Spectra479 Clip-on Blue Blocking Eye Wear

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.

For others like myself who refuse to follow the medical recommendation to turn off the TV [or phone] an hour or more before bedtime, these are game changers.I want to watch TV using my prescription lenses, so I specifically wanted a lightweight clip-on solution. The spring-loaded clipping mechanism works fine and should fit over lenses approaching 1/4 inch thick. It's too soon to know, but I hope it will continue to work through many on-off cycles in the coming months and years.Note that these do not 'flip up', which I perceive to be a positive. I didn't want to pay more for that feature; I don't want extra parts adding weight and being something else to break; and intermittently seeing blue at night seems to me to defeat the whole purpose.I just watched a video by a scientist who claims that blue-blocking lenses need not wrap around the side of your eyes. Blue rays in your peripheral vision are an almost insignificant part of the nighttime problem. He alleges most of the receptors of interest are located in or near the retina. I conclude the clip-on solution is sufficiently effective for my purposes.These lenses appear to be made from the amber-colored material. I see no evidence that these are clear lenses with a cheap colored coating as I've heard is the case for other similar products. It's too soon to tell if these have any scratch-resistance, and I probably wouldn't have wanted to pay extra for such a feature, but I intend to handle them carefully and then faithfully store them in the nice case they arrived in.Somebody somewhere is going to complain that blue-blocking makes things "look weird". So does taking Sildenafil where everything looks blue. So does scuba diving where the reds become undetectable. It's not a matter of clarity - the lenses seem flawless - it's what the world looks like without [the majority of] blue color. The benefits are worth the effort to adapt to things looking this way for an hour or so at the end of each day.I didn't want to invest a bunch of time right now researching the science behind this - I just wanted to block a huge part of the blue light spectrum and see if I could improve what my sport watch has been telling me is 'poor' sleep. The results from the first night were promising, but I knew it was entirely possible that other factors could be responsible. Several weeks' sleep reinforced the first night's findings - these lenses definitely improve what my watch detects for sleep quality, and there's no question that I fall asleep almost immediately now.This is a well-made product that performs exactly as needed, purchased hassle-free, and delivered promptly. I think the value of improved sleep for this price is exceptional. I would highly recommend Spectra479 lenses in any form factor from Zendustries.

Normally I dont post reviews but I am just overly satisfied with this product.My life style consists of a lot of screen time (14+ hours a day) I knew if I wanted to maintain eye health and longevity I needed a change. I’ve never heard of blue light blockers until my brother raved about them and said how great they areEver since wearing these glasses my eyes no longer feel tired and my quality of sleep has also improved! I didn’t think this would help much as the research behind blue light blockers is mixed. But personally I’ve never felt better than wearing the day and night ones.If you are someone who does not sit in front of screens for 10+ hours I don’t know if I can recommend as I don’t think it’d make much of a difference. But for people who’s lifestyle revolves around looking at a computer for work and then go home to gaming for a few hours. Then I would consider this a long term investment.I’m very happy with the quality, the durability, and even the color outputs of both lenses.If you are on the fence about this, please do you and I a huge favor and buy it!!

I am nearsighted and have to wear glasses. I have to take my glasses off when I read or use my cell phone or laptop computer. These clip-ons do not work for those uses. It works fine for watching TV. I presently do not have reading glasses. I read or do close-up work by removing my glasses.
