Is this like a physical version of using F.lux? https://justgetflux.com/

@evannite Hey Evan, kind of! f.lux is a great product for warming the temperature of your screen, but because it is a software solution, it does not fundamentally alter the diodes of LED screens, so there is high energy light still emitted. Also, it does nothing for glare, which is a major component of eyestrain. When testing these glasses with professionals at companies like Spotify, LinkedIn, Barclays and Google, we met a ton of folks who also used software solutions, but still use Felix Grays because of the reasons mentioned above for the ultimate comfort. Also, f.lux is great for developers that work in a terminal all day, but if you're a designer or constantly work with the web, changing the entire color of your screen is not ideal. Here's a little piece Forbes did on software solutions, Nightshift in this case: http://www.forbes.com/sites/gord...

@evannite Woohoo! Glad they're helping, Sam! Back when we were analysts before starting FG, we were also skeptical of solutions... Until we started researching, testing different products and lens types, etc. Once we realized this is a real thing (the gaming industry adopted this a while ago) we knew we had to create a modern, fashionable design for all the folks out there staring at their computer all day, just like us! Thanks so much for the support :)
