To answer this question effectively, one must also justify his purpose of wearing them. Does this individual wear computer glasses to protect his eyes from the glares that digital screens emit? Or is he looking for something that will “heal” the eye strain he experience while looking at the computer screen?
The truth about Computer Glasses

The theory is, this harmful blue light can cause several symptoms especially if someone sit in front of the computer or TV for extended number of hours. This is especially true for gamers and for employees who mostly work in front of computers. If you have felt neck pain, dry eyes, headaches and red eyes, you may probably be suffering from eye strain. To address this, you have multiple options to try one of which is the utilization of computer glasses.
