Uvex Skyper Blue Light Blocking Computer Glasses with SCT-Orange Lens (S1933X)

Ok first off, I'm a web developer so I stare at my monitor all day and then later when I get home. I was getting really bad eye strain, to the point where I couldn't do any consistent work. Went to my optician who said that there was no evidence that anti-blue light glasses such as these helped. Bought some expensive new glasses from them and it made no difference at all.So I thought why not try out on these specs instead...2 days later, no eye strain whatsoever. These are great not just for laptops but also in rooms with fluorescent light, really cuts down the glare.Pros -CheapFits well but there is some pinching over the earsWraps well around the eyes to block out any light coming in from the sides.Works like a charm!Cons -Is a bit flimsy on the frame, so don't treat them too forcefullyYou look like a bit of a fool in the office, or like the guy from Team America World Police. Whatever makes you feel better...Overall 5* - why? Because all the cons are outweighed by the price, I don't expect titanium, carbon- fibre, captain scarlet indesctructible for just over a £10.Well worth a go, if you are getting eye strain at the pc all day!! Try these first before you pay for new glasses!

These are great quality for what you're paying. Use them with a light warming application such as f.lux for the best results.Positives:+ They hug your face really well, the side shields keep light out and the tint makes sure no (or very little) blue light will reach your eyes.+ I saw an analytical graphic and these glasses block out about 98% of blue light, more than enough to see the health benefits (better sleep etc).+ A very good price point, well priced indeed.Negatives:- They aren't that stylish, but don't look awful either. They are substance over style, and do the job better than other products in this market that are geared more towards aesthetics.- Lower quality materials; this doesn't affect function at all; but plastic is always going to be worse than metal and more prone to breakage.- The strong tint may makes these unsuitable for situations where accurate color perception is necessary, for example playing video games.It's a trade-off, block out more blue light while forfeiting colours or block less blue light and seeing a broader colour spectrum - different glasses in this market will suit different needs.

I bought these to reduce eye strain from looking at my laptop all day.So far so good, but it will take a while to confirm how much they help.If you're working with art work a lot they may be a problem as the yellow filters alter colour perception.I have found them comfortable, especially as you can adjust the side arms.

Product arrived quickly. i'm from a sporting background so have worn all sorts of sunglasses on my exploits and these actually look 'ok' to have on. They absolutely cut out the blue light as i tested them on a few websites that have test features to ensure you aren't wasting your time. They fit pretty well, i find they slip just a few mm down the bridge of my nose so i'll have to occasionally push them back up a bit, it's likely just because i have a narrow head. I got these to cut out blue light in the run up to bedtime. i've been able to use my computer, watch TV and navigate most household tasks while wearing them. The colours do get a bit distorted (especially blues!) but to get a good nights sleep it is totally worth it. Have only used them 2 nights and sleep has already been above average. If you use computers or watch TV or work in well-lit areas right up to your bed time, then these might help your body wind down naturally for better rest.

Disclaimer: I bought these not for safety but for their alleged ability to block blue light.I came across a recommendation for this specific model from someone suffering sleeping problems and discussed blocking blue light that is emitted from all LCD screens.Pros: It seems to work as intended. I have no empirical evidence, or means to onjectively measure my quality of sleep, but anecdotally, I do tend to sleep better when wearing these while surfing the net, watching videos or playing games at night. The orange tint to everything isn't really that big of an issue and while currently playing BioShock 2, seems to match quite nicely with the colour scheme anyway.Cons: These are one of the most uncomfortable safety specs I have ever worn. The entire lower and outer edges of the orange plastic seem designed to maximise irritation and dig into your skin. The rigid plastic nose "pads" just seem to dig into the sides of my nose. It sucks because during my work week, I could be spending up to 3 hours playing on my PC and these things are so irritating after just 20 minutes of wear. But i don't really have a choice at the moment.The design desperately needs some thought into some sort of soft rubber or foam edging or padding.

After reading an article comparing blue light blocking glasses, these came out on top.These block 100% blue light. The other much more expensive glasses tested (range £30-80) only blocked 20-50%; these all had a much lighter yellow tint which probably lead to the poorer performance.Uvex is a reputable brand and the glasses are very comfortable. The arms can be tilt adjusted and length adjusted. The arms wrap around the back of the ears so no chance of sliding off your face when looking down.They are a strong orange tint, but I am happy to get used to watching slightly orange TV etc if it helps me get better quality sleep long term.For the price I can not see any reason to go for any other glasses for the purpose of blocking blue light.Fantasticly comfortable and effective and from a known brand.
