Blue light blocking glasses
Any recommended brands of blue light blocking glasses, or what to look for to ensure they’ll actually live up to the claim of blocking blue light? Thank you! -

Hi – when choosing a brand of blue light blocking glasses, here is a criteria list/questions to consider and ask:
1. What percentage of blue light do your orange-tinted lenses block? (they should block 100%)
2. What range of blue light do your orange-tinted lenses block? (they should block blue light between 400-500nm)
3. Do you have a spectral report you can share or independent studies on the effectiveness of your glasses? (if they don’t have a report or don’t want to share it, move on to another brand)
4. Cost/quality? (check reviews)
5. Comfort? (check reviews)
6. If you wear prescription glasses, ask if they offer prescription orange lenses or do they have models that fit well over prescription glasses?I personally have and use 2 different brands; a cheap pair of utility goggles by Uvex (cheap, ugly, and not the most comfortable, but effective!), and I recently purchased a pair of Swannies which have independent studies (pricier but nicer looking and more comfortable. I also feel they are just a tad less effective than my Uvex only because they don’t cover the side of the eyes like my Uvex goggles do, but I still love them all around).
Hope this helps you make a more informed choice.
