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 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.

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.

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.

The science behind Monk
Blue light helps keep us awake and alert. Long screen sessions, however, can leave your eyes tired and uncomfortable.
Monk filters 79% of blue light across 380–500 nm. The warmer view can help your eyes feel calmer and make it easier to focus on your work.
How Monk works
Natural blue light helps keep us awake, energised and alert throughout the day. The goal is not to eliminate it, but to find a better balance.
Looking directly into a screen means prolonged exposure to a bright, artificial light source. That intensity and mix of wavelengths keep the eyes working without feeling at rest, leading to tired eyes and, over time, headaches.
Prolonged exposure increases stress hormones and leaves us overstimulated. That heightened state can feel like concentration, even when we struggle to feel calm and settled.
Monk filters the intense light that strains the eyes and contributes to mental overstimulation. By reducing that strain, the glasses help the eyes feel calmer and the brain settle into deeper focus.
Blue light still plays an important role in daytime alertness. That is why Monk filters 79% of blue light across 380–500 nm, allowing some through to help us stay awake without feeling overstimulated.
About the measurements
¹ 78.99% filtered, calculated from the report’s blue-light transmittance value (Tsb: 21.01%, 380–500 nm).
² 87.03% luminous transmittance (Tv), weighted for human daylight vision. This is not a simple average across the spectrum.
The reference light is CIE LED-B5, from CIE 015:2018. Its highest point is set to 100. The filtered curve is calculated by multiplying that spectrum by lens transmission at each wavelength. Both views use the same scale; the filtered curve is not rescaled. This is a modelled example, not a measurement of your screen.
Lens measurements dated 16 September 2025. The 10 nm lens measurements are linearly interpolated to match the 5 nm reference spectrum. The chart describes light filtering, not measured changes in focus, eye strain or headaches.

Questions worth asking.
Everything you need to know before you buy.
For the first minute or two, yes. Everything warms. Then your eyes adjust and you stop noticing it.
Designed to be comfortable enough that you forget you're wearing them, so technically yes. But they work best as a signal to your brain. On when you work, off when you don't.
Most people notice something in the first session. Some take a few days. If you don't notice anything in 30 days, send them back.

Been through the whole stack. L-theanine with caffeine, lion's mane, alpha-GPC, even a month of modafinil. They all do something for a couple of weeks, then you're back to square one. These don't wear off because it's not chemistry, it's just light.

ReviewingMonk Translucent GreenAugust 25, 2026Doesn't suit my work
I bought these for a mix of writing and image editing. The tint is fine for documents, but I can't judge colours properly with them on. I keep switching back and forth and end up leaving them off. Wish I'd understood that trade-off more clearly beforehand.
Skopos Eyewear
Martin, thank you for explaining how you use them. The amber tint changes colour appearance, so taking them off for colour-critical image editing is the right approach. I'm sorry that trade-off wasn't clear enough before you ordered. If switching between tasks makes them impractical for you, please contact support privately so we can check your return options.
