I put them on and made my life ten times more comfortable that day
These arrived arrived two days after I placed the order and just after I came home from school. I opened the package up, a small bubble wrap envelope with in it, a wonderous looking black leather case and inside the glasses I just so badly needed. I put them on and made my life ten times more comfortable that day. The glasses serve its purpose, and serve it well. They can be seen blocking and reflecting potentially harmful blue lights should you take a quick pic in front of any monitor (even a smartphone, yes my iPhone kills my eyes just as much as my three monitors). As a high school student with frequent time spent on the computer and on my phone for constant communication and online assignments, I'll say that this helped me with eye fatigue and gained some decent quality sleep. Long periods of gaming are definitely made more comfortable with less squinting to adjust from various colour changes and even prevents me from tearing whenever I blink now. This magical thing is made well; they're light, they're durable, and they have very reliable hinges and open smoothly. They fit well, resting on the nose without any feeling of slipping off (I've got a curved nose). This review agrees with many others, and to be frank, J+S can give Gunnar Optiks a run for their money. As a Gunnar owner as well, I've found that I've spent more time wearing these than I have with my Gunnar Sheadogs which are significantly thinner and feel more prone to breakage. These clean relatively easier than the Gunnars as well. These have been put to use for the past week with around 40 hours worth of computer time. Should you be in need for computer glasses for games or work and don't want to spend too much money for quality, consider this.

Great Computer Glasses... High Quality for the Price
I really like the look of the glasses, they look clear. I like the fact that the yellow tint is not visible to someone viewing a person wearing these glasses. I read quite a bit on my Mac, my Android devices, and tablet (ebooks, work documents, subscribed magazines, etc.) . When I wear the glasses, I feel no eye strain at all as it blocks 90% of blue light. These glasses look good so I am not embarrassed to wear them at work or at a client's office. It also passed the wife test (Whew!). The glasses are comfortable to wear as well; I often forget I am wearing them and wear them hours afterwards. The quality of the glasses are really good despite the low price. Are they as nice as my wife's prescribed glasses and frames that cost hundreds of dollars? No, of course not, but these glasses are great quality for the price and it comes with a quality, sturdy case and microfiber cloth. I advise anyone that has oily skin to purchase glass cleaning wipes in case one accidentally touches the lenses. It takes quite a bit of effort to get fingerprints off of the lenses with the cloth. I think this is due to the coating of the lenses. An overall great purchase and I will be picking up another pair in the future for my siblings.

These glasses feel like a solid middle ground between the high-end gaming glasses ...
I went looking for computer glasses after learning how damaging it can be to use the cintiq for more that four hours a day. As an art student who is obligated to spend days at a time staring into those LED-backlit nightmares, I needed something affordable with minimal color distortion. These glasses feel like a solid middle ground between the high-end gaming glasses and the nine-dollar bargain bin variety.They have a minimal amber tint, and while I have not had them long, they do seem to ease some of the eye strain caused by looking at a screen all day. I would suggest pairing these glasses with the free f.lux application, which also shifts the color of you screen subtly. The frames and lenses are both lightweight plastic, which makes them affordable and easy to carry around with me. The glasses also come with a carrying case and cleaning cloth. They stay on well, and are fairly comfortable to wear. And while this isn't the reason I bought them, they look decent, as well.

Really great product
The main question is do these actually work to reduce eye strain and headaches? Yes.I did a little bit of research on different brands and decided to go with these because they were straightforward with what the product offered without over-hyping it with needless marketing terms. They are very light-weight but they don't feel like cheap at all. It's an odd kind of plastic that is sturdy and solid and doesn't immediately feel like plastic. They are smooth, flat and what I feel could be considered low-profile. I've worn them for as little as an hour and for as long as eight hours and they are perfectly comfortable. I haven't once noticed any discomfort from wearing them, including while wearing them with circumaural headphones. The headphones fit over them comfortably and I can barely notice I have the glasses on. So if you're worried about discomfort while gaming with headphones, don't be.In the two weeks that I've been using them I have seen a significant reduction in the minor headaches associated with staring at a computer all day. I've also noticed much less eye strain but these don't cure that completely. I also alternated using them one day and not the next and the difference is very noticeable to me. They do help with eye strain while gaming but it's minimal, but enough that I do wear them when I play. The biggest benefit has been using them in normal computer tasks: emails, excel, reading lots of text, etc.My only problem with the glasses is the nose bridge. It's a wide bridge so if you have a narrow or even a medium nose the top of the frame sits very near your line of vision. This wouldn't be a problem if they were reading glasses or if you're tilting your head down to look at a phone, but when you are staring straight at a computer screen they create an annoyance. I constantly find myself tilting my head slightly back so my eyes stare through the center of the lenses which is uncomfortable. I think a great addition to the product might be the inclusion of some slim nose pads that could be applied if needed - I would even pay a little more for that. So now I'm left finding some nose pads to make these glasses fit perfectly. Not the fault of the manufacturer because they are a universal size, but a gripe nonetheless.At the end of the day I consider these glasses money very well spent and I'm kicking myself for not having invested in these a long time ago. They come with a hard protective case and a lens cleaning cloth which is a very nice addition but I think the inclusion of some nose pads would make this a perfect product. They are five stars, 4.5 if Amazon let you rate by half a star.
