Our take
Stay fashionable while protecting your eyes.
So, I tried these Warby Parker Blue Light Glasses because, you know, staring at screens all day can feel like you're burning your eyeballs out. They claim to reduce eye strain and help you sleep better because of the blue light filter. I gotta say, they do feel more comfortable than going without. My eyes aren't as tired by the end of the day, which is a nice change. Plus, they look pretty slick, so you don’t feel like you’re wearing some dorky computer glasses. Stylish and functional, not a bad combo!
But here's the thing: are they magic? Nah, not really. They don’t totally erase eye strain, but they definitely take the edge off. If you're expecting them to be some miracle fix for all your screen-related woes, you might want to dial back your expectations. Still, for a decent price, they offer some relief, and that’s not nothing. Just remember, they're more like a comfy pair of shoes than a full-on massage for your eyes.
The build quality is pretty solid, which is what I've come to expect from Warby Parker. The frames don’t feel flimsy, and they sit well on the face. You can tell they put some thought into the design, which is always appreciated when you're shelling out for something you’re gonna wear a lot. They’ve got a bunch of styles, so you can find something that suits your vibe. No one wants to look like an extra from a sci-fi film, right?
One thing to note, though, is that these glasses might not be for everyone. If you’ve got a strong prescription, you might find the blue light filter affects the clarity a bit. It’s a bit of a trade-off between clearer vision and less eye strain. So, if you’re super picky about visual clarity, you might want to try them out in person before committing.
Overall, I’d say these Warby Parker Blue Light Glasses are worth considering if you’re dealing with screen fatigue. They’re not going to transform your life, but they can make staring at your computer for hours a little more bearable. Just keep in mind the hype doesn’t always match the reality. They’re a handy tool, but not a cure-all. If you’re cool with that, then they might just be a smart addition to your everyday routine.
