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!

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.

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

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

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

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.
