Last year, my eye doc reported that I have very dry eyes. Didn't really realize this was a thing until I recognized the impact. Started doing some OTC treatments to add some moisture to my eyes. That seemed to help, but was taxing and I got lazy.
Started playing with various blue light blocking glasses. Eh, they were OK, hard to say they made a massive impact. Seems like the jury is still out on this whole topic on eye health and blue light. Then I picked up a lense with Blue-Violet Light AR (Crizal Prevencia) and I was pretty impressed. After a couple weeks, I would say I definitely felt a difference with my eyes and not being so fatigued. The downside though, these higher end AR's, cause a massive purple reflection. I work from home, largely on camera most of the day, and everyone would ask "why are you glasses purple"? This got super annoying, so I returned them.
Then I discovered Oakley's Prizm Gaming glasses. I have a couple Prizm sunglasses of theirs, and they are truly the best sunglasses on the market. I didn't realize such things existed and have expanded to two different colors of lenses (they make all kinds of lenses for different environment/activities). So I figured ok, if the sunglasses are that good, I bet these Gaming glasses might be good too.
Read a bunch, all very favorable reviews out there. Just got them yesterday, and I am quite surprised. They aren't as yellow as I was anticipating and they absolutely have a much softer feel while staring at screens all day. Won't really know for another 1-2 weeks how well they truly work, but I'm naively optimstic that they are gonna be good. I doubt I'll wear them outside of the house due to the fact that I am not Robert Downey Jr; however, for work + gaming, this may be a winner! It's definitely an adjustment though. It feels like you're viewing the world through your phones eye comfort/blue light setting. Just a nice suttle yellow tint to everything. As I take them off and look at my monitors without them or with my other glasses, it's surprsing how bright they are after viewing them through a tinted lense.
Just thought I'd share as clearly we're all gamers, and I'd assume a bunch of you work from home and sit behind monitors all day.
