Our take on the Foster Grant Braydon Blue Light Reading Glasses

The Foster Grant Braydon is a men's rectangular reading glass with a gunmetal gray plastic frame and blue light filtering lenses. It is a budget-priced pair meant for screen time as much as for books, sold widely at drugstores and mass retailers. Foster Grant is one of the best-known names in over-the-counter readers, so replacement and magnification options are easy to find. Shoppers rate it 4 out of 5 from 183 ratings, which is solid for the category.

Questions and answers

Is the Foster Grant Braydon worth it?
Yes if you want an inexpensive reader with blue light filtering for screens. It is not a substitute for prescription glasses, so see an eye doctor if you need correction beyond simple magnification.
What magnification strengths are available?
Foster Grant sells the Braydon in a range of standard reader strengths, typically from about +1.00 to +3.00 diopters. Check the specific listing for the strength you need, since availability varies by retailer.
Does blue light filtering actually help?
The lenses filter some blue light, which some people find easier on the eyes during long screen sessions. Evidence on eye strain is mixed, and the effect here is modest compared with dedicated computer glasses.
How do I pick the right strength?
Start with the strength that matches your usual readers, or add about +1.00 to +1.25 to your distance prescription if you have one. When in doubt, try a lower strength first.
What is in the box?
Typically just the glasses, sometimes with a soft pouch or cleaning cloth depending on the retailer. A hard case is usually not included.
When is it cheapest?
Over-the-counter readers like this one are often discounted during back-to-school and holiday sales and in multi-pair promotions. Compare current prices across stores before buying.
