Best for: No-risk trial of the concept, casual daytime use
The under-$10 floor — the cheapest way to try blue-light glasses, if you accept clear lenses and basic build for the price.
Cyxus is the rock-bottom entry: clear-lens blue-light glasses for often under $10, with a simple lightweight frame and a modest anti-glare coating. It does exactly what a $10 product should — reduce a little screen glare for casual users deciding whether they like the concept. Build and lens filtering are basic, and like all clear lenses the sleep benefit is negligible, but as a no-risk trial it's unbeatable on price.

The value 2-pack — near-clear lenses that reduce glare and eye strain for cheap, with the honest caveat that clear lenses barely touch sleep.
→ Budget daytime eye comfort, trying the concept
The eye-strain original — amber-tinted gaming glasses that ease long-screen fatigue, though the sleep benefit is the marketing, not the science.
→ Long-session gamers and coders wanting less eye strain
The cheapest true red tint — the lens class with the melatonin evidence, sold without a published transmission chart.
→ Evening screen users who want the evidence-backed tint at the lowest price

Both budget clear-lens picks; Cyxus is cheaper for a single pair, while livho gives you two pairs for less than twice the price. Absolute cheapest single trial: Cyxus. Best value if you want two: livho. Neither meaningfully helps sleep — that's TIJN's red-tint territory.
As a trial, yes — it tells you whether you like wearing blue-light glasses at all before spending more. Just don't expect premium build or real sleep benefit. Clear lenses are daytime comfort at best.
Some users report less screen-glare fatigue, which is the honest ceiling for a clear lens. If eye strain is the goal, GUNNAR's amber tint and better frame do it more convincingly.
Effectively none — clear lenses don't block the blue+green wavelengths that suppress melatonin. For sleep, the red-tint TIJN is the only pick here that's earned the claim.
