RA Optics Maxwell: beautiful daytime glasses for life on screens
Between laptops, phones and bright LED lighting, many of us spend most of the day under artificial light. RA Optics Daylight glasses are designed for exactly that: lightly tinted lenses to wear indoors and on screens during the day, in frames you’ll actually want to wear.
The Maxwell is a classic rectangular frame with a straight brow line and a clear bridge, in glossy black. It’s one of the widest standard adult frames in the RA Optics collection, and RA Optics says it suits oval, round and oblong faces [1].
"I love how they protect my eyes from harsh light while helping me stay focused and energised. They’re an easy, reliable way to support my vision, reduce strain, and feel sharper and more balanced throughout the day." - Georgie x
Why we love them
💗 They look like proper glasses. Italian Mazzucchelli acetate and German stainless steel, not a flimsy gadget [1].
💗 A subtle tint. The Daylight lenses have a light yellow tint designed for daytime, so colours still look natural [1].
💗 Easy to live with. Anti-scratch, anti-reflective and easy-clean coatings, plus a case and cleaning cloth [1].
💗 Options for everyone. Choose non-prescription, readers or prescription lenses [1].
How the Daylight lenses work
RA Optics says its Daylight lenses filter blue light below about 465 nm, the shortest and most intense part of the light from screens and LEDs, while letting most other light through so you can see clearly [1]. They’re part of a three-lens system: Daylight for indoor daytime use, and darker Sunset lenses designed for the evening [1].
RA Optics says the Daylight lenses reduce eye strain and headaches, protect the eyes and support hormones, mood and energy [1]. These are RA Optics’ own claims.
Why we wear them
What we love is that they’re a comfortable, stylish way to soften harsh indoor light during the day, and a lovely nudge to think about the light we’re around.
