Let's talk about these retro oval glasses that have been getting a lot of attention. First off, they're undeniably stylish - the tortoise frame with metal rivets gives off that perfect nerd-chic vibe that's so popular right now. I've worn them both for Zoom meetings and casual outings, and they definitely get compliments.
However, let's address the elephant in the room: the blue light blocking claims. After using them for weeks during my computer work sessions, I can confidently say they don't actually reduce eye strain like proper blue light glasses would. The lenses are just clear plastic - great as a fashion accessory but don't expect real eye protection.
The sizing is another important factor. These run larger than expected - the frames are more substantial than typical readers. While this makes them statement pieces, they might overwhelm smaller faces. I found them sliding down my nose frequently during active use.
Quality-wise, they're decent for the price point. The frames feel sturdy enough for daily wear (though not premium), and they come with nice extras like a cleaning cloth and case. Just don't expect designer-level craftsmanship.
Bottom line: Buy these as cute fashion glasses, not for actual blue light protection or as exact designer dupes. They work great for completing outfits or Zoom calls (minus some glare), but manage your expectations regarding functionality.
