Gamma Ray Optix Computer Reading Glasses

Arrived early. Hard case included. I SERIOUSLY love these reading glasses. I’ve only been wearing reading glasses for about a year. After being gullible and spending $400 on my first pair of “prescription” glasses, I finally realized my “prescription” was only magnification. For which inexpensive “readers” work fine. So I spent several months trying out random cheap readers from Amazon or Readers.com. After buying about 30 different pairs of mostly crappily made, poorly fitting glasses ranging from $2-$150 a pair, these are BY FAR my favorites. YAY! Finally.Just so we are talking about the same product: I ordered the "Gamma Ray Flexlite GR OR-003 Computer Readers, Shatterproof Memory Flex Anti UV, AntiBlueRay, AntiGlare,Scratch Resist Lens,+1.25 Power" They are very light weight and comfortable.I am an acupuncturist, so my vision is essential, when not working with patients, I sit in front of the computer or read a lot of paperwork and journals. For the first time I feel like I found a pair that can do it all. The wide depth of field allows me to easily read the patient’s chart (close up) and yet also see my patients clearly during the intake conversation (4-6 ft away).The non-glare coating is especially excellent and appreciated when I do video conference calls. On video calls I am often sitting in front of my computer if I have typical reading glasses on (with out an anti-glare coating), other folks on the call can't see my eyes at all due to glare off my computer screen, but with these glasses, my facial expressions come through much better, and I think that improves the nonverbal communication. Which is a big reason for having the video component of these conference calls. The lenses have a VERY slight tint to them, a warm amber tone, which I assume cuts some of the blue wavelengths of the white light spectrum. I don’t think the tint is generally noticeable tint to others. And I don’t really feel like it distorts the color of things I am looking at (maybe warms up tones a bit, but not in a distortional way). To others, doesn’t look like I am wearing sunglasses. I do feel like these glasses reduce eye fatigue, especially when working on the computer. I am so glad I tried these! They are really a god send.The only draw back is that the arms are a bit long for my head and if I have been wearing the glasses for a really long time like 12+ hours, I have noticed I feel some pressure points over my ears. But it’s very minor, and it hasn’t detracted from me still rating them as my favorite glasses so far.

Cheap, utilitarian, hard to break, and they cling to your head. I feel confident wearing these outside (at night) or driving simply because the frame is cheap and therefore more sturdy. Perhaps this is due to my head size but it's also difficult for these glasses to accidentally fall off.In terms of the blue light part, they seem to do all the good filtering stuff so I'll leave that out of the review. I will add a note about cleaning these...I have multiple pairs of these glasses. One of them I accidentally tried to clean with a microfiber rag/towel (the kind of cloth with a grainy texture as opposed to small flat cloths used for wiping lenses). The rag itself had accumulated dust inside its crevices due to me having used it to clean other surfaces. Maybe this was a newbie mistake but I used it wipe the lens and to my horror discovered that I had scratched the coating on the lens considerably.I have not really discovered the same effect when using the smooth, flat microfiber cloths (such as MagicFiber) to clean the lenses. This probably because the weaving of these optical microfiber cloths are more flat, which disallow enough lateral friction or “grip” to actually push bits of dust against the lens itself.With my second pair I tried cleaning the lenses with the standard method of using my fingertips, tap water, and hand/dish soap, and I found that a lot of the anti-reflective coating had worn off within the span of a few days.Ultimately my suggestion for actually cleaning these glasses is pretty simple: don't clean them often. If you do have to move some dust off the lens, do so gently and apply only “lateral” pressure, as opposed to compressing the lens. In other words, only clean your lenses every now and then, and only clean them with a view towards moving some dust off the lens. When I clean I always use a flat/smooth microfiber cloth, the kind advertised for cleaning lenses or optical surfaces, not the kind that looks more like a small rag that is advertised for cleaning cars or whatever. I also clean the lenses when dry, I do not wet them. This is probably against the advice of the Internet, but I don't care.Even back with my first pair, where I would clean every day, I'd use a flat microfiber cloth, dry, against the lens, but didn't find any severe smudging. The severe scratching only occurred with the rag. The orthodox water-and-soap cleaning also removed the coating entirely. So I'd suggest the middle way of occasional dry cleaning with a flat cloth, purely for removing dust.

I purchased the Gamma Ray Computer Blue Light Blocking Gaming Reading Glasses with Amber Tint and Anti Glare UV Digital Eyestrain protection, and I must say I'm quite pleased with my purchase. These glasses have made a noticeable difference in my comfort while working on my computer and reading for extended periods.One of the standout features of these glasses is the amber tint, which effectively blocks harmful blue light emitted by screens. This has significantly reduced eye strain and fatigue during long gaming sessions or when I'm working on my computer late into the night. The anti-glare coating also helps improve visibility by minimizing reflections.What I appreciate about these glasses is their versatility. I can use them not only for gaming and computer work but also for reading. The stylish design makes them suitable for both work and leisure, so I don't have to constantly switch between different glasses.In terms of build quality, the Gamma Ray glasses feel sturdy and well-made. They fit comfortably on my face, and the included UV protection is an added bonus. I also found that they are reasonably priced compared to similar products on the market.Overall, I can confidently recommend the Gamma Ray Computer Blue Light Blocking Gaming Reading Glasses to anyone in need of eye protection during screen time. They offer great value for the price and have improved my overall eye comfort while working and gaming.
