The best blue light glasses

Known primarily for its stylish Wayfarers, Ray-Ban actually offers a range of interesting frames - and a lot of them are available with blue light blocking tech. Take the newest iteration of the Wayfarer, for example. It's able to block blue light from the 400nm and 455nm frequency band, and it's pretty good-looking, too.

Ace and Tate has become hugely popular thanks to its blend of quality craftsmanship and trend-setting style - and now it's added blue-light blocking tech to the mix. Pretty much every Ace and Tate frame can be bought as screen glasses. If you've already got a prescription, you can add a blue-light blocking capability for £25 extra.

On this occasion, we’ve chosen the Extra Pierce Large as it’s suitable for most faces and shows off the brand’s acetate-focused style.

If you're after something cheap, you can do worse than these simple and effective screen glasses from Cooloo. Unlike some of the other products on this list, the Cooloo frames aren't available with a prescription, but they do a good job of blocking out blue light - and ideally making your eyes more comfortable.

A total of nine style are available, and at ten pounds they’re hard not to recommend.

Blue-light blocking glasses come in all shapes and sizes, and these Tivsan frames might be some of the smartest we've seen. Rather than a funky acetate design, this pair uses a clean wire frame to great effect.

They’re available in three colours and 16 layers of coating in total to remove 90% of harmful blue light for your eyes. At less than £20, they’re certainly affordable and they also have a lifetime warranty – so if they do break you’ll be able to easily get them fixed.

Oliver Peoples is a brand synonymous with high fashion, and in 2023 it makes screen glasses, too. There are several styles on offer - from the iconic Gregory Pecks to the more contemporary O Malleys - but all of them offer classy looks with high-end workmanship.

Of course, they’re not cheap; at £300 to £500 they’re some of the most expensive glasses on this list. But if your budget allows, they’re a worthy investment.

Amazon user reviews tell a story, and it's a very positive one when it comes to these TIJN blue-light blocking glasses. With 60,000 reviews so far and a solid four of five ratings, it's hard to argue with the experience of other Amazon users - and they have other plus points as well.

At least 14 styles are available at £20 or less, and there’s also the option of a double-pack for even more value. One more thing; with a lens width of 53mm and an arm length of 140mm, they should be big enough to fit most faces.

2023 is all about retro style, and these Ambr Pallas frames will take you straight back to the 70s. A bold, aviator-style frame, the Pallas glasses combines vintage style with cutting-edge, blue-light-blocking tech.

In addition to an anti-reflective coating, the Ambrs also add blue-light coating and are available as reading glasses and prescription glasses. You’ll pay £49 for non-magnifying glass and £124 for prescription lenses.

There’s a range of styles available, but we’ve chosen the iconic #D, as it’s a nice spin on a classic style. What’s more, it’s available in ten colours – so you’re bound to find something you like.

Easy by name and easy by nature, Izipizi offers a punchy blend of style and value. Despite starting at a rather affordable £40, Izipizi's range is super-contemporary and perfect for those who want their glasses to stand out rather than blend in.

A bit like Ace and Tate, Cubitts is well-known for its classy acetate frames - but they occupy a slightly higher-end slice of the market. With that in mind, frames cost around £175 for blue-light prescription or non-prescription lenses.

Our top pick goes to the Herbrand, one of the most popular models in the Cubitts' range. It’s incredibly customizable; there are 15 colours on offer – some matte and gloss – and there are also a range of sizes and lens colours on offer.
