For quite some time, I felt that my eyes were no right and that I was in need of corrective lenses. With my job, I am required to take an annual physical that includes an "eye test", which is a simple reading of an eye chart. Because of what I am able to dicern, albeit somewhat fuzzy, I still rate at 20/15 vision. I have also had two professional eye exams and had left feeling oddly disappointed with the same 20/15 result. I have some days where I struggle more than others with focus issues with tired and dry eyes but I assume that's the same for most people. At home, in the office, outdoors, in stores, all have a variety of factors, mostly lighting, that probably contribute to the degree of sight issues. I finally had reached an "I can't take it anymore" point of focus struggles and decided to break down and buy a pair of readers. I stopped by my local common drugstore to try on a few pair using a medicine bottle as my reading material as it's one of the most frustrating things that I try to read. I know very well that this print is much smaller than typical and not something that I would be reading often so I factored that in accordingly. As I tried on various pairs of glasses, I came across a (more expensive) "computer" reader. I wasn't sure about what exactly this was and then factoring in computer distance versus document distance, I opted to do a little research. This of course turned into a lot of research as I am one of those that really analyzes my purchases, hence the "unfortunate" length of this review. But my hope is to benefit someone with like experiences.I will spare you all of the specifics of my research, but I will simply say that I was quite surprised at all of the things to consider when considering reading glasses. But I was also surprised to learn about the effects of "blue light" or UV rays from flat screen devices and even some office and home lighting sources. What is called "digital eyestrain" more and more seemed like a sound explanation to why my vision is 20/15 but I'm still having issues. I do spend a lot of time in front of a desktop at work, in an office with fluorescent lighting and smartphone time in the evening along with LCD television, albeit from about 8 feet or more away. After reading much about digital eyestrain and relating that to my lifestyle, I came across the Prospeck (or Spektrum) line of glasses.After much consideration about paying a little more than what I otherwise would at the drugstore for something I wasn't 100% sure was a solution, I not only decided on the Prospeck Professional readers (1.50), but also a pair of the Dynamic with no power for desktop and tv use exclusively. I was sold on this brand because I ultimately felt that all things considered, the price was quite reasonable. But also, positive reviews that focused on things like their weight, universal nosepad comfort, quality of materials including spring hinges and size along with styling.I have had these glasses for about a week and a half and have been using them every day in a variety of applications. I am very pleased with the results as I do believe they make a noticable difference in the comfort of my eyes with less strain. For the Professional that are powered at 1.50, quite simply, you don't know what you can't see until you see it. Reading on my smartphone and even playing a couple of games under power is just more comfortable. Period. I do not have much of a qualified opinion about this point but I do feel like the quality and accuracy of the lenses is very good if not excellent. One thing I remember reading about in all of my research is how readers should have their strongest focus in the center of the lens to "guide your eyes" to that sweet spot properly. Forgive me for not remembering the proper technical term or phrase for this effect. As a reference, I wear a 7 1/2 cap size and the large frame option fits great on my nose and ears. The the weight is really only noticable if I'm thinking about the fact that I have them on. Aside from the benefit of power and the comfort of the frames, I am equally impressed by the management of blue light effects. My eyes are simply more comfortable and without question, it's from the reduction of blue light. I thought the slight tint would be a distraction but it's really not to me. Whites are no longer true white and rather have a very slight yellow or dingy like tone. But unless you are in graphic art where color accuracy is a priority, it's likely to only be initially noticable and quickly forgettable. Some reviews mentioned things like "corner glare" or reflections but I've not experienced any of that. There is also the matter of some computer glasses having a wild colored lens tint but I've had no one, including eyeglass wearers comment on the lens color. One last point is the concept of "better sleep". I hesitate to say that as a result of wearing these, I'm sleeping better. I am; however, I did recently purchase a new mattress topper, with Covid-19 I'm simply doing less; therefore, less stress, so I don't know if it's mental or an actual benefit. I do seem to wake up better rested and I definitely am waking up with refreshed eyes, which is something I have not experienced in a long, long time. And I'm at the point where not wearing them in front of a screen is starting to get uncomfortable.Between the drugstore, what a family might have laying around and this purchase, my experience with reading/computer glasses is extremely limited. But I consider myself lucky to have come across this brand considering the price, quality and most importantly, results. They are a real difference maker. As far as the four star rating is concerned, that's only because a 1.25 option was not available, which seemed odd to me. I do believe this would have been a better power for me but only for the benefit of holding my phone at lap level as opposed to 4 inches closer. That being said, I will be buying two more pair so I won't have to transport between home and work.Prospect no me decepciona, y me da -en mi opinión- la mejor relación de calidad/precio (ojo, primero la calidad)I want to give six star if i can.These glasses cut the amount of blue light and you can feel the difference immediately.For the past few years, I've tried a large number of reading glasses. They have all had things about them I didn't like but I dealt with. I recently received these and love them! They are lightweight and fit my face very well. They aren't too close to my eyelashes. They don't have a weird magnification to adjust to. These are the best!I only write reviews when a product is excellent. This was a smart purchase. Lightweight, clear and stylish. I bought a second pair for backup.I have ordered two because I love with the first one so much. The delivery and its quality was perfect. Yet on my second one, I am greatly disappointed. The item was delivered with box already opened. I've ordered new item but turns out to be not. The box that contained the item was ruined.Easy to carry and cuteIch habe diese Brille mit einem Spektrometer (UPRTek MK350S) vermessen (PC-Bildschirm - 5cm Abstand - Brillenglas - direkt dahinter die Sensorfläche) und es hat sich herausgestellt, dass kein Blaulicht weggefiltert wird.Hierdurch habe ich das Produkt wieder zurückgeschickt, weil es meiner Meinung nach den Nutzen nicht erfüllt.Schade, weil die Brille wirklich schick verpackt, gut verarbeitet und optisch toll aussieht!Ich glaube bis es fast durchsichtige Gläser gibt, die Blaulicht filtern, wird es noch etwas dauern.Nur die gelben Varianten können bis 100% filtern.I must say that this is the best blue light blocking glasses I have purchased. I experimented with different brands at my own expense before arriving at this conclusion.Some have yellow tint and block out about 57% of the Blue light, Another with yellow tint, was slightly magnified and caused me Massive headache.There was the plain glasses that block about 80% according o their claims. That was the worst! My head was spinning after 4hours of continuous use. I was loosing interest then bumped into PROSPEK glasses advert by chance. I forked out another £40 to gave it a go! I’m glad I did. Received the following day in a well presented case, wore it immediately & THIRTY MINUTES after wearing it, there was a massive noticeable difference. They said that This glasses blocks only 50% of the blue light with unnoticeable tint so that colours are not affected. In addition, this glasses block UV A & B, which makes it stands out among competitors. It’s great for driving as well. I will recommend!Amazing, I took them out of the box this morning, TV is on and even though it's a cloudy day outside it's still quite bright, my tv is next to the window, imidiatly as I put them on the brightness of the tv and outside light calmed down, when I took the glasses back off I could instantly notice how much blue light had been coming through the tv and outside despite it being daytime, morning. A very muted orangy colour when you look through them that calms the blue down, lenses are clear to look at, slight irradecent appearance, look like normal glasses and a nice style. I got the smaller size as normal adult sizes are too big for me and they fit well. Overall really happy. I work a lot of nights so am regularly in faulse lighting and this was my original reason for buying them but I think I will wear them for TV, tablet, phone when I'm at home aswell as I do suffer with eye pain in the evenings watching TV so I will be using them more than I thought I would. Can't rate them highly enough only been wearing them for half hour so far and a massive diffrence in filtering out the blue light. I went on their website and saw this style in regular size is avalible with prescription so that's handy for anyone who would need it.Nice looking glasses that are comfortable to wear in the evening whilst watching tv or on laptop/phone/tablet.Not good for me whilst working on colour grading photos though as they give an orange tint, so it throws off your colour balance for your eyes whilst editing.Great quality. Can see the difference.. everything looks somehow clearer.. and definitely a lot less eye strain. Flexible frame so won't break easily. Great value for money (compared to some $150 pair on kickstarter).Almost all glasses will show eye reflection in certain lighting and most glasses lens will get dirty and smudgy looking if you rub your fingers on it.. so these are not an issue, it's be hard to find glasses that don't show smudges or your eye reflection. I don't find either of these things annoying, Just hold the glasses around the rims of the ear pieces to avoid oily smudges on the lens (also you can just use the cloth that comes with it to clean the lens) and adjust your lighting of your seating to avoid seeing eye reflection, so don't be put off by either of these "issues". Very happy with my purchase.
