Tested and Expert-Approved: The Best Blue Light Glasses to Protect Your Eyes From Digital Glare (2024)

Our Top Picks

The Felix Gray Jemison Glasses finished best overall during our testing thanks to their easy all-day wear. Our tester wore the Jemison glasses for full workdays and was impressed with how well their comfort and non-slip frames kept up even after 8-hour days.

While the frames are entirely plastic and not easily adjustable, our tester felt like the fit was just right. “They were very comfortable and didn't slip at all. I wore them for several 8-hour work days and didn't feel like they pinched or dug into the bridge of my nose whatsoever,” they said.

If you’re worried about the yellowish tint that normally comes with blue light glasses, this pair offers completely clear lenses. Our tester also loved the glare reduction, even on Zoom, though their comfort and style do come at a price. Our tester noted the cost was one of the only drawbacks. “The only thing I didn't like about it is the price: they're expensive,” they said. “If you're willing to invest in a pair of well-made blue light glasses, you'll likely be very happy with these.”

The Benicci Blue Light Glasses scored 5s across the board in our tests, impressing our tester with their lightweight design and wearability. “They are so light that I barely felt them on my nose and ears. And for someone who doesn't wear glasses normally, that's a big deal,” our tester said.

Their clear lenses also make for an easy transition for anyone not used to wearing glasses on a regular basis. Our tester did note that the frames may work better on smaller faces as there’s no way to easily adjust them. Users also note that the frames arrive with stickers on the lenses that may be a little difficult to remove without leaving residue behind.

The Warby Parker Thurston glasses were a top scorer in fit, which thoroughly impressed our tester. “These are really lightweight,” they said. “I almost forgot I had them on.”

The variety of lens choices on Warby Parker’s site made this our top pick for prescription wearers. You can buy the glasses in a non-prescription option, but you can also upload your prescription and have your blue light lenses custom fit to your eyes. Lenses come in reader, fatigue, single-vision, and progressive types, making it easy to combine your regular glasses and blue light lenses into one for all-day strain reduction.

While our tester thought the frames were a little less stylish than other blue light glasses in our picks, their no-frills wireframe design makes them easy to adjust during daily wear.

Product Details:

• Prescription Option: Yes
• Sizes: Medium and wide
• Available Colors: 2
• Return Policy: 30-day returns; six-month scratched lens replacements

The LensDirect Emory Glasses make it easy to bring blue light filters to your prescription glasses at about half the cost of other prescription frames. Lenses are available without a prescription, but you can also add your prescription for single-vision, readers, or progressive lenses. In addition to blue light blocking, lenses are also available with anti-reflective coating and scratch resistance.

Our tester loved the fit of these frames, saying that even though the frames are plastic they were comfortable on their ears and only occasionally slid during the day. They also noted that the lenses helped to reduce glare from off of screens, lessening eye strain throughout the day.

The Readerest Blue Light Blocking Reading Glasses scored top marks in our test for fit and clarity. Our tester raved about their hassle-free wear but noted that they weren’t anti-reflective, so they’re better suited to reading and computer work than Zoom meetings.

We love that these frames are available in 10 colors—making it easy to pick one that matches your style for all-day wear. Our tester liked the snug and secure fit of these lightweight frames, noting that it was easy to move between tasks on different devices while wearing them.

In addition to blue light blocking, Readerest’s lenses are also equipped with UV protection and scratch resistance. Users note that the lenses are not anti-reflective as advertised and may be distracting during video meetings.

Blue light often causes headaches after extended screen use, but if the frames don’t fit your face well (whether they’re too tight or too loose), they can contribute to pain throughout the day. The Peepers Shine On Blue Light Glasses impressed our tester both with their strain reduction and overall fit. “I love that the arms can flex outward, so they are easy to put on and take off,” our tester said. “The arms also didn't hurt behind my ears, even after hours of wear.”

Their overall strain reduction also earned top scores with our tester. “After one day, I noticed a slight difference—no headache. After a few wears, I felt these significantly helped reduce eye strain,” they said.

The only change our tester would have made is adding a case. “They are so pretty and they feel like a quality pair of glasses—so just throwing them in my purse felt strange,” they said.

If you have a smaller face, it can be difficult to find glasses that fit without having overly large lenses or nose pads that slide. The MVMT Everscroll Glasses come in 51 or 54 mm sizes, which our tester noted would be great for smaller faces.

In addition to the fit, our tester also loved the lens clarity and reduced pain the blue light lenses offered. “My eyes immediately felt better after putting these on. I was pretty amazed,” our tester said. “My sight is generally pretty bad and this definitely reduced strain.”

Our tester was so impressed by the clarity, they continued to wear them even outside of work: “I immediately noticed my screen look crisper and less harsh. I even often wear them while watching TV.”

These retro tinted wireframe glasses offer plenty of style while protecting your eyes from blue light. Our tester loved that the Caddis Blue Light Blockers stayed in place all day, not requiring constant adjustment like some other frames.

“I recommend this for folks who switch between digital devices often, since the glasses don't move when you move your head quickly,” they said. “I'm not concerned about them moving, even if I'm a little sweaty.”

While all of the Caddis Blue Light Blocker frames have tinted lenses, our tester noted that they offered perfect clarity for screens and made obvious improvements in helping to reduce strain.

Gamers spend a lot of time looking at plenty of different screen types and need something that works to block blue light from all of their devices. The Gunnar Optiks Razer Glasses feature a more noticeable amber tint meant to reduce glare and eye strain for extended screen use.

Our tester noted that they often experience negative side effects from screen use, but the tinted lenses made a noticeable difference. “I felt like they really did help, as I am a person who does often get eye fatigue/headache from staring at my screen all day,” they said.

If you’re not looking at a screen, however, you may notice some slight distortion at the edges of the lenses, but this isn’t an issue while focused on a device.

These comfortable and well-fitted glasses impressed our tested most with their lenses. “Much better than clarity from past pairs I've tried,” they said. “Nothing was blurred, fuzzy, or discolored and my view was sharp.”

While the glasses were comfortable and fit well, our tester said that the lenses were a little big. “Not anything I'd want to be wearing during a work meeting,” they said while noting that they wore them the rest of the day without issues.

If you like to take your screens outside, transition lenses with blue light-blocking capabilities Eye Buy Direct’s Escape Glasses may be a great choice for you. Our tester noted that the glasses transitioned seamlessly between indoor and outdoor work, with lenses that made it easy to see screens in either environment. These glasses are also prescription-ready in addition to their blue light and transition lenses.

Our tester was also impressed by how comfortable the frames were in addition to how well the lenses seemed to block blue light. “I've tried my fair share of prescription glasses and blue light glasses—especially in college,” they said. “This pair of glasses is by far the most comfortable and effective pair I've worn.”

While the body is made of plastic and not easy to adjust, our tester noted that the frames only slipped when looking directly down at their phone during the day.
