๐Ÿ‘“ The Blue Blocker Database

Explore the largest blue-blocker database in the world! Find the perfect pair and buy with confidence. The desktop experience is recommended.

Learn About the Database:

You can easily sort the table by Sleep, Computer, or Migraine.

We’ve categorized the lenses as simply as we could, if you’re looking for an evening pair for better sleep and melatonin production, go with a Sleep pair.

If you’re looking to cut down on some blue light during the day, go with a Computer pair.

If you’re looking to try out a more unique lens for migraines or light sensitivity, check out the Migraine glasses!

Finally we’ve added a Kids filter if you’re looking for brands that have smaller glasses for children.

Instead of just arbitrarily stating how much blue or green light is blocked, we’ve also denoted how much Circadian Light has been blocked.

Circadian Light is a metric derived through an advanced algorithm developed by the LHRC which looks at a light source’s overall spectrum and how likely it is to interact with human circadian biology.

This weighs the light that falls within the melanopic sensitivity range and gives it a score based on how much light is present in that range.

circadian stimulus graph

Since your environment will largely determine the lux levels, we’ve gone ahead and shown the percentage reduction seen from various glasses.

You can read more about circadian stimulus here.

Each pair of glasses we test is visually compared to a full-spectrum light source.

An example of the spectrum of light before and after the glasses are worn.

This gives you a handy way to check which brands block which kinds of light and roughly how much.

Spitschan, M., Nam, S., & Veitch, J. A. (2022). luox: Platform for calculating quantities related to light and lighting [Software]. Available from https://luox.app/.

We also show you how just how much violet, blue, and green light is reduced through each lens. Below are the wavelength ranges we’ve gone with for these colors.

Nanometer Ranges:

  • Violet: 380 – 435
  • Blue: 435 – 495
  • Green: 495 – 570

We’ve calculated the perceived brightness reduction by looking at lux changes through lenses.

Lux is simply a measurement of how much light exists within the spectral sensitivity window of the human eye.

In other words, lux is how bright a light source is.

Some glasses block more lux and less circadian light than others. And some go the other way.

If you’re looking to maximize melatonin production, but still want to see as well as possible, look for a pair with low lux reduction and high circadian light reduction.

On the other hand, a bright light source can be harmful to sleep regardless of the spectrum, so if you’re in a particularly bright environment, or already have trouble sleeping, looking for a pair of glasses with high lux reduction may be beneficial, though visibility will suffer.

To keep things simple we’ve aimed to test lenses rather than individual pairs of glasses themselves.

The style of the glasses you choose, however, will determine how effective they are.

Most styles will block most of the light. However, if you have sleeping problems or find yourself especially susceptible to short-wavelength light at night, consider your style selection carefully.

Wraparound and Fitover glasses that don’t let a lot of light in through the sides will naturally block more light than a stylish pair with the same lenses.

Gunner glasses is also blue light filtering. Could you do a comparison of that brand please?
Thank you.

Do you mean a separate blog post of some kind? We have tested three of their lenses which can be found in the table above under the brand โ€œGunnarโ€

Hey, thanks so much for building this resource, I have severe delayed sleep phase disorder and it can be so hard to sift through info about helpful options online when so much of it bunk. Boncharge has stuff on their website selling energy balancing stickers for your phone. It’s just hard to navigate your options when a lot of it overlaps with pseudo scientific nonsense.

I’d really love to see you do a review of the brand “blublocker”, especially their “bullet” model with the wraparound lens- they’re an old brand I think from the 80s that’s always marketed themselves around being blublocking. I’m thinking about getting some and was wondering how they compare. Though I’m sure they cant be completely green blocking since some folks use them for driving and presumably they can still see green lights.

Sometimes I have to stay awake in order to do certain stuff if I won’t be able to wake up in time, like run a time sensitive errand, or at one point it was the only way I’d be able to vote, so being able to see green lights while driving is pretty helpful, even if they’re not perfect for sleep. If I get some, would it be helpful for me to ship them to you to test, and then you could send them to me?

Thanks for all your time put into these datebases and reviews. DSPD has had a major impact on my life and I’m still learning to live with it- resources like this are of tremendous help. Hope you’re doing well and that you had a lovely holidays!

Hi Chris thanks so much for the comment! I agree the whole blue blocking industry is a bit buzzwordy and it’s hard to sift through all the information and know what’s true, that’s pretty much why I started this.

I’ll grab some BluBlockers lenses to test myself so don’t worry about sending anything in!

Have a lovely holiday season yourself ๐Ÿ˜€

Could you specify which Block Blue Light glasses were tested? Your link on the “light yellow” lenses leads to their selection of totally clear lenses so I’m confused. Your link for that brand listed as “yellow” is the light yellow DayLights, “amber” is the darker Sundown, and “dark amber” is a red lens called NightFall. The brand has 4 lens type and you tested 4, I’m just confused why their clear lens is listed here as light yellow and their crimson is listed as dark amber. Makes me think they’ve changed the lenses since you tested. The “light yellow” 20% links to what are very definitely clear lenses. Described by the brand as crystal clear and the photos are of clear lenses. Either something has changed, or they somehow have a crystal clear lens with 20% circadian reduction… or they’re fibbing wildly about those lenses being clear.

Good questions Jennilynn!

Block Blue Lights lenses are a bit misleading. For one the difference between their Sundown and Nightfall lenses is almost nonexistent in reality, while on their website they appear quite a bit different in color.

This extends to the “clear” lenses which are in fact slightly yellow, see the product review photos on this page for example:

Can you review the “Bosch 57-GLASSES Laser View Enhancing Glasses?”

The DEWALT is one is not available in most stores on the internet except some more sketchy sites. I’d prefer not to fork 80 bucks on some cheaply made true darks. Thanks in advance!

Very great information! I love when people make real science and do actual measurements. Why did you choose a reference light source that emits almost no UV? I’m particularly interested in how these lenses filter out UV as well! For instance, I’m thinking about purchasing Zenni Blokz glasses for everyday wear and would appreciate confirmation that they effectively filter UV light (including UVC, UVB, and UVA up to 400 nm). It’s disappointing that your light source only begins at 395nm.

Thank you!

Initially, the idea was to simply verify how well these blocked artificial blue and violet light and I didn’t have a spectrometer that could measure the UV range when I began this database.

I’m hoping to improve this one day with those metrics measured as well.

Hello. I was wondering if you could test out the Zenni Blockz Plus gray tint? Apparently, that tint is supposed to be the tint that blocks the most blue light.

Iโ€™ve been using SomniLight blue blocking glasses, especially their wrap-around style that work great at blocking out almost all side/above/below light. Iโ€™d love to know if theyโ€™re as effective as I feel like they are! ๐Ÿ™‚

Could you test the red PaleoTech glasses next time you test. I was switching between them and the new red TrueDark glasses I just bought while I was watching a TV show that was showing a blue sky scene and I could see more blue with the TrueDark than with the cheaper PaleoTech ones, and the PT ones had larger lenses that didnโ€™t let much light in compared to the TDs.

For Theraspecs, what does FL-41 Light and FL-41 Dark mean? I just ordered some Theraspecs with lens type “Sleep”, and I’m not sure if that one is tested or not.

Just found this a few days agoโ€”this database is amazing!! Super helpful for comparing different brands and models

Do you anyone have thoughts on this one or the brand? https://amzn.eu/d/imAhk3q

Iโ€™m looking for something similar to the Spectra 479 (https://amzn.eu/d/4rDETZR): wraparound fit, sport-style (not like the TrueDark Twillight ones), but without spending 50 bucks. Tried the Infield glasses but wasnโ€™t a fan of the style.

Thank you so much!

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for the incredible work you do! Your contributions are invaluable for those of us who spend most of our time studying digitally from screens. I truly appreciate that you remain active on Reddit, consistently posting and responding to comments and questionsโ€”this level of engagement is greatly appreciated.

Now, moving to the topic Iโ€™d like to address, I want to ask about the Livho brand of blue light glasses. This brand is currently the top result for โ€œblue light glassesโ€ on Amazon and is the #1 best seller in this category. The Livho clear-lensed glasses, in particular, have thousands of reviews and are incredibly popular.

I noticed that Livho glasses are not included in your blue light blocker database, but considering their widespread popularity and how many people rely on them, I believe thereโ€™s a strong incentive to analyze and include them in your database. These glasses are known for their stylish and โ€œnormalโ€ look, which sets them apart from many other blue light glasses that feel more โ€œartificial.โ€ Personally, I think theyโ€™re among the best-looking blue light glasses available. On top of that, theyโ€™re highly affordable.

It would be fantastic if you could analyze the Livho glassesโ€”both the clear-lensed and amber-lensed versionsโ€”and provide the blue light, violet light, and green light blocking percentages for them. It would be really interesting to know how effective they actually are.

Hereโ€™s the link to the Livho glasses on Amazon: Livho Glasses on Amazon

Thank you for your attention, and Iโ€™d be thrilled to see a follow-up on this!

The “Amber” lenses from Gunnar are actually a light yellow color, so the ones I have listed as “Light Yellow” are those ones. I’ll check out the WaveBalance!

Hi James! Redlightrising appears to be out of stock but I will keep an eye on those, thank you for the suggestion!

The BlockBlueLight glasses you linked to have already been tested however. They are listed under โ€œDark Amberโ€

Also there is a filter option for prescription, did you have something else in mind?

Yellow lenses:
1. You posted that Block Blue are the way to go for readers and prescription. In the chart, Bon Charge is number 1. Am I missing something?

Also, I just received Bon Charge readers. Is there a way to test if they are as good as the ratings say? I am looking at a bow on a christmas present that is normally royal blue. With my new yellow lenses it looks more dark green, with a hint of blue. On the computer what is royal blue still looks blue, but darker and a yellowish tinge.

Thanks for pointing that out Suzanne, Bon Charge may be the better option! I have some updating to do I think.

As for the performance of your glasses that can get a bit technical. Your monitor outputs a pure RGB signal, meaning there’s a large spike in radiation where blue is, and possibly some pure green as well. The bow on your tree however if quite a bit different, as nothing we see has a “color”. The color of something is merely the radiation it doesn’t absorb, but reflects. It is hard to say exactly which light your bow absorbs and reflects without spectral testing, but obviously it’s mostly blue. Now the kind of blue and what other spectrums it might be reflecting also have a lot to do with your homes lighting since this is where it get’s it’s “color” to begin with.

Bon Charges’ yellow lenses do let through some blue and turquoise light, but not much. It sounds like they’re working to me! But there’s no way to truly test them without a spectrometer.
