I do! But I also wear prescription glasses, and recently got a new pair with blue light blocking included with the lenses. Before that, I used f.lux, with no tint during the day and a "no blue light" tint when the sun sets (it's a setting with f.lux).
I don't know for sure if they help, but I certainly feel like my eyes are less tired ever since wearing them. This is all anecdotal, but I've noticed that I can stare at a screen for longer periods of time -- not recommended, of course, but more possible than before.
Also, taking breaks every 40 or so minutes has helped a lot. I usually get up and fill my mug with some more water and think about whatever I'm working on away from the screen.
Oh, and a lower screen brightness + enough room lighting helps me, too.
Andy - I got my prescription glasses with lenses coated with blue light blocking and have had similar results. My eyes don't get dry as often and I get less "computer headaches". Looks like everyone likes the Gunnar glasses. I tried them at PAX but they didn't fit my face shape well. Looks like there are tons of blue light blocking glasses to check out, though.
I've tried everything to combat blue light, though. On the PC I've used two programs - F.lux and Iris - the former is free and the latter cost I think $15 but has way more options. Of course there's Night Shift on iOS and whatever feature is on Android, but I prefer actual blue light filters over the software equivalent.
