Blue light filter on computer stuff

[emily_in_nc]

Very glad to see this thread! I'd saved off a pair of blue-light filtering glasses in my Amazon wishlist, but as they are $45, I hadn't managed to make myself pull the trigger. I use my tablet a lot at night and use it as an e-reader as well, so I am very happy to hear about f.lux. Much cheaper than the glasses! I am going to download and give it a try.

I can always count on the wealth of information in this group. Thanks for being there!

I just quickly looked at readers.com and they do have some for blue lights

Will take a better look at their site tonight. I do have a pair for reading (regular books or truly fine prints stuff) as I don't need real reading glasses for now. Opto said not to spend a fortune for reading glasses (drugtstore type can do for time-being as I'm only at 1+). And even those, they seem to triple the size of letters for me and I hate this. But I may decide to get a pair from them to try. And you have various coupons/code you can use to save 20% or 40% off. May worth the try.

I saw this article recently -- it mentions f.lux and some android options.

I fall asleep while reading my tablet at night so blue light doesn't seem to be keeping me awake. I've been falling asleep in front of the TV after soon after using my laptop, tablet and phone, too. I don't know if it matters but I keep all my screens pretty dim most unless I'm trying to look at them outside during the day. It saves batteries and also is more comfortable for me, which I assume is related to the migraine and photophobia problems I've had for decades.
