recommend blue light blocking glasses?

[Anonymous]

Anyone have any links, brands, or other recommendations for which blue light blocking glasses to order for tween? All I can find on Amazon are for little kids or adults. Daughter is 12.
Thank you!

You can just set their device to blue light blocking mode. This makes their screen look less vibrant (tinted yellow) but it's easier to use than glasses. Most devices and laptops have this feature.

Thanks for the reply. Is that “dark mode” on Mac and iOS? Or is there something different? She tried dark mode but didn’t like it.

It depends on the device. On the Kindle, it's called "blue shade". On our laptop, it's called "night light". It does take time to get accustomed to it.

You can also download an app to filer out blue light.

I got the ladies ones for my 12 year old on Amazon and they work fine.

The American Academy of Ophthamologists says they aren't necessary.

We bought the extra filter for my kid's glasses for another $100... then I read this and did research and informed them that he didn't need them (the next time he needed a prescription). I trust the Amer. Acad. of Ophthamology more than any Optometrist or Optician.

For a child/tween/teen? Only if you have big bucks. They are beautiful, but would not spend the money on a kid, they aren't better than any other brand for function.

Get adult ones.

Studies aside,they make a big difference for us.

Us too. We got adult ones for our young teen. They were recommended on the thread about headaches on here. I got the exact ones the person recommended. No headaches since. If it's placebo effect, totally fine with me

NP - I just learned about a company that makes blue light blocking glasses. They also make glasses and frames that are sized for kids.

My teen DD got these when school went remote because her eyes were bothering her. They seem to work.

Zenni's online. I've ordered several pairs. You can upload a photo of your DC and virtually try on glasses. They work for computers and TVs. Helps for migraine sufferers.
