Computer Vision Syndrome - Please Help!

I was diagnosed with Computer Vision Syndrome by a doctor 2 years ago. He prescribed me Computer Vision glasses with Anti Glare coating to help with my sore, red & watery eyes. I started wearing those glasses regularly for the next 2 years.

This has helped me tremendously. My glasses have scratches so I bought a new pair of glasses yesterday.

The new glasses have Plastic lens with Anti Glare Coating (the greenish reflection), the old glasses had Glass lens (with purple reflection). Anyways when I see through my new glasses, there is a slight Redish/Purplish hue. Whereas when I look through my old glasses, they have a Yellowish/Orangish hue. 

I think the new glasses make everything pop a little as if they have increased the contrast or something.

My question is, is Purplish/Redish hue when looking through the glasses is fine or does it have any sort of bad implications on eye health?

I work with Computers all day long. I look at computer screen at least 18 hours a day.

    it is normal to have the pruplish/reddish hue, and this will have already given some relief for your red eyes.

      Thanks for the reply. Please note that I am not talking about the purplish tint/reflection that some glasses give when looking at their lens from an angle. I am talking about the reddish hue when you look through those glass lenses.
