EASTER

AYO Blue Light Glasses.
Wearables with iOS/Android App.

Heard about this product from a very wealthy banker whom flies international all the time and swears by them as working extremely effectively.

Jet Lag killer.
Insomnia cure.

Very glowing reviews on Amazon and Facebook (pardon the pun)

Unsure of exact timing of EASTER discount code. Came up after I left the AYO site the first time.

"AYO complies with the EU’s CE marking and the United States of America’s FCC marking as well as other national regulatory directives. AYO is considered safe for the eyes, in accordance with the EU’s directive IEC 62471 and is independently certified by TÜV Rheinland."

    blue light is bad for you, why would you even want this?

    Blue light has a very short wavelength, and so produces a higher amount of energy. Studies suggest that, over time, exposure to the blue end of the light spectrum could cause serious long-term damage to your eyes. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm).

    • NickFritz on 08/04/2018 - 22:59

      So that would mean running the blue light filter on my computer/phone all day instead of just after 10pm would be much better for me?

      • [Deactivated] on 08/04/2018 - 23:00

        during the day is fine, but at night its bad for you.
        or just wear blue light reducing glasses or put your iphone in night shift

      Given that you have quoted something without where you got it from, it's difficult to rebut. However, one source is this one:

      http://www.bluelightexposed.com/#where-is-the-increased-expo…

      Yes, chronic exposure to high intensity blue light at night can cause harmful effects. However, blue light has beneficial effects, including "Helps regulate circadian rhythm, the body's natural sleep and wake cycles, Boost alertness, Helps memory and cognitive function, Elevates moods". These are all exact quotes from a source that also uses the exact quote (on http://www.bluelightexposed.com/what-is-bue-light/). The difference is that the intensity, time of day and duration have everything to do with the effect of the blue light.

      Who would say something like, "Blue light is bad for you"? Maybe you're a vision specialist, in which case I shouldn't judge the quality of your professional opinion. I have no idea about these glasses, but they are used for only 20 minutes a day at specific times and their safety is independently certified by TÜV Rheinland.

      PS I do not own these glasses nor do I intend to, because they cost too much!

        The one source you chose is a marketing website where makers of optical products attempt to convince people that blue light is bad for them by sponsoring "scientific studies".

        • follow on 08/04/2018 - 23:39

          but they're saying it's good and bad?

          To clarify, I made a reasonable effort to find the source of the quote. Most of the other matches were just single paragraphs without related information.

        • twocsies on 09/04/2018 - 00:32

          @TarquinOliverNimrod: It appears that the website is mainly an attempt to spread an awareness of the hazards of blue light, which are supposedly on the increase due to digital screens and fluorescent bulbs. However, it is a somewhat balanced approach. Blue light affects the circadian rhythm, for better or for worse. Rather than simply list out all the dangers, they have chosen to explain the science.

      For short term use as an aid with jet lag this would be no worse (probably less damaging) than walking around outside in daylight without sunglasses. Several peer-reviewed studies do show that bright light at these frequencies at the right time of day can be effective at causing a 'phase shift' and adjust circadian rhythms. The same effect though could probably be produced without these glasses using a bright white light and one of the free online apps which can tell you the optimal times for light exposure.

    I think the intent for this is to recover from jetlag to recover in different time zones. Not much use if you're an in country insomniac. You'd want red light for that

    • Rayve on 09/04/2018 - 00:54

      Not necessarily. The studies suggest that blue light can shift the periodicity of the sleep / wake cycle, making you more alert during the time you want to be and more ready to sleep at appropriate times. By shifting your alert period forward you can move your tired periods as well until they are more in sync with the times you might like.

    You can get blue light blocking lenses on Zenni’s for a lot less than this

  • shmahoo on 09/04/2018 - 04:58

    My two cents worth?
    (Disclaimer - I'm a Melbourne independent optometrist)

    I put a type of blue blocker (that reduces 20 to 30 % of certain blue wavelengths of light) into every lens that I can. Blue light (the part of the visual spectrum closest to UV) does have somewhat harmful qualities and now that we know this we can reduce it. Kind of like how a lot of people have reduced ("lite") fat milk as a defacto standard.

    When surgeons replace the lens in the human eye with a plastic lens in a cataract operation, most use a lens with a blue blocker in it. Reduces (but doesn't completely eliminate) risk of future macular degeneration and other ageing effects for the eyes.

    I regularly use blue blocking lenses for young (and middle aged) people on the glasses they wear for extensive computer time. In the vast majority of cases (but not 100%, of course!) patients report to me a lessening of eye fatigue symptoms.

    Yes I know the product mentioned in this post is supposedly for the reverse effect of what I've posted about. I cannot comment on the effectiveness of "extra" blue light to recover from jet lag.

    As much as I would like to Neg this deal I cannot find enough information on it,
    but everything about his seems to indicate false benefits, starting with ops opening line.

    Heard about this product from a very wealthy banker whom flies international all the time and swears by them

    I think OP may have forgotten to indicate whether they are somehow involved with this business, even as a third party.

    Sure, google is flooded by overly-positive reviews for this item, however most are so over the top and formulaic they are evidently paid endorsements. Most include links, some multiple, to the products website and discount offers.

    It is not uncommon for companies to flood google and pay for higher search rankings in order to bury any negative reviews or opinions. And this is such a niche product not many people will have even heard about it, let alone to investigate whether the claims made are true or false.

    In my search I have also come across articles which also state that using blue light blocking glasses will also reduce the effects jetlag.

    http://time.com/4214359/jetlag-light-therapy/

    And others which say green light will help.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2236419/Glass…

    and look, here is a product that says Superior green-blue light is the ticket.

    https://www.re-timer.com/

    My interest in this, I despise any product, procedure, diet or belief that promises false health or medical benefits.

    Just don't get me started on Homeopathy.

  • bargainshooter on 09/04/2018 - 08:46

    Hey this is a bargain website. Why are people negging based on whether they think it's a good product or not. The discount seems valid, if you don't like the product comment but don't neg it. Some people aren't interested in your opinions.

    • xev on 09/04/2018 - 09:04
      +1

      Members can neg if there is a Major issue with product in that it doesn't work the way it should.

      I didn't neg as I didn't feel that there is enough information, but I am entitled, as are all members, to provide an opinion.

      If you aren't interested in the opinions of others, just skip the comment section.

      • bargainshooter on 09/04/2018 - 09:08
        +1

        I agree with you. I was trying to say by negging a deal because you don't like the product you're pushing your opinion as more than just a comment. I don't think much of this product personally but don't think this post deserves my neg because of that.

        • xev on 09/04/2018 - 09:12

          I don't think people here were negging just because they don't like the product, but because they doubt the claims made by the product.
