Gamer glasses
My eye Dr recommends the blue light filtering and "digital lenses" so I got them. I haven't noticed any difference in how my eyes felt. The info packet that came with the glasses noted at all claims regarding these features are not supported by any medical studies.
I refused blue light filter on my glasses, and the eye spectacle shop was shocked as I was the first one to reject that "feature". According to ophthalmologists, it is critical that you receive the blue light during day to keep yourself active, and dimmer yellow/red light during night time. This is to keep yourself in sync with circadian rhythm and the natural pattern of sun/cloud daytime and sunset evening time.
I just ordered new specs and the opto was the same way. But, they were happy with the two pairs of presbyopic myopic astigmatic wtf-priced lenses I got - one tuned 'near' for terminal work - and sent me on my way with a valid PD ... which I'm gonna have checked before sending it off to Zenni for the super-high-index daily-drivers with those sweet-sweet Mongolia-made lenses we all know the regular optos are using anyway.
If I'm sitting in front of a computer for 6+ hours without stopping they help with headaches. But now most computers cone with light filter options.
