zeroUV - Blue Blocking Driving Horn Rimmed Sunglasses Amber Tinted Lens 54mm
K**5
High quality at a reasonable price
The frames are made of a very tough resin or plastic compared to some higher-priced pairs I've purchased prior and have fallen apart. So far, so good. These are very comfortable. I prefer these non-polarized sunglasses because polarized lenses will often black out LCD screens on gas pumps, cameras, smartphones, thermometers and clocks. The amber tint decreases blue-light glare and increases contrast for better visibility while driving. I can keep these on while I use my cameras on a photoshoot outdoors. These are high-quality sunglasses at a reasonable price point.

Its good!
Just to be clear, these are NOT actual blue blocking sunglasses, at least not all wavelengths of blue light. That said, these sunglasses are a wonderful (cheap) substitute. They block some blue light, as well as some green (at least that's been my observation), and they have a fairly strong amber tint. For some that may take some getting used to, but for others (like me) it is a huge relief and very pleasant and sufficient substitute to blue blockers. There is a slight gradient of shading, but not very strong. I've had them for just about a week, so i can't speak for the durability of the hinges.

Very yellow
I love this brand. These sunglasses look great and seem durable. Compared to other blue blocking glasses I own, these are extremely yellow, almost to the point of being distracting. I keep them sort of as a spare pair and don’t wear them for driving as I thought I would.

Fantastic quality and exactly the tint I was looking for!
These are fantastic! Just what I was looking for. I had my first experience with orange tinted sunglass lenses that block out significant blue light when I received a pair of Tens from a friend. They specialized in these kinds of sunglasses and began through Kickstarter for only $20. They became so successful, they are now $70+. So when my pair of Tens got worn out, I wasn’t too willing to dish out 3x the price of what I got them for. But for those of you that haven’t had lenses like these before, it’s so cool! It blocks out so much blue light, it’s like you’re in a foggy dreamlike state. Compared to my Tens however, these lenses are a little bit darker orange which may block out a little too much blue light. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a traffic light is green, especially if it’s an older light. But I just tilt my head or raise my glasses to be sure when driving so most of the time, it isn’t an issue. These frames are surprisingly good quality for the humble price. I was super happy I found a good, cheaper alternative and will be reordering should I need to replace my pair.

You get what you pay for.
(Increased to 3 stars from 2 because they haven't broken) Exactly what the title says. Most always, the quality is determined by how much you're willing to spend. Gauging by the reviews I figured it would be a good deal to purchase a 4 star product. Considering the price (2 pair for less than $10 at time of purchase), I thought what the heck and ordered them. They were praised by individuals who wore them driving and in the evening to reduce the level of blue light prior to sleeping.Details:The glasses do block the blue hues, but not to the same degree. The solid black frame glasses have a much darker gradual tinted lens than the solid tint 'tortoise shell' pair. Going by the picture provided, it really looks as if the shading is the exact same. This is not the case. The black pair has a considerably darker ombré shade that gradually fades from a dark red/brown amber to a lighter yellow-orange. Looking through the top makes everything look neutral brown and white lights look as if they were a washed out tea stained red. The bottom is much less tinted, which makes them suitable for being outside when you want to look down at things. Otherwise while looking straight ahead there is suitable sun shading.The tortoise pair have a very light tint. It's hardly noticeable when you have them on. At first they just look like you're wearing a very mildly tinted pair of shades, but if you take them off and hold them out, you'll notice that whites are shaded and look more yellow/brown.Cons:The thing that bothered me most, besides the damage, is the photo presentation. They're just not an accurate depiction of the product. Nowhere on the physical product does it actually say "zeroUV."The hinges do not look like the picture. The arms attach to the front of the glasses via two plastic tabs. These tabs are secure the arm with a screw through the tapered metal piece which has an internal spring lodged inside of the arm. I'm kind of scared to see how far the spring will give outward because the plastic tends to creak and wear the inner tabs down after you've closed the glasses a few times. The 'tortoise shell' do feel quite rough from the tabs rubbing the arm when you open them. And personally they look more like a giraffe pattern.Damage:Brown/Tortoise:I was initially excited because these are the first pair of amber lenses I had purchased myself. It was fairly discouraging when I noticed a chip on the inside of the right lens. After looking for more imperfections I discovered that there was fair amount of bubbling on one of the arms. I then inspected the lens further to discover how filthy the lenses were. It looked like they were sitting on a shelf for months because they were full of dust, and it looks like someone tried to clean it off with a greasy rag. It's a bit discouraging how this sort of thing gets past quality control when the company advertises "Satisfaction Guaranteed."Black:The hinges on the black pair seem more functional, but the paint near the front has several scratches over the left lens revealing white plastic beneath. It couldn't have been shipping damage because the box was not punctured and cardboard on plastic just doesn't do that. Again, the quality control is disappointing. Although the lens isn't chipped on this pair, the edges are cut rather jagged indicating a cheaper quality cutting machine. One of the rear points on the arms by your ears are a bit sharp while the other side is rounded. It almost looks like it was missed getting rounded down. Other than that the case is just a cheaper polyester pouch.All in all, sometimes this is sort of thing you have to deal with when you pay under ten dollars for two pairs of glasses on sale.Consider the price when making a purchase. If I were to look at these glasses for the first time today with the current price, I'd be looking elsewhere. They're wearable, but I'm certainly not thrilled with the defects.

GET THESE!! You won't be sorry!
I am in my late 50's and I live in sunny Florida. I've been suffering with dry and irritated eyes for a while now and the regular UV polarized sunglasses weren't cutting it. The glare and the brightness were really irritating and my eyes burned when I was outside. The amber blu blocking glasses are amazing. The minute I put them on my eyes relax and feel like they did when I was younger. No irritation at all, and I feel the difference all day, even when I'm back inside. I wear the yellow lenses occasionally while on the computer, or indoors if the sun is so strong coming through the windows as to be irritating. My dry eyes are gone. I highly recommend either pair, or both. In addition, the customer service for these glasses is responsive and helpful. I recommend them as a company as well.

Eye protection
These glasses are great, it was an adjustment getting used to the bit of color change but I am enjoying the green seeming so bright and beautiful! Blue blockers are great for your eyes! and the value of these are great
