Review on Eyekepper Computer Glasses Women Lightweight by Bill Snyder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally effective computer/gamer glasses with low color distortion and glasses adjustability

This is a long review but worth reading if you are frustrated with finding effective minimal color distortion blue light blocking glasses that can be easily fitted to prescription glasses. They are incredibly light. , and since the thin titanium frame is strong but malleable, I very carefully straightened the eyecup wires, moving them up and in just enough for the eyecups to hook onto the top of my wire-frame glasses as a cushion. The bony bridge of the nose hates glasses, so I have to buy the lightest prescription glasses. I hardly notice the addition of these Eyekepper glasses. The image of a single lens shows the efficiency of the lens in reflecting blue light. The image of Eyekeppers next to the amber rim shows the effectiveness of both. The amber pads are effective but turn the blue to green making it impossible to play games like Panda Pop. I use them to read my Kindle before bed. Eyekeppers sit next to my chair and are used for the TV and all other electronics. They are so transparent and light that I forget I'm wearing them until I adjust my regular glasses or see myself in the mirror. Warning. When it comes to buying blue light blocking glasses, you will find many brands and many promises, but not many that really work. I tried The Fresh (brand) blue light blocking computer reading glasses. One lens reflected pink and the other a little blue. One pair had some of the coating removed when cleaning with the cloth provided, one pair was scratched. Came back for a refund. I finally found a light yellow tinted Duco bezel. They were a little uncomfortable and barely refracted blue light. I tried to return them, they returned the money but the goods are not taken back even though I didn't plan to use them. Then I ventured out to buy J+S Vision Blue Light Shield glasses for reading/computer gaming - 0.0x magnification - blue light protection, 100% UV protection - high definition lenses, shiny tortoise shell WF1 frame, hoping that it could be worn over my prescription glasses. Too bad the headphones are too tight. They were slightly more effective but still didn't block as much blue light as I was hoping. I didn't return them - didn't think it was fair. However as they fit the Duco frame well I removed the liners and taped them to the overlays with clear tape and managed to adjust them enough to allow the double layer of lenses to be used as overlays. They made me look like someone from another planet but actually worked together to deflect quite a bit of blue light. They were also good for belly laughs when I showed them to friends who all know me as an adapter for just about anything that "not quite suits me". I came across Eyekeppers just by accident. A friend showed me a pair of tortoise shells and asked if I found them effective. They were old and dented, but I was struck by how much blue light they reflected. Luckily the brand name was on the frame. It took a bit of searching to find the wire frames, but it was worth the time. I risked a model with stronger protection. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants protection from excessive blue light without color distortion. In fact, I'm so impressed with them and their great price that I've bought a second pair just in case anything happens to them.

Pros
