    Eye Protection Filter

    Does anyone use one of these? Or might they interfere with monitor calibration and/or color management in general? Having inhereted my wife's PC, I use one, and she swears it sharpens text and reduces overall eyestrain. I'm worried it may interfere with my Photoshop. Thanks,
