Definitely works for blue light caused dry eye
I've been suffering from horrible eye problems for about several years now. It’s been absolutely crippling. I’ve had to leave work early several times, where I’m on a computer 10 hours a day, because I simply couldn’t keep my eyes open because they both hurt so badly and just stream tears to the point that I cannot see. My eyes are always red and glassy by the end of every day and I’m severely light sensitive. I couldn’t stand to look at screens after work which ruled out home computer time, TV, ipad and smartphone enjoyment. Instead, I’d spend most evenings with hot packs on my eyes, which didn’t help but felt good – and wasted most of my free time. I tried sleeping with castor oil in my eyes. Nothing. Over the counter eye drops do nothing, even Restatis didn’t even help. Another prescription drop called Xiidra helps somewhat but certainly not 100%. I’d gone to my GP, an optometrist and 2 ophthalmologists several times trying to determine the source of the problem, which nobody ever did. Nobody even suggested it could be caused from blue light. They just diagnosed “dry eye”. Then, one day, I noticed that my eyes hurt one hell of a lot worse when I looked at my cell phone screen than they did looking at a regular computer screen. So I checked online to see what’s different about a cell phone screen vs a computer monitor. Turns out that cell phone screens emit way more “blue light”, something I’d never even heard of. So I bought a $50 anti-blue light filter for my computer screen. As soon as I put it on I could tell immediately that it was going to help and it did! So I bought a pair of computer glasses with blue light blocker coating (don’t waste your money – no effect whatsoever). Then, several weeks later, I was watching Jeopardy (cuz I could look at TV after using the filter at work) and saw a commercial for “Lutein Blue”, which is a different brand than this Puritan’s Pride. So, I looked up Lutein and learned that this supplement helps block blue light in your eye. I also read that it can improve your vision, which I thought might be a placebo effect. But, turns out, it’s TRUE! I’ve only been taking this supplement for 2 weeks and it’s changed my life! Even after a full day of looking at the computer at work I can work on my computer at home, watch TV, even mess around on my cell phone all without searing pain!!! Yes, my eyes still hurt a little bit but less and less every single day and it’s bearable and manageable. Further, I CAN actually see better. Everything is sharper (my eyeglass prescription seems too strong now) AND, I know this sounds weird, but I notice colors are a lot brighter. $13.67 for a 4 month supply for this life changing supplement is the bargain of the century. I would pay this much PER DAY if I had to. That’s how much it’s changed my life. Highly recommend.Ver másVer menos
