7 reasons people who work at a screen are swapping their afternoon coffee for a pair of glasses.

Published on September 30, 2026 by Nora Lindqvist

Read this before your next coffee.

Seven reasons

  • 9:04Sharp. You know exactly what to do.
  • 11:28Still fine. A few tasks done.
  • 13:31Brain fog. Twelve tabs open, nothing finished.
  • 15:12Third coffee, maybe a nicotine pouch. Determined to finish.
  • 17:01Fried. Not sure what you got done.

Here are the 7 reasons people now wear amber lenses to stay locked in all day.

  1. Reason 1

    Every colour on your screen is competing for your attention.

    Abstract spectrum of warm and cool colours.

    Bright white tabs, blue links, a dozen icons, all at full volume. Amber pulls them into one warm range, and your eyes stop refocusing every time they move between them.

    See it in amber
  2. Reason 2

    The screen is the brightest light in your room.

    A person in a dark room lit only by the monitor, wearing Monk Lens.

    A white screen at arm’s length, eight hours a day. Blue light focuses slightly in front of the retina, so the eye is always making tiny corrections. Take the blue away and the screen goes warm and still in the first minute.

    Turn the screen down
  3. Reason 3

    The clear blue-light glasses did nothing.

    Clear-lens glasses resting on a laptop keyboard.

    Cochrane disproved them in 17 trials: clear lenses filter 10 to 15% of blue light, and the studies found no effect. Monk Lens has an HEV coating that filters up to 79% of all high-energy light, not just the blue. Cutting the light that keeps the eye correcting and the mind on edge, while 87% of the brightness still comes through.

    Singh et al., Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2023.

    Try the amber ones
  4. Reason 4

    Coffee and capsules wear off.

    Nothing to swallow

    Something you take runs out by mid-afternoon and comes back on the invoice every month. Something you wear does neither.

    Buy once, wear every day
  5. Reason 5

    Nothing tells your brain the workday has started.

    Working at a desktop computer in a softly lit room.

    Glasses on, work mode. Glasses off, done for the day. A cue you can build a habit on, because it lives on your face.

    Start the workday with a pair
  6. Reason 6

    Every other fix asks you to change your habits.

    Working at a laptop beside warm curtains.

    App blockers, pomodoro timers, willpower. These ask you to put on a pair of glasses and leave the rest of your day alone.

    Just put them on
  7. Reason 7

    You have never seen your screen any other way.

Get into focus. Stay there.
Most focus fixes add something to your body. Caffeine, nootropics, one more supplement that works for a week. Skopos takes something away. The amber lens filters the high-energy light that keeps your screen feeling loud, so your eyes settle and your attention stays where you put it. Nothing to take. Nothing to build a tolerance to. Put them on and get to work.

Put them on when you sit down for focused work: deep work, long reading, anything that needs sustained attention. Most people notice a quieter, steadier feeling within the first session. The colour shift is real at first: the world turns warm, the way a room looks under lamplight. Your eyes adjust within minutes and you stop noticing it. We don't recommend wearing them while driving or operating machinery.

My coding pair

Love using them for vibecoding. I can sit basically all night with these on. They ofcourse make things look different so I have to take them off when checking UI colours

Aoife M. ★★★★★ ReviewingTransparent

My writing pair

I keep these beside my notebook. Putting them on has become my cue to start writing, and taking them off marks the end of the session. I still get distracted sometimes, obviously, but I like having that little routine. The clear frames suit me as well.

Magnus P. ★★★★★ ReviewingTransparent Grey

Found my use for them

I mainly use these for writing and spreadsheets, and I'm really happy with the warmer view. I take them off when a task needs accurate colours. Keeping them for text-heavy sessions works well for me, and they've become a regular part of my desk setup.

Amalie S. ★★★★★ ReviewingTransparent

Good on my face

I always to pomodoro sessions and I put these on, work for 25 and then take them off for my 5 min break and the put them on again. I have never done more than 6 in a row but now I do 9 easy

Jakub N. ★★★★★ ReviewingBlack

Glad I gave them a go

I was unsure I'd actually use these, but they've stayed beside my laptop all week. I like the warm tint for reading and the frame feels comfortable on my face. Putting them on before a work session is becoming a nice habit. Very happy so far.

Have a pair that already fits well? Look inside one of the arms. Most frames have three numbers printed there, like this:

Lens width · bridge width · arm length, in mm.

Total widthWidest point, hinges included140 mm

Within 2 mm feels the same for most people. Not the right fit? You have 30 days to send them back.

Before you choose.

Warmer. Whites turn cream and blues go quiet. You stop noticing in a minute, and text stays readable.

They are made for the desk. On when you work, off when you are done. Not for driving, and not for colour-critical work.

No prescription option yet. They are non-prescription, one size, about 25 g.
