Let’s talk about these trendy blue-light-blocking aviators that promise to save your eyes from screens while making you look effortlessly cool. Spoiler: They mostly deliver, but with a few quirks.
The Good: First off, the 3-pack is GENIUS. I keep one pair glued to my laptop, another in my bag, and the third? Accidentally left at a café (RIP). The oversized lenses give that retro-chic vibe, and yes, strangers at coffee shops WILL compliment you. The blue light filtering actually works—my late-night doomscrolling sessions no longer leave my eyes feeling like sandpaper.
The Okay: The hinges are… moody. Two of my pairs have one side that flaps like a loose shutter in the wind. Tightening the screws did nada. Also, if you have a petite face like me, these might swallow your features whole (my coworker said I looked like a stylish owl).
The Quirk: Vision distortion is real for some folks. If you’re sensitive to lens curvature (like me after one margarita), these might make you feel like you’re on a tilt-a-whirl. Pro tip: Stare dead-center like a sniper, and you’ll survive.
Final Verdict: For the price, they’re a steal—especially if you dig the ‘70s pilot aesthetic. Just don’t expect luxury durability. Bonus: The included leather case doubles as a conversation starter (“Oh this? Just my *third* pair of aviators today”).
