10 Best Blocking Glasses for Sleeps
for December 2023

These THL Blue Light Blocking Eyeglasses are an excellent buy, in part because they're cheap and in part because THL offers a lifetime guarantee. The frames are sturdy, the lenses are of great quality, and the lenses block blue light very well. The amber lens tint is also better for night vision than red lenses, and these glasses are lightweight and comfortable. The lenses are also anti-reflective, anti-glare, and scratch-resistant, and they offer UV protection. The lenses are large and oval shaped, so they're good for wider faces (and they fit most heads), and they also offer adjustable nose pads. The frames are sturdy, and they come with four lense sizes, so they'll fit most people. These glasses are money well spent.

We've tested dozens of blue light blocking glasses, and while the Vyzia Clip-On Blue Light Blocking Glasses for Sleep didn't perform quite as well as the best we've tested, it's among the best. Vyzia's glasses are equipped with orange lenses that block 70% of blue light, and these glasses have a better fit than any of the others we've tested. These glasses also have a unique slide-on design that makes them easier to use than other blue light blocking glasses, and they also have less blue light than the best we've tested. These glasses do block blue light, but they also block a good amount of red light, which is great if you want to use them for reading. (However, they don't block as much blue light as sunglasses.) These glasses are inexpensive, so they're a great choice if you need blue light blocking glasses, but they aren't as comfortable or as effective at blocking blue light as our top two picks, so if that's important to you, we recommend the Gunnar Optiks Blue Light Blocking Glasses.

The Blue Blocking Glasses from PaleoTech are by far our top pick for blue light blocking glasses. They're comfortable to wear, the lenses block 99.9% blue light, and they're very effective at blocking blue-green light. These glasses are also great if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder, eye strain, or have trouble getting to sleep. The lenses are completely transparent, and they block 92% of total light as well as 99.9% of blue light. They can be left on your nightstand in case you wake up at night, and they don't interfere with your ability to see objects or people. The flip-up arm is easy to adjust, and these glasses are also comfortable to wear. The lenses have a soft, rubberized finish, which can feel a bit strange at first, but it's comfortable after a few minutes. The lenses also have a scratch-resistant coating, which is nice. The frames are sturdy, and they are adjustable to fit most faces. The lenses are also adjustable, so you can make them as dark or as light as you want. The package includes two pairs of lenses and a carrying bag. The lenses block all wavelengths of light, so they're perfect for indoor use, but they can also be used outdoors. The lenses have a 50-year warranty, and the frames have a lifetime guarantee.

The FitOver glasses are easy to use, comfortable, and effective at blocking blue light, especially compared with other glasses that we tested. The glasses fit over most prescription or reading glasses, and they come with a hard case and drawstring bag. They are tinted a slightly darker orange, which renders them fairly similar to prescription sunglasses. After a few days, the tinting does fade a bit, but the effect is still noticeable. The FitOver glasses are more comfortable than glasses that we tested that block blue light using similar technology (e.g., ZEISS's Digital Light Filter, for example), and we found that the FitOver glasses blocked far more blue light than the competing glasses we tested. The FitOver glasses are also slightly more comfortable than glasses that block blue light using polarized lenses, and they block far more blue light than glasses that block blue light using anti-reflective lenses. The FitOver glasses are a good value, and, unlike the other glasses that we tested, they don't block other wavelengths of light, such as red, green, or yellow. The FitOver glasses are slightly more expensive than some other glasses that we tested, but, like the competing glasses we tested, they are less expensive than prescription blue-blockers, and they last longer than blue-blockers, which need to be purchased every 1-2 years.

The Merci Blue Light Blocking Fit Over Computer Glasses are an excellent option for anyone who spends a lot of time looking at a computer screen, reading, or using a computer. They're comfortable, simple, and won't interfere with your vision. And the amber tinted lenses, which block about 98% of blue light, provide just the right amount of protection without distorting colors or distorting your vision. Best of all, they're fully compatible with most prescription glasses, and come in at under $30, making them a good value.

Livhò Blue Light Blocking Computer Gaming Glasses are one of the best computer gaming glasses that we tested. The UV protection and glare reduction means you won't have to strain your eyes while gaming, and the blue blocking glasses are comfortable to wear. The lenses are transparent and scratch resistant, so you won't have to worry about scratching them when cleaning them. The blue light filters are laser-cut and lighter than most blue light filters. The computer gaming glasses have a thin frame that makes them comfortable to wear. The blue light filters are removable, so you can easily take them with you and swap them out if you become tired of them. The glasses are reasonably priced, and we recommend them if you need blue light blocking glasses for gaming or working in front of a computer.

The Swannies Classic Night Swannies offer a nice balance of function and style. They're sturdy, lightweight, and easy to clean, and they feel well-made. The lenses do a great job of blocking blue light, though they won't completely block it. They're comfortable, and they don't slip around when wearing them. The orange tint doesn't distort images, and it's subtle enough that it doesn't obscure your vision. The glasses also filter blue light, so they're good for long, well-lit gaming sessions. They don't offer quite as much protection as some other blue light-blocking glasses we've tested, but they're more than good enough for most situations. They're also a good value, and we think most gamers or night owls will like them.

Sleep ZM glasses are an excellent choice for anyone looking for glasses that reduce eye strain, headaches, migraines and insomnia. They block 99.9% of blue light, including 480-520 nm, the ZONE OF MELTDOWN. They also reduce digital contrast, making it easier for your eyes to focus and less likely to suffer eye strain and headaches. They don't look quite as stylish as some other glasses, but they offer better protection and are more comfortable to wear. They clip on easily to just about any pair of prescription or reading glasses and can be easily adjusted to fit different eye sizes. They come with a cloth bag and a carrying case.

The Element LUX glasses are very comfortable, and seem well designed. The frame is sturdy and the lenses are thick, so they don't look or feel cheap. The frame is flexible, so it fits nicely over your nose and across your face. The lenses are large enough for eyes of all sizes. They are amber in color, which is my favorite color for sunglasses. The frame is very flexible, so you can adjust them to fit over smaller noses, or hold them over a larger nose. The amber color blocks 99% of the blue light spectrum. This makes them perfect for watching tv, for computer use, and for gaming. The color is darker than some blue blocker glasses, so it makes reading easier, and the colors on tv and computer screens look more vibrant. The blue light filter also works well for reading, but for more extreme light, you may want to use a different pair. The glasses are easy to clean, and just need to be wiped clean with a soft cloth. They come with a microfiber cloth, a travel case, and a cleaning cloth. The glasses also help with the glare that comes through on car windows, so if you've been having trouble driving at night, these glasses will make a big difference. My only complaint is the price. These glasses are $100, which is a lot of money for blue blocker glasses. The Element LUX glasses are good quality, but others are cheaper, and they work just as well.

When I wore my first set of amber glasses, I was struck by the difference I could see in my vision. My eyes felt tired, and I had a hard time reading. The amber shades completely eliminated that. Now, I'm used to wearing amber shades at night, and I can honestly say that they work. They're much more comfortable than my prescription glasses, and they block light better than any glasses I've ever worn. The amber tint makes my peripheral vision less cluttered, too, and my eyes feel less tired. The glasses are reasonably priced, too, and they're so stylish that you won't mind wearing them. The glasses are durable, too, and I never worry about breaking them, even after wearing them every night.
