VivaRays Sol Clip'N'Go 3-in-1 Blue Light Blockers

The Sol Clip'N'Go 3-in-1 puts three light filters on one frame: yellow daytime lenses built in, plus orange evening and red nighttime clip-ons that snap on magnetically. It is $237.60 against a $297 list, verified September 3, 2026, and every 3-in-1 frame in the VivaRays store carries the same 20 percent cut. Prescription builds add $59 to $238 on top.

VivaRays sells the Sol as a day-to-night system rather than one pair of blockers. The base frame is Italian Mazzucchelli bio-acetate, which the brand describes as non-toxic and 100 percent biodegradable, fitted with yellow daytime lenses that carry anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coatings; the brand's lens-technology page lists the lens material as CR39. Two magnetic clip-on fronts ride in the FSC-certified cork case: orange for evening, red for night. The brand's own filtering figures, from its lens-technology page and FAQ: the yellow lens blocks 50 to 60 percent at 455 nm with a 1.2x brightness reduction while passing 470 to 495 nm; the orange clip-on blocks 100 percent of blue and green up to 520 nm with a 4x brightness reduction at about 1600K; the red clip-on blocks 100 percent up to 550 or 570 nm with a 10x brightness reduction at about 1000K. The frame is 143 mm wide with 52.5 mm lenses, an 18.5 mm bridge and 145 mm adjustable arms, and weighs 35.4 g bare or 51 g with a clip-on attached. Black and Tortoise are the two colors, and all four variants were in stock at $237.60 on September 3, 2026.

Where it gives ground. The brand's own numbers do not agree with each other: the lens-technology page says 60 percent at 455 nm for the daytime lens and a 550 nm cutoff for the red lens, while the FAQ says 50 percent and 570 nm. VivaRays says it spectrometer-tests its lenses and will send graph readings on request, but no third-party test certificate is published, so treat the figures as brand statements. The lens-technology page uses the phrase "clinically proven" without citing a study, and the FAQ says "all our glasses are FDA approved" without a registration detail; we do not repeat either. VivaRays' FAQ states its CR39 and nylon lenses do not meet the ANSI Z87+ standard, so these are not sports or safety glasses. Country of assembly is not published: the acetate is Italian, the shipping policy says prescription glasses ship from a lab in British Columbia while the lens-technology page mentions a professional UK lab, and non-prescription orders ship from a Texas warehouse. Shipping is calculated at checkout with no free threshold listed, refunds and any exchange after the first carry a $10 USD restocking fee, and prescription orders take 10 to 20 business days before they ship.

This is the pick for someone who wants one frame for the whole day instead of a drawer of separate glasses. Against VivaRays' own range, the Sol 2-in-1 is $183.20 against a $299 list and puts evening lenses in the frame with a red night clip-on and no daytime lens, though three of its four variants were sold out on September 3, 2026; the Sol 4-in-1 is $276.80 against a $446 list and swaps in a clear prescription base with all three clip-ons; single-purpose Sol glasses are $133.60 each, so buying daytime, evening and night separately would cost $400.80 for three frames you have to carry. Against the rest of our sleep shelf, Swanwick's Night Swannies Classic Black is a single red-tinted night pair at $129.99, and the Re-Timer 3 at $220 takes the opposite approach by emitting light in the morning rather than filtering it at night. VivaRays accepts HSA and FSA payments, and the frame carries a one-year defect warranty with a 90-day return window.
