LifeArt Blue Light Blocking Glasses - Anti Eyestrain for Computer & Gaming - Golden Frame

I’ve been using reading glasses for a good 10-12 years now. I had to keep going back to the $42 Scojo Gels to be fully satisfied. Especially when it came to “clear vision”, meaning NO distortion anywhere in the lens, from any angle. Distortion on cheaper glasses tends to happen around the “edges” of the lens. This Life Arts brand delivers that “crystal clear vision” I have to have, and does so with the blue light blocking benefit to boot, which Scojo Gels don’t offer, and they do so without “tinting” the lenses that ugly yellowish color, although some of their models do do that, but I’m happy with a lower blocking ability, I think it’s 37%, vs like 50-60% for the yellow tinted styles. Im happy with this model and one other style in this brand, I bought, which is my favorite, simply because the lens height is several mm’s less, and while they are only semi rimless, meaning a frame on the top half, the rim is so thin it looks rimless. I was happy to just have that one good pair but when I saw in my watch list, this style dip significantly in price, I grabbed as a back up pair. So I now have 2 blue blocker pair and several other brands of regular cheaper readers. In past years ALL cheaper brands, like under $15-$20, for a single pair, would have distorted lens areas, at some viewing angle, so I would only buy brands that outright said “clear vision” or my favorite, “optical quality”, or similar wording. I was, and still am, amazed at how many brands and sellers don’t mention ANYTHING about the lens quality. It’s all about durability and style, which are secondary in my book. Having said that though, the reading glass industry seems to have maybe crossed a milestone in their evolution, in regards to “clear vision”. Although I did just send back a pair of those rimless slim “Fisherman” glasses, a couple months ago because the distortion was significant at the top and bottom edges, and even had a a warp or something in the middle of one lens. They go for around $12 but got mine in the Amazon “warehouse”, used, which means good as new, so I only paid $4 something ... wanted to give em a try with their high 4+ star rating, but all they did is confirm my old rule of thumb suspicion about distortions with cheaper glasses. Since then I’ve bought several cheaper pairs that are remarkably distortion free. Like the brand Double Take, which were about the best of the “cheap” brands I’d tried in the past, and they’re now even better. Anyhow, since then I bought the cheapest glasses of any cheapies anywhere ever, on Amazon, a colorful mixed set, of 4 pair, for $5.99.. . And not on sale, that’s their everyday price ... and I couldn’t believe it ... crystal clear lenses. No distortion. So I take it the tech is finally catching up to the lower end of the market, where even cheap brands will start to offer good clear viewing. — I do prefer a slightly smaller frame than this style I’m reviewing here, and the size of this style is at the maximum size I would ever consider. But that’s a personal preference, people seem to like the bigger frames nowadays. So I suggest paying attention to the measurements, and if they’re in line with what you like, these are a home run.They are Pretty and I like Pretty in my reading glasses. Comes carefully packaged, does have a lanyard eyeglasses holder and does nor scratch easily. Mine are a little too wide for my head but that can be fixed. SO if you gotta big head, need PRETTY reading glasses, get these!The glasses are light, beautiful, the lens clear and the anti blue light actually makes a difference on eye strain. I want more from the same brand, but these are the only ones with +0.5 that are covered by prime free shipping, the rest have pretty hefty shipping charges. Still a lot cheaper than what my optometrist office offered to order for $360 - ha! I'd rather pay S&H and still end up with a second pair for $30 than pay 12 times that at the optometrist.I love these, not your typical granny reading glasses and actually are stylish and make me feel not so bad for having eyes that are getting old. They are very light so not heavy if I want to wear all day long and sometimes I need to. Worth every dollar.....These glasses did look very pretty while wearing them. They were comfortable and I THINK they were accurate. However, I couldn’t get used to wearing them.When you order them, pick the highest strength you need. That will be what’s at the bottom of the lens. Then it will progressively get weaker until it reaches half of the full strength and that’s what will be at the top of the lens. I’m used to regular bifocals though so these just didn’t work for me.However, if you DO like to wear progressive lenses, I think these would be the ones!I won’t give them anything else than 5 stars because of MY inability!!They are so light you don't know they are there..non slip nose ♡ frames are well made so thin they look like they would be fragile but they are just the opposite...soooooo pretty on!!! Even comes with lil gifts.. case, cleaning rag, replacement nose guards if you loose yours..and a tiny screwdriver with replacement screws set that hooks to your keys ..only dislike is they are onky magnified so you can't just continue to ware after reading or everything 'lurs and you get instant h eadache.They were great while they lasted; Ieft them in an Uber ride just a few days ago. But while wearing them, the bridge of my nose would feel sore.So I purchased a different pair where the arms were flexible; only they bend so easily that that glasses always lay crooked on my face. I look like a sloppy drunk ?.In closing, I guess I still need a pair of both and save a pair of Art Alloy Readers for outside use, and the "sloppy" pair for home.Fit is great. Not heavy at all. Not cheap looking either. But it came with minor chip on bottom of the lens. I’m going to keep it though.
