Are anti-fatigue lenses for glasses actually useful?

rt, I’m getting ready to change my glasses. I’ve only ever used blue-light-blocking lenses before, so I wanted to ask whether adding anti-fatigue lenses actually makes a difference.

It feels more like a gimmick.

It should be the same. Wearing glasses definitely affects your eyesight to some extent.

It doesn’t seem very useful, unless you use high-end lenses.

Blue-light filtering does have some benefits, but the anti-fatigue effect is mostly a gimmick. If it really worked, it would indeed be pretty impressive.

It is effective as long as you maintain good eye-care habits.

A gimmick. I’ve been wearing glasses for over ten years. If you’re buying a pair, pay attention to the refractive index—1.67 or 1.74, for example—and make sure your pupillary distance is measured properly. All that talk about lenses costing this or that price is just a rip-off. There are only a handful of mainstream lens brands anyway. Just choose a frame made from a better-quality material.

The filtration rate depends on the price, but it does have some effect. All I can say is that it may reduce eye dryness when using electronic devices for long periods; beyond that, it doesn’t really do anything else.

Why not just use tech directly?

I’ve had astigmatism for years, but I still haven’t gotten used to wearing glasses.

It’s fucking useless, just like Blu-ray—both are just scams for gullible people.
