How much blue light do the amber lenses block?

GUNNAR rates the amber lens at about 65% of blue light in the 380–500 nm range. That is stronger filtering than its clear lenses.

Can I wear these for photo or video editing?

The amber tint shifts colors, so they are a poor choice when color accuracy matters. Use them for reading, coding, and gaming instead.

No. The Solo is a fixed-frame design with a solid bridge, so it does not fold at the hinges. Plan for a larger case.

Are they prescription glasses?

No. The Solo is a non-prescription pair. GUNNAR sells prescription versions separately, so check with an optician if you need correction.

Who are they best for?

Adults who log long hours at a monitor or in games and want strong blue-light filtering in a plain rectangular frame.

Our take on the GUNNAR Blue Light Computer and Gaming Glasses - Solo Smoke Frame with Amber Lens

The GUNNAR Solo is a fixed-frame pair of computer and gaming glasses with a rectangular polymer frame and amber-tinted lenses. GUNNAR's amber lens filters about 65% of blue light in the 380–500 nm range, which is more than its clear lenses block. The fixed nose bridge and non-folding design keep the frame rigid and light, but they make it harder to carry and to share. It suits people who spend long hours in front of a monitor and want strong blue-light filtering in a simple frame.
