Nobody should be making these glasses in the first place. It’s an unbelievable intrusion on everyone’s privacy. Since Zuck seems to think so little of everyone’s privacy, why doesn’t he have a full-time livestream broadcasting all the time so we can all see what he’s doing? I hate this fucking timeline
Oh hey thanks, I’ve just recently realized I need a pair of backup glasses and I’d forgotten Zenni existed. I also remembered I have a prescription from a few years ago and my eyesight has been stable for the last decade AND I found a pair in exactly my style from literally the front page. Might as well get the id-guard ones even though facial recognition isn’t being pushed here… yet. IR blocking seems semi-useful even without that given that the day orb spews IR and UV at us all day long.
I work as a customer facing public servant. These things are a potential nightmare for my colleagues and I.
Any IR blocking lenses will work. I got some cheap wayfarer knockoffs and I like em ok. But I like cheap gas station shades.

Also if you’re so inclined to use makeup, I’m too self-conscious

I shouldn’t have have to go to those lengths just to do my job.

Many cameras today have ir-filters built in making this pretty useless.
Before those filters became common you could blind most security cameras with an ir flashlight, not so much today.
If glasshole googles don’t have that yet it’s just a matter of time.
Why do IR blocking lenses work on these? I thought tgey record light in the visible spectrum
