"ViXion01 Glasses: The Solution to Eyestrain"

ViXion01 glasses, showcased at CES 2024, feature auto-focus functionality using a front-facing ToF sensor to reduce eyestrain for users struggling with focusing due to strain, old age, or time of day. Priced at 99,000 yen (about $690) for pre-order in Japan, the glasses offer improved visual sharpness and seamless switching between focal distances, but come with limitations such as a limited field of view, 10-hour battery life, and non-waterproof design. With no current plans for an overseas launch, the futuristic glasses may need a wider version if expanded globally.

Optimize iOS 17 for Reduced Eyestrain and Optimal Viewing Distance

Apple's iOS 17 introduces a new feature called Screen Distance, which warns users when they are holding their iPhone or iPad too close to their face. This feature aims to reduce eyestrain and potentially lower the risk of nearsightedness. Users can easily turn on or off Screen Distance in the Settings menu.

The truth about blue light-blocking glasses: Do they really work?

A review of 17 randomized controlled trials suggests that blue light-blocking glasses do not effectively reduce eyestrain caused by looking at computer screens. The study found that these glasses have "probably little or no effect" on vision quality and an "indeterminate" effect on sleep quality. While there is no evidence to suggest that blue light exposure from screens causes retinal damage or eye diseases, symptoms of eyestrain arise due to decreased blinking and dry eyes. The review concludes that blue-light glasses may not be worth the purchase for healthy adults. However, the studies included in the review had limitations, such as small sample sizes and short durations, which may have affected the ability to observe long-term benefits.

The Truth About Blue-Light Glasses: Do They Really Help with Eye Strain and Sleep?

A review of 17 randomized controlled trials published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews suggests that blue-light filtering glasses may not reduce eyestrain associated with computer use. The review also found inconsistent evidence regarding the glasses' impact on sleep quality and retinal health. Eye-care professionals have long maintained that blue-light blocking glasses do not provide significant health benefits for the eyes. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has stated that blue light does not cause eyestrain or damage retinas. Experts recommend other measures to reduce eyestrain, such as following the "20-20" rule and maintaining appropriate distance from screens.
