ASUS Eye care

[Elpibe]

Sorry for bad english but ill try to explain the best i can.
I read about the blue light that is used in smarthphones, monitors, etc. and the negatives effects in the eyes because now I have a job that is in front of a PC for 8hs a day (plus the time i use to play games at home), even if im not watching the monitor all the time, its a long exposure time... So i started to worry about it, and i found 2 things.
1: is the ASUS monitors that have "eye care" technology that kinda solve this problem, since i dont know them, i want to know if it works or someone have an opinion about them.
2: programs that supposedly solve this problem like f.lux

Anyone know about this problem? My eyes are the almost the only healthy thing in my body, i dont want to ruin them...

My colleagues use some "save-eyes" screens, and they say they work enough, but I can't be more precise because I do not work in the office of my company.

I can tell you what I do and this works at least for me:

look away from the computer's screen every 20 minutes, focus on a distant object at least 20 meters away for at least 20 seconds.

Dont know about save-eyes screens, or maybe i do but with other name. And i read that 20-20-20 too... so i download "EyeLeo" a program that reminds me to look away every 20mins for 20secs, and every 50mins to take a break of 5mins of PC and move, so i dont stay sit for long hours (thats bad too, it really shorten life)

It is something like this they use on the office PCs

I have used f.lux previously but I really didn't adapt very well to it. I only use a screen dimmer on my phone, when I'm using it in the dark.
The blue light can mostly mess with your sleep pattern at night.
Backlit devices do cause your eyes to get dry and the fact that you're looking at a same spot for long periods of time can cause eye strain.

I'd say to avoid eye strain, the 20-20-20 rule is the best. Or maybe even in every couple minutes look away for a bit. That's what I try to do.
Moisture in your eyes also protects them from aggression from the outside, and backlit devices tend to dry them out during the day. Another good way to protect your eyesight is purchasing ocular lubricant (idk if that's the actual name for it in english but it's some drops you place in your eye to avoid them getting dry).

Yes using Eye Care applications may help to reduce eye strain by providing color coded lights, since we are engage everyday from white background programs that definitely affects our eyes.

But the best way is to have an enough rest to restore the vision well.

Eyes degrade out of old age though resulting from the inflexibility of the lens. Color coded light I believe is more to prevent the computer from messing with your circadian rhythm and so sleep. @Winter Soldier 's recommendation works to relax your eyes and prevent headaches from it although I don't know if it helps long-term vision though it still affects the lens. I just hope technology can remedy this problem.
