I'll be honest, and a little rude (sorry!).

If something is causing some physical pain in your eyes, why wouldn't your solution be to get off the computer and give your eyes a rest?

People typically work to earn money, which they then use to buy necessities like food, water, and shelter.

Fair, but they say:

> With the glasses I can work all day, then play video games, watch movies etc without feeling anything.

So it's not just working. It's working, then playing video games and watching movies. They also say they have to take breaks much more often when they don't wear them, which implies they don't take a break as many breaks when they are wearing them.

I have quite bad wrist pain when I use a PC, and I'm a developer. I feel like it's like me taking ibuprofen to dampen the pain rather than taking regular breaks from my PC.

Sometimes your body is trying to tell you something and IMO it's good to listen.

“You should simply not do the thing!”

Because life is about give and take?

I don't say that at all, that's pretty bad faith. My point was that taking regular breaks as they say they do when they forget their glasses is a better solution than just powering through with some glasses that may or may not work.

I mean definitely that would be best, but it so happened that most of my daily life, career and entertainment is related with screens. At least in my case this condition is not getting worse so for now these glasses allow me to do all this in a pretty comfortable way.

Yeah that's fair enough :) I have similar issues with my wrist which is easy to say "take a break" but in reality it's not always that easy.
