Clique vs Barner: Blue Light Glasses Compared (2026)

Comparison · 3 min read

Comparing Barner blue light glasses against other brands? Barner leans fashion-first, with a huge range of frame colours and prescription strengths. Here's how it stacks up against Clique's lens system.


Quick answer

Barner frames run roughly €47–€59 (about £40–£50) for a single fixed-tint lens, with a wide choice of colours and prescription strengths. Clique Classic is £29.99 for one frame plus three magnetic clip-on lenses — fewer colour choices, but four filtering levels instead of one.

Where Barner has the edge

Barner is the better pick if style and frame variety come first — dozens of colours across multiple frame shapes, plus prescription strengths from +1 to +3 and reader options. If you want blue light glasses that read as fashion eyewear first, Barner has far more choice than Clique's two colourways.

Where Clique has the edge

Barner's frames are one fixed tint each — buy a second frame for a different filtering level. Clique's £29.99 frame ships with a clear daytime lens plus three magnetic clip-ons (yellow, orange, red), so one frame moves with you through the day instead of needing a second or third Barner frame for evenings and wind-down.

Who each is actually right for

Pick Barner if frame style and colour choice matter most to you, or you need a specific prescription strength.

Pick Clique if you want one frame that adapts through the day rather than owning multiple single-tint pairs.

FAQ

Is Barner good for blue light blocking, or mainly style?

Both — Barner's lenses are anti-blue-light rated, but each frame is one fixed tint, so the brand's strength is fashion variety rather than a day-to-night system.

Is there a Barner alternative with more than one lens?

That's what Clique is built for — the Clique Classic 4-in-1 gives clear, yellow, orange and red lenses in one £29.99 frame.
