      HI, I'm hoping someone can answer this for me as I am genuinely curious about it and having a bit of a hard time finding the answer via a simple Google search. What is the difference between having your computer screen tinted vs wearing tinted glasses on eye strain and light sensitivity? I have tried both f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/) for tinting my screen and Axon Optics (https://www.axonoptics.com/) for tinted glasses...is there a difference? Can/should I use both at the same time? TIA.

          Glasses also work with regular room lighting, but you have to pick good ones.

          f.lux works automatically (so the timing is consistent every night and you don't forget). We think this is especially important.

            @herf I guess I should buy a few more. I've had two in the past, but lost both of them. I'll just get 3 of each, the smaller kind, and the really big ones, even though they don't fit over even my thin edged glasses. My new glasses are much thicker on the edges, I guess for durability.

            The larger UVEX model does seem to block slightly more blue and green, and when you combine BOTH of them together, they work even better.

                @herf Thanks for pointing those out, definitely is a nice bonus to have to not worry about it.

                  @melgo66 Well you need to have dim (more orangish yellow) colored light, such as a 25 watt light(or you can even go down to 15 watts if you want to get too crazy, it won't be much more than a bright night light), and use that when brushing your teeth, or getting some water etc. Also would be really nice in a bedside light.
