KLIM Optics Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Best for: GUNNAR-style comfort on a budget, kit included
The value-kit pick — GUNNAR-style eye comfort with a pouch and cloth included, at a friendlier price.
KLIM Optics positions as the value alternative to GUNNAR: a yellow resin lens that the brand rates at 92% blue-light blocking at 400 nm, a lightweight frame, and a kit (carry pouch, cleaning cloth) that budget rivals skip. Gamers and remote workers get most of GUNNAR's comfort for less money. The same honest limit applies — the brand markets it for screen eye comfort and makes no sleep claim; buy it for the workday, not the wind-down.

How our prices work
We show the price at our recommended retailer and, when Amazon reports one, its list price for comparison. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data service and are refreshed twice a day; each one shows the date and time Amazon gave it, and one older than 24 hours is replaced by “Check price”. Other retailers' prices are checked by hand and show the date of that check. Retail prices move constantly, so the price on the retailer's own page at checkout is the one that applies.

Frequently asked questions
KLIM Optics vs GUNNAR?
KLIM is the value play — similar yellow eye-comfort lens and a bundled pouch/cloth for less than GUNNAR, which counters with better build and pedigree. Budget + kit: KLIM. Premium frame + wraparound fit: GUNNAR. Same daytime-comfort philosophy.
Will KLIM help me sleep?
Only marginally — the brand positions the yellow lens for screen eye comfort and makes no sleep claim, and it is not aimed at blocking the blue+green light that hits melatonin at night. For real bedtime protection, TIJN's deep-red lens is the pick. KLIM is a workday tool.
What's in the kit?
The brand lists a carry pouch and a cleaning cloth. Some owner reviews also mention a hard case, but the brand's own listing does not include one.
Good for gaming marathons?
Probably — the brand pitches the yellow tint and light frame for screen comfort over long sessions, the same core use GUNNAR is known for, at a lower price.
