@christianselig Looking forward to your follow-up post at 45+. Your eyes will have a different opinion then. “THE BRIGHT MONITOR! IT BURRRRRNS! The goggles do nothing!” 😆

@drfyzziks I don't think there's actually any scientific evidence of screens impacting eye health https://www.nvisioncenters.com/education/screen-time-and-your-eyes/

There's a small amount showing a relation with blue light emission, but that's not affected by matte/glossy

@christianselig That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that in your elder coder years (I’m 50) your eyes will tire more quickly than they used to. You will especially notice this when staring at bright screens. Glossy vs matte doesn’t matter as much as overall screen brightness. However, some w/glossy screens (myself incl.) will crank the brightness to compensate for reflections & your eyes will notice it.

My eyes are perfectly healthy. They just want you to get off their lawn 😂
