Review on Computer Reading Glasses Eyestrain Eyeglasses by Brad Blake

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good frames, cheap flashy lenses.

The frames are really good - very chic and light, but the spring mechanism "creaks" a bit when opening and closing. The lenses are bad. I was expecting them to be better than your regular $2 reading glasses lenses but they seem to be the same - cheap plastic and not easy to clean - they seem to hold oil streaks and require soap plus they are dust magnets. The worst thing is that they blind terribly. I work in a sunny room, and no matter which way I turn, there are annoying bright light artifacts. I can't say if the yellow tint really reduces eye strain, but I will continue to wear it at the computer. I have a 0.5x magnification which I really like in front of the monitor. I just don't feel like they are worth the difference in price compared to cheap reading glasses ($15 vs $2 - again without considering the eye strain factor, which I don't feel).

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Big and chunky
