What Are Blue Light Blocking Glasses?
Blue light blocking glasses are designed with lenses that filter or reduce exposure to certain wavelengths of blue light produced by digital screens and other sources. GUNNAR Optiks has built its reputation around eyewear designed for digital screen use, making its glasses an interesting option for people who spend significant portions of their day in front of computers and other devices.
GUNNAR’s lenses also feature UV protection and an anti reflective coating. Depending on the style, shoppers can choose between Amber and Clear lens options.
The important part is finding a pair you actually enjoy wearing. Because the most technologically impressive glasses in the world are not doing much for you if they are sitting on your desk.
Meet the Riot Crystal Cobalt
The Riot Crystal Cobalt has a bold, modern look that is perfect for anyone who likes their eyewear to make a little bit of a statement. Plus cobalt us a huge trend for fall.
The wide fit rectangular frame features a cool toned Crystal Cobalt finish and is constructed from precision engineered nylon. Multi barrel hinges add durability, while the fixed nose ridge gives the frame a secure feel.
The wider silhouette can be especially appealing for people with broader face shapes.
At $49.99 MSRP, the Riot offers an affordable way to bring both blue light blocking technology and seasonal color into your everyday screen time routine.
The Berkeley Cranberry Crystal Fade
For a softer and more fashion forward look, the Berkeley Cranberry Crystal Fade brings a beautiful fall inspired color combination to the collection.

At $64.99 MSRP, the Berkeley is a particularly fun choice for anyone who wants their blue light blocking glasses to feel more like a fashion accessory than office equipment.
And yes, cranberry is absolutely having a moment.
Why Blue Light Blocking Glasses Make Sense for Screen Heavy Days
Our digital habits have changed dramatically. Many people spend their workday at a computer before switching to their phone or tablet in the evening. Add gaming, television, and online shopping to the mix and there can be very little escape from screens.
That makes comfortable eyewear an easy way to make your screen time routine feel a little more intentional.
GUNNAR’s lens technology is designed to reduce digital eye strain while blocking blue and UV light. The anti reflective coating is also designed to reduce glare, which can be particularly useful when working under artificial lighting or staring at a bright monitor.
Amber or Clear Lenses?
GUNNAR offers both Amber and Clear lens options, giving shoppers some flexibility in how their glasses look and feel.
Amber lenses have a warmer appearance and are a recognizable part of GUNNAR’s eyewear lineup. Clear lenses offer a more traditional eyewear appearance while still incorporating the brand’s lens technology.
The choice largely comes down to personal preference and how you want your glasses to look as part of your everyday style.
Blue Light Blocking Glasses Can Be Stylish
Let’s retire the idea that computer glasses have to look like something you found in a forgotten office drawer.
The new GUNNAR fall colorways prove that blue light blocking glasses can have personality. The Crystal Cobalt Riot has a bold, contemporary aesthetic, while the Cranberry Crystal Fade Berkeley feels feminine and fashion forward.
Both can easily become part of an everyday wardrobe.
