Saving your eyes by watching this video on a screen

This is my favourite series, verge people. Appreciate your effort.

another tip. don't watch your screen in the dark. you get less tired if you have lights on around the screen. also, lot's of sites and apps have night mode. it helps me a lot personally to have dark mode on. oh, and windows has a night clock which you can set to make your screen less bright when it get's dark! it helps me too.

Top notch journalism, way better that all most anything on tv or KZfaq

This series...is *life changing*

Love these myth-busting videos!

He : hey how do I do that The Verge: got you covered

The verge is lately killing it with great content!!!

Finally I can answer my perpetually worried parents

Just the video I wanted. I've been suffering from this for weeks 😥 Thanks Verge ❤️

How long do you spend staring at a screen every day?

More of these tech tips please, thank you!

Fantastic video! More things like this would be great

Love the video, thanks

You're on the point - Everything covered well and explained well, thumbs up.

Thank you Ashley, very helpful and useful info!

I love this series. Thank you, Verge!

Well presented, well researched, informative video!. Loved it!

Thanks! This popped up in suggestions just in time when I needed.

Such a useful video! I was waiting for to get more information on this

Maybe it's time to bring back the fonts to their default position, I always use the smallest font possible 😂 Thanks for the tips, Verge!

Ashley thanks for doing the research and admitting not enough evidence in blue light. Love you and your teams insight into tech and life with topics that matters

Good info guys. And always great video production!

Very useful tips. Thanks Verge!

Thancx a lot for taking time to research on this topic and delivering to us.

I can't say how helpful this was! Thank you!

Thanks for that video. Very useful ♥️

Highly required video. Thanks Verge

Thanks for the video!

The video I have been waiting for.

I use a 144hz monitor and although smooth screen movements are nice, I don't believe it relates to eye strain in any way. Where did you get this information? Seems a bit far fetched to recommend people get an iPad Pro or Razer phone.

Thank you very much for this video..👍

Thanks for your advice 😀😀

Thanks for you explanation video about eye, very help

Great news feature. Terrific job Ashley.

I have started using those blue cut lenses and started to like it from day 1. I think its a must have item for people who are always on displays.

great myth busting video! very informative.

Great job!!!

Awesome series

Fantastic video. This is so real for people whose job it is to stare at a screen all day.

I use Gunnar glasses for the computer and oh boy! They really help at night, no tired eyes at all. I strongly recommend the use of them.

You are going so far from others by this great 👍 content...bravooo ❤️

Great thing.. Thanks for this

The old-fashioned CRT screens definitely had an effect, when I got my first LCD screen I noticed my eyes were not sore after a long session.

Damn I’ve been wondering about this! Awesome thanks

These new series are great.

this is a great series

Thank You! 🌺

Some good information here, although working in graphic design I can’t really mess with my display that alters the colours in anyway... but I can try the other stuff.

I love the verge, so much useful info.

Very informative.

All the new series from Verge is literally 🔥🔥

Love these informative videos

This series is doing the most 💯

Great video 👍

Thanks! 🌺

Best series of videos 💥

Well done 👍🏽

Top notch editing.

love these videos

Very nice video

Thank you

I love this series.

This show, deiter's videos, V/s videos are the best.

Does a Kindle's e-ink screen have the same effect? Or has there been any research on the subject?

Inverting the image on a text helps too. White color fires the most retina cells which lead to faster eye fatigue. I try to switch to a black background with white text whenever possible. Helps a lot. Wish more browsers/programs/websites offered that option.

You're doing a good job Ashley.

How about a video about Li-ion phone charging. Do the following accelerate wear on your battery (shorten usable life?): third party charger? Third party cable? Charging frequently / before empty? Do you need to fully discharge every once in a while?

Loving the new content

There is hypotheses that long-term staring can slow the expression of oil from the meibomian glands. If oil gets stuck in those glands, they can get blocked off, and the oil backup can cause the glands to die. This can cause tear breakup time to be significantly reduced, because very little oils to prevent evaporation, which can cause chronic dry eye and end pain. There needs to be lots more science research on ocular health - seriously. It's amazing that LASIK and similar consumer marketed surgeries isn't regulated -- there just isn't much research to help people with chronic she problems, only band-aid options to reduce pain.

You should put your blog in the description.

thank you

This is awesome.

Awesome , i like your videos

Quality Content Indeed

Windows 10 has a build in function where you can adjust the blue light on your screen. You can also set a timer to activate at a specific time each day.

Love this video

When will you post the versus video?

Gotta pump those numbers up!!!!

I've been wearing glasses with blue light filter and I honestly can't imagine going back to my glasses without them 😫 My eyes used to burn and run water consistently when I was staring at a screen (I'm a software developer so about 14 hours of screen time lol) or when I went outside in the sun. Now, they're loving me. Got a blue light filter on my transition lens.

No link to the kitchen gadget test show?

Very informational video well done but please try to do a video on apples night shift technology thank you 😎😎❤️😊

Dark screen with white or light fonts also helps to overcome the eye strain, specially for people who codes for long hours.

Use a bluelight filter on your phone and laptop it does help with the strain.

What about blue blocker glasses sold on Amazon? Those help?

5:49 Apple launched nightshift ie caught on to others already doing it...

Whenever someone talks about blinking in a video, suddenly i am all sensitive about it and count how many times i blink.😅

Very good video

That is so useful

I feel that using f.lux my eyes are a bit less tired, and using the shift filter on the phone helped me in the morning

love these vids😍

The Verge deserves a lot more subs than it currently has.

If you use your devices at night and/or in low light, then I'd highly recommend you download a *free* "blue light filter" app/program for your phone/computer. (You don't need glasses) You can even set automatic timers, for examples, mines is set to turn ON @ 7pm, then turn OFF @ 7am.

How about doing a video that shows how to prevent Carpal Tunnel.

Night shift has always worked for me. I use f.lux on my laptop and it works well and have always done that. When they added it to my phone it seems to work as well also.

Awesome .. love from India

Liquid Crystal Displays do not refresh the same way that Cathode Ray Tube Displays. CRTs actually switch very quickly, so the display literally does flicker. LCDs don't rely on the same principle. Florescent lights do flicker at 60Hz in the US. That bothers me more than anything. I can see the flicker in my peripheral vision.

Instead of getting glasses use the f.lux software. It tints the screen to prevent blue light and control it.
