GUNNAR - Blue Light Reading Glasses - Blocks 65% Blue Light - Vertex

I can't live without my Gunnar readers. I have purchased many other brands as I only need readers at this point in my life. This brand is in my opinion the best out there. The comfort, clarity and the lens also cuts the blue light like no other readers I've tried. I've spent quite a bit of money on readers throughout the years and I always go back to this brand. Every time I see the price drop, I buy another pair just to have them on hand because I keep forgetting where I leave them l o l. Sometimes the dog grabs them and eats them, so apparently they taste good too! I do wish they had more frames to choose from. Other than that, you can't beat these. They're excellent value, yes, you can get some cheap readers but why if you're just gonna keep replacing them constantly, because cheap readers don't last long, in my opinion. I wear mine about fourteen hours a day and these have saved my eyes. I don't feel any eye strain throughout the day after staring at the computer and I don't have headaches like I used to not to mention the line that was developing between my eyes on my forehead from squinting, has greatly dissipated after switching to this brand.

I bought them for "protective" eyewear when riding my road and mountain bike as I don't like to take my prescription glasses on the trail but need just a little help with the magnification. I think mine are either a +2.5 or +3, but they are awesome and comfortable for so many more applications than they are marketed for. Hey Gunnar, put them in the bike shops you'd sell more than the broke ass basement dwellers...like my kids.

Stunning quality and awesome product!!! These blue light readers are so very helpful and lessen the frequency of headaches. Gunnar are fabulous 👌

So far so good just got these the magnification is right on and I really like the slight tint. They look nice fit great not sure about durability yet but so far outside of prescription these are the nicest readers I had.

These are great for my purposes. I have astigmatism and use reading glasses for reading, watching TV, and driving. I got the 1.50X versions, as my previous 1.25X ones weren't 'cutting the mustard', as they say. These lower-power glasses don't have enough magnification to cause problems judging distance, etc., yet they do a great job allowing me to see details both up close and afar. I also like that these are yellow-tinted, which is a big help in preventing eyestrain and headaches caused while viewing phone/computer screens and the overwhelming blue light prevalent on gray days. They also have the added safety advantage of emphasizing warm colors like red lights and stop signs.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I had previously purchased a similar pair of Gunnar glasses, except that they weren't reading glasses. I liked the style and seemed pretty well made. When I noticed this pair were on sale I decided to give them a try. I'm very glad I did! The only thing I'd say to be aware of is that you will likely need to get a stronger pair than what you typically use. I had ordered a +1.5 pair since that's what I normally use, but when they arrived, I found they weren't strong enough. So, I gave that pair to my wife which are perfect for her, and I ordered another pair of +2.0. This turned out to be just right for my needs. Value for money: I thought $50 was a bit much, so I waited until they went on sale for about $20 off. Color: Onyx is classic and looks nice.

Optics seem good. Clear viewing, however mine arrived USED. Shipping was slow, and box was badly damaged as it was shipped in a plastic bag. Box was already opened when received (sealing label had already been cut through). Guess I'm grateful they weren't completely crushed in transit, but be aware that you are NOT buying NEW glasses. Mine had some face grease on the frames, and the frames are not the same as the photo (logo on the side is different), so for all I know they might be fakes. Pretty gross if I'm honest.

Box arrived a bit beat-up (other items in the same package were as expected, no distress). No biggie. No microfiber cloth included ... the care instructions say to use the included cloth. But the kicker? Smudges/streaks on both lenses. I don't expect those on a factory-new product. At first, I wondered if they might even be knock-offs. But I compared them with a friend's genuine pair, and the weight/feel/lenses appear the be the same. They match my regular 1.50x magnification.
