Review on πŸ‘“ Stylish Readerest Blue Light Blocking Reading Glasses for Men and Women, Anti Glare, Anti Eyestrain, 1.00 Magnification - Ideal for Computers (Black) by Elizabeth Brooks

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Blocks blue light very well. Lots of reflected light from behind. Impossible to keep clean.

These glasses come in a very nice case that includes a pocket and a cloth made of the same material. They also come with a blue light sensor board and a small LED for testing. Pretty neat and it works. My main issue with them, however, is that once you get a fingerprint or some kind of smudge on the lenses, the lenses are never completely clean again, at least not with the cloth that comes with them. I've also tried Toms and Costa fabric cleaners and have to keep the stains to an acceptable minimum all the time. It manifests as you might think: spots in your field of vision when you're more than a few feet away from your phone, monitor, or TV. I just can't get them to look like they did when new and there are no scratches or other imperfections to cause this. Another note: they are VERY straight with no curve so they stick out nice and wide from your eyes even if you have a fairly wide face. This lets light through from behind, which reflects into your eyes, unless you're in a completely dark room. I would like to see another version of this product with some curvature of the glasses to better fit the contours of the face and minimize that reflected light. I've bought sunglasses in the past with the same problem and I've been able to bend the frames slightly to give them some curvature (obviously this is easier with a metal frame). But the plastic in them is very hard and seems fragile. They don't bend even if you heat the middle/nose a bit to soften it when it bends slightly. They block blue light very well and allow you to spend hours staring at the screen in a much less tiring way. Just keep in mind that a light source behind you will likely cause some reflections. I wish there was still an option to comment on the reviews because I'd appreciate any advice on cleaning, but for now I'm content to constantly take them off, hold them to a light source, and try to get that much as possible. Dirt as much as possible with the provided cloth or bag.
