I stare at screens most days, but the pandemic has dramatically increased the amount of time I spend staring at screens. Before, it was just an annoyance but didn't interfere with my ability to work. Lately, it has gotten to that point due to dryness. I was constantly squinting and doing the long-blink, and I went through bottles of eyedrops each week. I'm a lifelong contact lens wearer, and I swapped out old ones for new. Nothing helped. My eye doctor said I just don't blink enough while staring at a screen and that this is a common problem. So, I decided to try these in hopes that it would help my eye fatigue and dryness, even though I was skeptical. But given the price, why not? At worst, I end up looking cute. As I wore them for the first time, I was concentrating on whatever I was reading on the screen and had forgotten I was wearing them. But after less than an hour, I stopped and noticed how good my eyes felt. Less dry for sure, and somewhat less tired. I was trying to think of how to explain it to a friend, and all I could think of was, "it feels like a warm, moist hug for your eyeballs." It's like they create a little micro-atmosphere between the lenses and your eyeballs that is the perfect humidity and that just lets your eyes work more efficiently (and in turn, with less fatigue). Final plus: the lenses are not noticeably yellow, so you're not going to look like some weirdo wearing Transitions Lenses when you wear these. That alone might be priceless.
