LifeArtUnisex Days Reading Glasses

light weight and comfortable..bought them for all my family in many different colours

I like these glasses a lot. I’m now on my third pair (but only because I’ve mislaid one of the pairs I purchased a year or so back and I always like to have at least one spare). They’re stylish, the lenses have remained unscratched for ages (unlike cheaper reading glasses I’ve had in the past) and they’re very effective when it comes to filtering out blue light, which is important for me because I do an awful lot of screen time. The only possible downside for some would be the shallowness of the temple tips, which makes the glasses more likely to slip off if the wearer has to look down a lot. However, they come supplied with slip-on temple tips that are a lot better at keeping those glasses attached to the head if necessary. The glasses are also supplied with an excellent hard case that fits easily in a trouser or jacket pocket, plus a mini screwdriver on a key ring for tightening up the hinge screws, which (so far) I’ve not had to use. I find the hinge screws on cheaper reading glasses work themselves loose all too easily, so that’s another good point as far as I’m concerned. All in all, these glasses are a great buy.

Do the job& service the purpose

I wear contact lenses for distance but need extra help with close work. These are light and make close work really sharp.

Its great and light. So far very good . A bit bigger for my face but that's a separate issue. If it lasts yes its worth a buy. Only time will tell how robust and durable it is.

[SPOILER ALERT] Wow! - As soon as I looked at my monitor, that was my reaction. Everything was so crisp! I'd been using some cheap ready readers - alternating between 1.0 (not quite strong enough) and 1.5 (a little too strong) - so I was expecting these 1.25s to be better, but there was more than that going on. Blue light? I'd barely paid any attention to that when I'd ordered. A few taking them on and off, looking at white things, and ... nope, I couldn't see the change in blue light. And then I found the laser... Huh!? A tiny little laser torch? WTF?! Actually, maybe it is a bright LED torch. After some faffing trying to insert a AAA battery the wrong way around, I got it working. Gosh! Yes! BIG difference! Big bright blue spot with, and much much less without. Looks like it filters the very far blue - almost UV range. Cool! Very pleased with this I proceeded to check out the rest of the package. Another surprise! A "blue light blocking test" card. Sounds dumb, right? No! It has a photosensitive white area that changes colour when you shine the blue LED on it! Never seen one of those before. You're supposed to shine the LED through the lens and see that the area does not change colour. Yup. True. So, in summary, well worth it for under £20. Puts Boots to shame. The only thing I don't like is the style, but I'll happily put up with it for the crisp views.

I suffer from headaches and scotoma from looking at the computer screen, scotoma typically at least once a day. Since I've used these glasses over the past month the 'blue' filter appears to have reduced this to just a handful of cases, so I believe these glasses work. Although they filter out part of the blue spectrum, this doesn't affect the appearance of colour, only perhaps making everything a little cooler in temperature, but to only a very negligible amount. They are expensive, but they appear to be the only readers on offer that have the filter. You can buy other much cheaper 'filtered' glasses that do not magnify, which might be useful for general and non-reading purpose if you suffer from headaches and scotoma.

I have many many pairs of reading glasses and these are my new favourites. Really appreciated the extras with the glasses too.
