Where's the science on "blue light exposure?" I'm thinking that since the claims on eyeglasses are suspiciously vague, that it's all just a way to up-sell.

What's more, is that I happen to be a fan of blue light, and don't want the colors I see all day distorted. If I want less "blue light exposure" from screens, then I can tune the screen.

If your blue-blocking glasses don't change how things look in the visible spectrum, then which spectrum of light are you blocking?

Good news: We (me and my partner) will get new glasses covered by KELA so my migraines should reduce a bit more. (: Shame we can't afford the color-shade things on them to reduce how flashing lights and bright conditions screw with eyeballs, but at least seeing better will be excellent.

Neurologist also couldn't write a statement to get them, which is an accessability fail in my opinion.

We’re all paying too much for our #glasses - it’s a total scam. Your $400 designer glasses and lens cost between $8-$15 to make. Thanks to Reddit u/sappk for the following deep dive: “…EssilorLuxottica owns a lot of brands. But laid out together the scope is genuinely staggering. They own Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Costa Del Mar. They manufacture for Prada, Chanel, Versace, Armani, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany, Michael Kors, Coach, Valentino, Tory Burch. Your "Prada glasses" were made in the same Luxottica factory as everything else with a licensing sticker on the temple. They own LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut (3,100+ stores), Pearle Vision, Target Optical, Glasses.com, EyeBuyDirect. €27 billion annual revenue. 18,000+ stores. 150 countries.” #monopoly #eyeglasses #capitalism

Question for the Fediverse:
I'm in need of new prescription eyeglasses.
For the last few decades I've been wearing verifocal lenses, which are costly.
My vision issues are slight myopia and significant astigmatism.
My question: To save money, could it be practical to get two pairs, I.e., one pair for distance, and a second pair for reading?
The assumption I'm making is that I could have both acceptable vision and also save money this way.
I suspect that I'm being impractal rather than practical, but I'd love to have that confirmed or refuted by someone who is knowledgeable.
Thank YOU.
