About to buy an expensive pair to "protect your eyes"? don't. there's no real evidence they do anything for eye health.
The biggest study on this (2023 Cochrane review, 17 trials) found zero benefit for eye strain. The American Academy of Ophthalmology doesn't recommend them either.
That tired, dry-eye feeling after hours at the screen? that's from you blinking less and staring at one distance, not the blue light. glasses don't fix it. blinking, breaks, and looking away do.
Want a pair cause they look good on you? totally fair, go for it. just know you're paying for the frames, not your retinas.
