Prescription available: Yes | Sizes: Small (48-20-139mm) and regular (58-20-139mm)
Best Size Range: Eyebuydirect
Pros:
- Many styles for different face shapes and sizes
- Multiple filtering options
Cons:
- The site may be slow and crashing
This petite-faced writer can personally attest to Eyebuydirect’s thorough search capabilities, especially when it comes to finding frames with specific dimensions. You can filter by general size or use the toggle options to select measurement ranges for overall frame width, lens height, lens width, bridge width, and arm length. Once you’ve found the right size for you (the inventory is vast, but it’s possible), you can select one of three types of blue-light-filtering lenses at checkout.
EBDBlue Plus lenses filter blue light between 400 and 455 nm. EBDBlue 360 lenses offer the same filtering range, as well as an anti-reflective coating. EBDBlue Smart lenses filter blue light and are photochromic, meaning their tint adjusts in response to the lighting in your surroundings.
Prescription available: Yes | Sizes: Small (48-19-140mm), medium (50-19-145mm) and large (51-19-145mm)
Best for Gaming and Computer Screens: Gunnar Ellipse
Pros:
- Designed for long periods of time in front of screens
- Multiple shade options
Cons:
- Certain styles can bend easily or feel a bit flimsy, according to Amazon reviewers.
Whether you’re starting a campaign, gaming for a bit, or going into focus mode to tackle a bunch of spreadsheets, Gunnar’s best-selling computer glasses have you covered. The brand makes a few different lens tints — the best and most popular option is Amber, which blocks about 65 percent of blue light, but you can also try Clear, which blocks less blue light but won’t mess with your color perception (which can be essential if you’re paying close attention to graphics on your screen).
In addition to the lenses, Gunnar’s glasses have more features to help you stay comfortable at your desk. For example, the Ellipse style has adjustable nose pads and a lightweight design that won’t create pressure points if you wear headphones with them.
Prescription available: Yes | Sizes: One size fits all (51-18-136mm)

Diff Bella Glasses
A SELF staffer turns to Diff glasses when her eyes start to feel blurry and strained: “I find that blue-light-blocking glasses help give my eyes a break; they seem to reduce the glare from the screen,” she says. She also notes that Diff’s frame options are especially cute, which certainly doesn’t hurt.
