Eye-Strain-Relief Glasses


Style A	Style B

Ease painful eye strain while looking at computer, smartphone, and tablet screens for long periods of time. These glasses filter out blue light from electronic devices and eliminate glare for clearer vision. They also block out harmful UV rays. Made of lightweight polycarbonate, these glasses are comfortable for long-term wear. They have spring-hinged arms that gently hug your face, so they won’t slip down your nose. The lenses on these glasses won’t scratch.

Magnification—Glasses with magnification enhance the details of your screen. Magnifying power is measured in diopters—each diopter increases the size of the object in view by 25%.

Padded Nosepiece—You can adjust glasses with a padded nosepiece for a comfortable custom fit around your nose.

Wraparound Safety Glasses

Style E

The curved design sits close to your face for better protection from debris. Many of these glasses also have additional features to improve wearability for long periods.

Blue-Light Filtering—Blue-light filtering lenses absorb the blue light emitted by computer, tablet, and smartphone screens, as well as more than 99% of UV light. Use them to help reduce the eye fatigue that’s caused by looking at electronic screens for long periods of time. The orange lenses filter about two times more blue light than the clear lenses.

Illuminated Eyeglass-Mount Frame Loupe Magnifiers

A built-in LED on these wearable magnifiers shines a bright, even light so you don’t miss any scratches, dents, or nicks. They rest comfortably on your face so you can inspect objects up close without hunching over a handheld or bench-mount magnifier. First designed for jewelers, these magnifiers also work well for quality control and inspection. Swap out six included lens sets to switch between magnification levels ranging from 6X to 25X. The lenses are made of plastic, which are more lightweight and shatter resistant than glass lenses. The loupes flip up, so you don’t need to take them off completely between uses.

Headband-Mount Flip-Up Magnifiers

Designed to fit over prescription and safety glasses, these magnifiers help you read fine print and inspect parts.

A 2.5X magnifier serves as a bifocal. Also known as a loupe, it attaches to either side of your headband-mount magnifier.

Acrylic Plastic Lens—Magnifiers with an acrylic lens are lighter in weight than those with glass, and the lens won’t shatter if they’re dropped.

Glass Lens—A glass lens is clearer than acrylic and harder to scratch.

2 Lenses—Magnifiers with two lenses let you switch between two levels of magnification. The second lens flips down over the first to bring an object into sharper focus.
