Computer eyeglasses - do they work?

I am contemplating getting computer eyeglasses to reduce eye strain. I've noticed it more since I came back from vacation and have been back to the grind.

Do these computer eyeglasses help? Is it better to get something similar, but as a screen protector for a computer monitor or laptop screen?

I need to do some research. I haven't got a clue. I do know that I'm much happier not looking at a computer screen for hours.

    Needing glasses for computer work comes to us all.
    You will probably look very school mistress'ly stern in glasses.

      I may need to either get new prescription glasses for my nearsightedness that also reduces blue light and glare.

      Thanks for the vote of confidence of my looking like a school mistress with glasses on. I like it!

    ...most laptop screens are too bright, and the more so if one did choose a mat screen... one should always choose a mat screen... and a number of laptops won't reduce that brightness beyond a point which is still too bright... desktop lighter is a free software which will further reduce the brightness... and moistening eyedrops at least once a day...

      Thanks for sharing these details with me, B. My work and personal laptops have glossy screens, so that's a huge issue.

      I'll try Desktop Lighter and see how that goes. Thanks for the suggestions! Otherwise, I'll need to get new eyeglasses with digital protection of some sort.

      Sadly, both are laptops. My lone monitor that I could plug either laptop into is also glossy. =(

    I don't know about actual "computer glasses" but I wear drugstore reading glasses for computer work. I use strength 2.00, while I need 2.50 for reading, they don't work for the computer. These glasses are quite cheap, so you could experiment.

    Hugs,

      I was thinking about getting a pair of computer glasses from Shoppers Drug Mart and see (haha!) how they go. Otherwise, I could get a new pair of glasses with digital protection that reduces glare and blue light.

    If you mean prescription eyeglasses for middle distance, yes, they do work. I had "piano glasses" with my prescription, just for middle distance, about 2-3 feet away from the source (piano music). The same would apply for computers.

      I am nearsighted, so I'm thinking that it's the glare or blue light from my work laptop that's causing my eye strain.
