Jan 8 2009Highly Questionable Yellow Glasses Supposed To Prevent Computer-Related Eye Fatigue

First! I have used these for years while firing handguns! Another way to get idiots to spend money, Computer glasses?!

I agree Gizmo. I spend 90% of my conscious time in front of a computer on a daily basis and my eyes never complain about getting tired

bah crazygeek rather... there goes that dyslexia again

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like tat scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was looking at Baja in the shower, and then put on golden glasses to enhance the experience.

I have these glasses. Used them when I worked at a place with a crummy monitor with a crummy refresh rate. They worked very well. I don't notice a difference when using a nice monitor though; so I don't wear them anymore. Waste of money if you have a decent monitor.

I wants me one of these for staring at thumperchica's funbags!!!!!! all day!

I need to get those, for I too use a computor.

I did tech support when these glasses would've been useful some 8 years ago, but a motorcycle helmet was sufficient. I also didn't want people to see how red my eyes were from smoking weed on the way into work everyday, so I just blamed the shitty monitors we all had

never back down

Almost every monitor in existence allows you to alter the "warmth" of the colors. Can't you just do that yourself for free?

Maybe it's not the same, I don't know.

Nineth! I have used these for years while firing handguns at computers! Another way to get liberals to ban guns, gun control?!

@9 - But then you couldn't spend a bunch of money on stupid looking glasses to make yourself feel superior at work while talking about your Prius...

That girl, you known the one with the glasses, is a German pron star. And yes, she wears the glasses.

It would explain why Oracle in the Watchtower wears these yellow glasses.
Of course, if your eyes get tired from watching the monitor just head over to LOLCATS...PEW PEW PEW! or (porn)( but not at work)...

i got a pair of yellow glasses for working in a plant at night that cost exactly one dollar. and theyre ANSI approved to protect your eyes from flying pieces of metal too. in case your monitor does that (mine does, it was an extra)

15th!

I call BS

I would totally do that woman in the picture above, if she would keep the glasses on.

i have one of these... they're called BLUBLOCKERS. and tinting everything yellow would totally f*** up my photoshop skillz.

Yellow glasses do reduce glare and eye strain... but dont go spend 200 bucks on yellow tinted glasses when you can go to your optometrist or walmart and buy yellow clip ons for 15 bucks. Yellow tint is reccommended by Optometrists for people that are sensitive to glare from computers or night driving.

If you already wear glasses.. just spend the extra 50-100 bucks for an anti reflection coating.. then you don't need silly looking yellow glasses!

The internet would look like pee, what the heck!

So... They're updates of the totally awesome "Blue Blockers" of the 80's. Weak.

how retarded...everyone knows rose colored glasses are better for reading, yellow is bad for your eye sight..and can cause damage...especially in bright light...

The japs and chinks want the roundeyes to wear these so they will look invisible

They should have gotten a hotter model to show them off, they probably would sell more. As it is, I think that chick's boss told her to wear them so she wont notice in the mirror that he drew on her massive forehead with a highlighter.....seriously, what is that? *squints*

They had these a while ago, I saw them in microcenter as "AOL high resolution glasses" they had a yellow tint and promised to make your computers resolution jump.

German porn star.

Tried them! Not Impressed!

I actually bought some a month ago, and i honestly feel less tired after work.
they rock!

would have been worth it 10-15 years ago when monitors were crap... I regularly got eyestrain off poor PC systems and pre-PC ones. These would have been a godsend for when I wasn't able to either forcibly up the refresh rate, tweak the brightness/contrast to be a bit less stark (helps with flickering, somehow) or set a colour scheme reminiscent of the old green/amber screen monochrome monitors (which these sort of emulate), all of which tended to make the problem vanish.

these days, not so much. LCDs certainly don't give me issues. they don't flicker and aren't excessively bright when you're in a dark room, which were two major problems with CRT. plus you can get yellow tinted ski / work goggles for about a tenth of the price, which will do exactly the same job and look about as dorky. in case, say, you're stuck in some office which has seen hard times and is still soldiering on with pentium-133s and 14" monitors from the late 90s, or using a lot of first-generation CNC mills or whatever.

LAST!
