Have dry eyes, associated with screens. Saw a new optometrist, who told me to close my eyes periodically.

I’ve started doing this when I havee the chance, even while typing. Just did it tying that last sentence.

My eye dryness markedly improve, and I no longer need eyedrops. And my intraocular pressure went down a bit.

He had said do it for five minutes while on a work break, but I’ve found closing them for two seconds at a time fairly frequently has been very helpful.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

they might be bogus -- mine clearly reflect blue light when I see myself in a Zoom call, and they make ambient light warmer as well, so yours might just not be filtering properly. i think there are a lot of cheap products that don't really do what is advertised in this area.

They weren't cheap, I can see the blue light reflection looking at the glasses, but I don't find it noticeably warmer when I wear them.

Interesting, I notice the change in color when I wear mine. It's not dramatic but it is definitely there. When I forget to take them off, and realize it, the change in colors is very obvious when I finally take them off.

The app looks like something worth a shot if one looks for a software like that, but this post looks like a cheap ad. edit: Previous title for this post was "I solved my eye strain with this free app " ;)

I can guarantee that it was not an advertisement. At least not a paid ad. I just enjoyed the application. So when it's free you might as well share with people spending the day on-screen like people on HN.

PS: For the title I edited it very quickly after the submission :-)
