Blocking Out Blue Light to Resolve... Headaches?
-
Yeah, I guess if you don't have a "flicker-free" LED monitor, then that could be a culprit too.

@SimplyMadxx For whatever it's worth, I've found that bright light gives me huge headaches when I have jet lag (either social jet lag, caused by staying up too late, or real jet lag from crossing time zones).
I really love the orange UVEX glasses for about $8 from Amazon, if you're having a circadian timing/ light related headache you'll know right away if you put them on and the headache vanishes. They're great for when you're traveling and can't dim the room lights.
Also for me, a strong bright dark cycle seems to help. Sleeping enough hours and regularly helps me a lot. I've even stopped wearing dark sunglasses during the day, just normal corrective contacts for UV protection.

I'm glad that corrective contacts exist for UV protection because one thing that's bad in our world is sunglasses. Even though we have super fancy sunglasses that block out all the harmful stuff and do a very good job at it, it still comes in through the sides and enters our dilated pupils.

Post deleted for promoting products - @DaphneL if you experience discomfort using f.lux you should definitely stop using it.

@lorna I think this is a different cause. From what I read, I though the person said they have eye strain from long periods of screen time. They also said that f.lux was helping, not causing the strain.
I suggested a program that gives reminders to look away from the screen about every 20 minutes for at least 20 seconds.
I'm not recommending it against f.lux but in conjunction.
-
@lorna I never speak ill of F.lux. My eye strain has been caused by blue light or long term use of digital devices. I gave my approval to your program already. Just because I mentioned a pair of glasses, you are angry and blaming my point. I should say, F.lux lost a user due to your inappropriate service. Why are you running this forum? Isn't it for communicating freely?

@DaphneL forum rule: posts that promote products from other companies may be deleted. This forum is for supporting f.lux, not for marketing products from other companies.
