"Computer glasses" can mean two different things, and that is why people get confused. This guide explains the two types in simple words, so you buy the right one.
These have no vision power. They only have a coating that filters part of the light from screens. They suit people who see clearly without glasses but spend long hours on a phone, laptop or desktop and want something comfortable.
These have your prescription plus the screen filter. They suit people who already wear glasses, and who would otherwise need two pairs.
| Your situation | What to choose |
|---|---|
| You see fine, but screens tire your eyes | Zero-power computer glasses, after an eye test to be sure |
| You wear glasses for distance | Your prescription with a blue cut lens |
| You need help with close work only | Computer or reading glasses with a plus power. See reading glasses power |
| You wear bifocals or progressives | A progressive lens with blue cut. See progressive vs bifocal |
Wearing zero-power computer glasses over your normal glasses adds weight and reflections. It is easier to have the blue cut filter fitted into your own lenses. See computer glasses vs blue-cut lenses.

They can. A zero-power pair has only the screen filter. A prescription pair has your power with the same filter. Which one you need depends on your eyes.
Not usually. It is better to have the blue cut filter added to your own prescription lenses, so you wear one pair.
Not always. Reading glasses have a plus power for close work. Computer glasses are for screens, which are often a little farther away than a book. If your eyes need both, an eye test will help you choose.
They can make screens more comfortable for some people, but they are not a cure. Breaks, good light and the right prescription matter just as much.
The frame is priced on its product page. A blue cut lens is ₹350 per pair for -6.00 / -2.00 to +2.00 / +2.00 (SPH / CYL). Stronger prescriptions are quoted per job.
