenses with or without magnification. Start with and if you don’t like it you can switch it out.
@@EyeInfluence thank you for suggestions. I'll give it a try. Pls make a video on improving the eye quality. 🤗 ❤️
Does Pixel have the magnification?? Love all your videos!
No, they do not. But they can make prescription lenses for you for a little extra money.
@@EyeInfluence thank you
Hi i have 1.25 and 1.5 prescription , can i go for 2x magnification
A +2.00 would be too strong for you. I would stick to what you've been using to not strain your eyes with too much correction.
Good
is there such a thing as computer and blue light glasses all in one?
Gunnar and Felix Gray offer blue light protection. I just wanted to make sure I made the difference clear. Computer glasses don't prioritize blue light protection but that doesn't mean they don't offer that. Felix Gray lenses block 50% and Gunnar has 65, 30 and 10% BPF lenses.
If you wear prescription lenses then you can have custom computer glasses made with coatings such as Shamir Blue Zero. That will give you blue light protection.
I hope that helps.
My regular eye prescription is +.75 and my pc screen is 24 to 30 inches...what power of computer glasses would I need...I am of 30 age
Most likely you can just leave your prescription as is, since it's already correcting for near vision, and just speak to your optician about making the lenses using your near PD.
Keep in mind that this isn't recommended for glasses that you'll be wearing all the time, like driving, watching TV and everything else distance related.
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Eye Influence
Thanks for answering.
I am telling you that +.75 is my regular eye power means I already have farsightedness which my doctor has advised to wear all day long
@@anshulrajawat Your doctor is correct. You're naturally Far Sighted which means your +.75 is already correcting to sharpen your near vision. You wouldn't want to add any more power to that. That's why my suggestion is to leave your prescription as is and, if you can, make a separate set of computer glasses that will have the optical center decentered to help with extended computer use.
At 30 years old, you don't need much else. Just use that +.75 Rx that your doctor gave you and combine it with an Anti-Reflective coating, a blue light blocker of your choice (AR or built into the lens) and you'll be good to go.
To save 16 minutes of your life: "It will NOT hurt your vision, but will have dependency on computer glasses to mitigate eye strains".
Video is too elaborate, and need get to the point.
Thank you. Good job 👍
😊🙌
LOVE YOU!
So overtime you will need them but only in front of a screen roght?
@@zac_qc365 Your body doesn't need them for protection, but your habit does because you've grown to seeing tinted color in front of a screen.
WHY THE HELL CANT WE HAVE GLASSES LIKE GUNNARS WITH NO GAD DAM PRESCRIPTION BUT WITH THE OPTION TO ADD ANY CURRENT OR LATER PRESCRIPTIONS?!?!?!!
I really like your glasses dude, what are they?
why di you use auto focus >:C
couldnt watch after a while cos of the autofocus thing but useful info nonetheless
I am really really sorry about that. I'm still upset over it. Thank you for the support. Thanks for the support.
@@EyeInfluence no probs
It's not just me right? There are several times where the camera seems to shift focus, from beard, to eyes, to computer behind you.
Or I just need glasses waaaaaay worse than I thought!
His camera keeps trying to autofocus. You are not going crazy.
Yeah. Sorry about that. It was driving me crazy during editing. My camera has been acting up. That will be corrected in upcoming videos.
7:54 - 20 20 20 rules (I've also see the same note in another video)
You do not want to magnify your glasses at the computer. You want lower magnification the Bateman method to improve eyesight over time. Just stay further away from the computer screens BLUE LIGHT damaging effects and where lower prescription. Take lots of brakes away from your computer and move your eyes around often. People that where glasses subconsciously do not blink or move their eyes around for some strange reason. When I am not at my computer I take off my glasses entirely and sky gaze through my Phuket Garden canopy Earthing on my back with intermittent palming using a soft cloth over my closed eyes to mover the red light ball up and over my third eye pineal gland. I am on the market to buy BLUE BLOCKERS ONLY THAT FIT OVER MY GLASSES. WRAP AROUND ARE BEST FOR PROFIRIAL PROTECTION FROM THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF BLUE LIGHT. Thank you Holistic Chef Barry Anderson your Good Earth Chef and Friend for LIFE ...
😊
Actually Gunnar is stating that their glasses over a magnification in their FAQ page (gunnar.com/faqs/) "The slight magnification helps the eyes muscles to not struggle and corrects blurry vision". I also somehow knew that the magnification is 0.25 before I watch your other video, but I don't know if I had found this info on their site or somewhere else.
Funny thing is, when a question is obviously so common, isn't that an indication that Gunnar is doing a bad job of informing people about it? I mean, that's such an important element to their lenses and people have to ask in order to get a clear answer. That's why I made the Gunnar video; to make it clear that Gunnar has that power in the lens. :)
Maybe one day it won't have to be in the FAQ because they will tell people in a clear and easy to understand manner. And hopefully they give people the chance to go without the power for the same price. Currently you'd have to pay extra to have no power in the lens.
Supar sir ji
For me, blue light blocking glasses are more for regulating my sleeping patterns, If I can avoid it I won't use an lcd screen after sunset as the blue light inhibits melatonin production and stops me from sleeping well.. which in turn makes me drink coffee! Funny how those two things are interconnected.
It truly is a lifestyle adjustment more than a eyewear solution. You're doing the right thing.

5:34 to answer the title
While the information does seem reliable and honest, there is a Gunnar affiliate link in the description so he may be enclosed to say positive things about the product to encourage you to buy them.
Your camera needs glasses :)
I'm thinking I need to remake this video. What do you think? Honestly. These videos are going to be around a while so I'm thinking it's better to remake it now.
@@EyeInfluence nah don't worry about it - you video does what it should - it helps people. The rest doesn't matter , it's like having the right prescription but a slightly out of style frame 😋😎😊👍
@@Timurtugalev_travelfilmmaker Thank you!
No no no. Thats NOT how sleep works. Sleeping longer is not the solution to need less coffee. Sleeping better is the solution to that. Sleeping even amount of hours and with a better bed, mattress and pillow. Not longer. Otherwise good vid.
الكمبيوتر رضي الله عنه
just listen and don't watch screen, funny, my eyes straining to focus your video content
Good video but you keep on repeating the same concept could have been finished in three minutes
Guys computer glasses magnifine which is very bad thing 😡😡 which hurt your eyes
If I were to make this video it would have been at least 10 minutes shorter. You got to stop repeating stuff so much. Stay to the point what you made this video for!
I appreciate the feedback. Really do. Being a good RUclipsr means constantly learning from past videos and making adjustments on new ones. I'm doing that.
Hopefully you subscribe. Our community needs people with honest opinions.
Thanks again.
@@EyeInfluence your information is very well presented but only thing is that they are lengthy. Try to stay within 7 minutes to maintain the focus of viewers.
I have bought computer glasses after watching your videos (gunnar intercept). They just got delivered yesterday!
