Spectra479 Clip-on Blue Light Blocking Eyewear

I like to read on my laptop or watch TV before I go to bed, but then I don't sleep well. I also spend a lot of time on a computer during the day, so I tend to get a lot of eye strain. I had heard that these type of glasses would help. I was skeptical, but decided to give them a try. They are amazing! They clip easily and comfortably on my glasses. I actually forget I'm wearing the yellow ones. The red ones are great for nighttime. I sleep better and my eye strain has reduced dramatically. Great product and worth every penny.

They arrived today, the packaging was awesome, very upscale, durable. I've been wearing them since about 6 this evening, so far my eyes are not stinging, they don't feel sticky and tired. I've been staring at computer screens for the last 6 hours non stop, by now I usually am rubbing my eyes a lot. I don't know how this is going to effect me long term, if I can remember Ill come give an updated review in a couple of weeks. On first try though I am very impressed with them. Oh and how's this for cool...in the package was a hand written sticky note from the manufacturer, I am so happy about this purchase, Ill likely be purchasing the day time ones as well. Im really interested to see how these do while Im driving, if they can help tone down those brighter than need be headlights people keep blindin me with! Heres the update: Its been nearly 10 days since I started wearing them, no gritty eye, they don't even feel tired, my body is tired from the whole being awake at night thing but not my eyes. I don't feel like there are 10k needles poking my eyelids when I blink, no headache, I think less overall tension in my eye/head area. Im not squinting to try and keep my eyes from being flooded by all the brightness. I work nights and I have to stare at computer screens a lot but there is no bloodshot or even irritation going on. So yes, still a winner, matter of fact I think I just talked a co worker into buying some. Thank God for talented people who make good products we the people can use!

So I've been doing a lot of research on this stuff and trying to figure out what would be the best option... - I knew that I needed something that would just clip over my prescription glasses, because I didn't want to have to put on my contacts to use a product. - A friend recommended blue light glasses for general sleep hygiene, which may in turn help with my ADHD symptoms. While I can't speak on that just yet, I will set a reminder to update this review in a week so that I can assess sleep quality/motivation stuff. If it improves sleep quality, I will update my review. -I also would like to add that this is NOT a paid review, which I've been super wary of when it comes to Amazon reviews. I am hesitant to trust rave/ "BUY THIS NOW!!!" type reviews. I decided to write a review so that people like me might have an easier decision process when it comes to newer products that might be considered snake oil. PROS: -Definitely block out blue light. I am wearing the amber lenses. While outside, I accidentally put regular garbage into my blue recycling bin instead of the black one. -Easy spring mechanism to clip on. I don't need a flip-up, and I read that they didn't add it to minimize weight. I don't know how much it would add to the weight, but the clip-ons are definitely light enough for my needs. -Noticeably ease eye strain. I didn't realize how much direct sunlight caused eyestrain, but it definitely made a difference outside (no squinting, less need for my eyes to adjust). -Satisfactory build quality. I haven't compared them other glasses, but these definitely do not feel like I was scammed/cheap-ed out on. -Comes with a microfiber(?) carrying case. CONS: -The glasses are very slightly asymmetrical in assembly on the spring mechanism, which doesn't affect the functionality of the glasses. If the company is not a huge manufacturer (which I've read they are not), I can forgive this. -I did notice there was a slight bit of glare reflected when faced away from the sun. -There's not much pizzazz with the box it comes in, nor any special offers/marketing material, but I guess it's a pretty utilitarian purchase. CONCLUSION: While these are higher in price than other products, I think the overall blue-blocking is very effective. The build quality is good, but not 100% perfect. The design is simple, and it covers my larger-frame high bridge lenses quite well-- probably about 1/4 of an inch is not covered on my lenses. I also like the retro look, but this is just personal preference. Won't make any recommendations for anyone else, but I'll say I don't regret the purchase. EDIT 7/29/21: So I've been using them for a little bit now, and I can say that I like them a lot. They seemed to have a pretty good effect on making me able to sleep faster -- I could be on my phone in bed and still feel the need to sleep. It's difficult to say on whether the overall quality of my sleep is better, but I think the ability to fall asleep easier is worth it to me. They are well made and worth the cost, IMO.

These clip-ons appear to be very effective in blue light blocking. I've only used a few nights but I do believe it is already helping with my sleep patterns. I've only really used the nighttime so far about 2 hours before bedtime and I seem to be waking up less during the night and getting into a deeper sleep. I tried the daytime lenses and they are pleasant to wear and do not affect your ability to see clearly. Time will tell if this is a long term solution; I had suspected my exposure to electronics all night started to affect my sleep negatively. These clip-ons (both day and night versions) are pretty well constructed and high quality and would fit a variety of glasses but not all. The shape and size luckily fits my own glasses pretty well. I can't give a 5th star yet as I'm not sure this will be a long term solution; the other factor that keeps it from a 5 rating is they probably would not fit all glasses and the clips although sturdy are a little thick and my nose is essentially resting on them so it's slightly less comfortable than it could be. I suppose they would be 5 and perfect with glasses that accommodate this feature. The clip-ons are well packaged and with protective cases and cloth bag to keep them safe.

This is a great item to relieve your eyes from fatigue with blue screen.. when I watch TV with these on before I go to bed ,I sleep better and easier to fall asleep. I only have the amber color so it changes the color on your screen. Never tried the clear ones. I bought one for each of my family members.they are clip on so they fit perfectly over my eyeglasses.

This is a fantastic product. Could not be more pleased with the purchase. Everything about it stands out. I hope the vendor who produces and sells them is doing well. I purchased a long time ago and should have given a review then but I have had them for a long time now and used them routinely so its better now. Sounds silly but everything about them was impressive. The plastic case came in a silky pouch that can be used to actually clean the lenses. The case itself is sturdy plastic that protects them perfectly and holds it tightly so they don't rattle around. The way they attach to the glasses is very well executed, as in they don't just slide over but have a sturdy spring action that makes certain they stay snug and never fall off and go on easily and then THEY WORK! I remember when I received them there was a little note that said they were a small family business so if I could give a review it would go a long way. It was one of those....oh I really ought to do it thing you don't end up doing but here I am by chance and feel compelled to do as I thought I should some time back. Hope their business is doing great and I would buy again except they still work perfectly after a few years and I STILL HAVE THE CASE AND THE LITTLE POUCH THEY CAME JN

These are fantastic glasses, very helpful when looking at any screen in the evening. Occasionally I forget to put them on and I realize it when my eyes start becoming really strained. The minute I put these on I can feel the muscles behind my eyes relax and it’s a huge difference. I do believe they allow me to sleep better when I wear these before bedtime. And I am certain that I fall asleep more quickly. I think that the quality of these glasses definitely justifies the cost. The other reason I gave this five stars is because the customer service is very impressive and helpful. I had a question, and it was answered within 24 hours.

My eyes have been blood red (bloodshot) for over a year. Eyes constantly watering & burning. I went to an eye specialist and he said it was an infection and gave me eye drops. I went through two prescriptions of it and it didn't work. I spend a lot of time online so I thought it might be eyestrain. I have good prescription eyeglasses with supposedly a blue blocker in the Nikon lenses, but it's not very strong. So I thought I'd try these clip-ons on top of my glasses to see if it would help. It did! Instant relief! I wish I would have tried these sooner. Hopefully my eyes will clear up now. Yes indeed I recommend these!

Hola amigos, quiero reseñar acerca de estos lentes....Yo presentaba mucha irritacion en los ojos , siempre estaban secos, con vision borrosa, afectacion en la agudeza visual con varias dioptrias, y con molestia en general que la atribuia sencillamente a un estado precario de salud ocular.......usaba otros lentes de otro fabricante que supuestamente detenian la emsion de luz dañina, asi lo creia yo pero...... !! SORPRESA !! Empiezo a usar siempre estas gafas milagrosas al estar en la computadora y al ver mi celular y en cuestion de UNA SEMANA mis ojos se sienten mucho menos irritados, la resequedad se fue por completo, ya no tengo vision borrosa y ademas veo con mas agudeza.......TODOS MIS PROBLEMAS LOS OCASIONABA LA MALDITA PANTALLA DE LA COMPUTADORA Y DEL CELULAR !!!!!! RECOMIENDO UN MILLON DE VECES A TODO MUNDO QUE USE ESTAS MARAVILLOSAS GAFAS SI TIENE LOS MISMOS PROBLEMAS QUE MENCIONO, SON FANTASTICAS Y ESTOY MUY FELIZ DE HABERLOS COMPRADO

The lens quality is good, they do not cause distortion compared to other ones I tried before. They don't flip up and down, but that doesn't matter to me, I actually prefer that because the clip-on is lighter and less bulky than those that flip up and down. I like them so much that I bought 4 pairs of their glasses to give to my kids and grand kids.

I work a desk job that requires me to stare at excel sheets and documents for hours with multiple screens, the clip on lenses have been a game changer for me, be it at work or at home. Blue light toxicity is a real thing in our digital age where all eyes appear glued to screens be it toddlers or seniors . . overall i am satisfied with the product and highly recommend it for others as well. I have personally used clear lense "blue light blockers" but after using these lenses from spectra, i know this is the real deal.

After a few weeks of using this upon receipt, I feel it has been money well spent. My eyes thank me (and this) for feeling less strained and it also belongs to my arsenal in (long term) improvement of my eyesight. I have had no problems with the clip-on yet. It can feel a little flimsy but as long as you are careful with it (which you should with any item of value), I think it should last a long time. Even if it has to be replaced, I would think at the price point, these are very good value blue light blockers. Thank you to the creator and he even included a hand written note to thank you for the purchase. Nice touch and authenticity. Please keep making good products! Highly recommended.

These are good quality clip-ons. Like any new eyewear, they take a couple of hours to get used to. Yes, you can see the mounts when you first use them but after using them, I don't notice it anymore. They also add a bit of weight to your glasses but this is unavoidable but not a major issue for my use. They do in fact help you become more sleepy if used a couple hours before bed.
