Computer Glasses

Computer glasses, also called screen glasses or glasses for computer use, are non-prescription glasses with a blue light filtering lens, made for people who spend most of the day looking at a monitor, laptop or phone.

What to look for in computer glasses

A clear lens that stays clear. For work you need accurate colour. A heavy yellow tint is a poor choice for spreadsheets, design work or video calls. Clique's base lens is clear and filters a portion of blue light without a visible colour cast.

Comfort over eight hours. Weight, nose pads and hinge tension matter more than any lens coating if you are wearing them all day. Clique uses a lightweight frame, soft nose pads and spring hinges.

Something for after work. Screen time does not stop at 5pm. This is where Clique is different: the same frame takes magnetic yellow, orange and red clip-ons for the evening, so your computer glasses become your evening glasses too.

One frame through the whole day

Working hours: clear lens. Early evening: yellow clip-on. Later screens and TV: orange clip-on, see amber glasses. Last hour: red clip-on, see red light glasses.

In the box

One Clique Classic frame in Clear Glass or Jet Black, clear lens fitted, three magnetic clip-on lenses, a carry case and a cleaning cloth.

Do you need a prescription?

Clique Classic is non-prescription, so it suits people who do not wear glasses or who wear contact lenses. If you find yourself squinting at the screen or getting regular headaches, book an eye test first. You may need a prescription, and no blue light lens will fix that.

Straight talk: the evidence that blue light glasses reduce digital eye strain is mixed. Eye strain from screens is mostly about focusing up close for long periods and blinking less. The 20-20-20 habit helps: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Many people still find a filtered, slightly warmer screen more comfortable, which is what these glasses offer. Clique is lifestyle eyewear, not a medical device.

FAQs

Are computer glasses the same as blue light glasses?

For non-prescription pairs, yes. Opticians also use the term for prescription lenses set for screen distance, which is a different product.

Do they look tinted on video calls?

The clear lens has no obvious tint. The Jet Black frame is the more formal option on camera.

Can I wear them over prescription glasses?

No. They are a standalone frame. They work with contact lenses.

What about delivery and returns?

Free UK delivery, usually 2 to 4 working days, and 30-day returns.
