My videographer friend has a pair and he says the yellow tinted definitely affects the color. I don't know how you can wear this to color correct. Maybe for photographers who are color blind or only process in black and white?
When I edit I usually cull images first. then go back and select the ones i want to be black and white and the ones i want to add a different touch to them or something special. after this is when i go back through and fix the white balance and color correct the images. this usually takes an hour per wedding since i can batch a group of photos with the same white balances. So for about 75% of my editing I could wear them. I was just wondering if anyone tried them or heard of them?
Or does anyone know of something similar? I am beginning to think the 15 or so hours i spend in front of the computer some days is starting to hurt my eyes.

Upgrade your monitor or viewing environment. Those glasses are not a solution.
I spoke to a few optometrists about this actually, because I'd get headaches and my eyes would start to really hurt after editing (video) for 8-10 hours a day (they checked my vision, nothing wrong there) and all they could suggest was looking away from the screen every ~10 minutes and focusing on something farther away than your screen for 30 seconds to a minute. I'd asked about possible glasses for editing, and nah-zeeng. If there's something out there though that really does help I'd love to know what it is, 'cause long editing days are killer.

Ive tried eveything. At my day job I edit on a $5000 monitor. At home I have decent monitors as well. I have tried a well lit room, a dark room and everything in between. Doesnt matter. 10+ hours on the computer and I'm hurting. I need a solution like special glasses or something.
Lol editing goggles!!!
My day job involves staring at a screen for 9 hours most days, so I am feeling eye strain as well. I find it is most helpful just to take small breaks every hour or so. I go play with my dog in the yard

This is pretty much the same thing I was told too.
You can get yellow tinted shooting glasses at any sporting goods store for a few bucks if you want to see if it will do anything...but yea, I work at a computer all day and the advice from the eye doc has always just been to give 'em a break once in a while, focus on distant objects.
