Felix Gray Computer Glasses - Non-prescription glasses for people who stare at screens.

@taylorbarr Hi Taylor, we are working on building out the reservation confirmation, but you're order did in fact get placed! You won't be charged until they ship, and you will also receive shipping confirmation as soon as they leave our facility :) Thank you so much for the support, we can't wait to get them to you!

@kevnguy Hey Kevin, great question! The magnification we currently offer is the slightest amount possible, just +0.25. This helps the eyes' ciliary muscles work a little less while focusing in and out on the screen all day, and adds a little contrast to the overall image. As a developer, magnification would probably be great, as it's most enjoyed by those who spend the most of their day in a terminal or excel. It is, however, a personal preference, so if you try magnification and decide it's not for you, we'll send you a pre-paid shipping label and swap the lens for one without magnification free of charge :) Thanks again for reaching out, and we'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have at help@shopfelixgray.com!

@felixgrays @shopfelixgray Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check it out!

@shopfelixgray I'm sitting in the cart on your site right now, trying to decide this exact thing. Awesome that you guys will swap those out, I think I'll give magnification a shot! Thanks!

@vinnysesh We're glad you like what you see, Vinny :)

@tomlittrell Hey Tom, great question, as we had to do a ton of research when we left our old gigs as analysts to start this company. We learned that, in eyewear, you get what you pay for and there's a lot of science that goes into how the lens functions, especially when you make it as clear as possible. To start, looking at the wavelengths of high energy light diverted from the eyes, and how it's done so is keen. Most other blue blocking lens completely block the blue light with a coating that can chip or scratch, whereas Felix Gray lenses actually absorb the harmful wavelengths while allowing the "good" blue light through, and this is baked into the polycarbonate itself, so it will not chip or peel. To get a comparable lens from an optometrist would cost between $200-300, but we created our business to go against the historic disgusting margins of the eyewear industry. Another difference is the frame material and hinges. Where the $10 option from amazon is made of plastic with cheap hinges, we use premium acetate from Varese, Italy, with a durable hinges for longevity. While a more expensive and modern version may not be for everyone, we wanted to make sure we were sure to create the highest quality option available, suitable for any office or sense of fashion. Also, we're a small 2 person startup with a marketing budget that's almost non-existent. We have grown by learning some marketing tactics, but predominately by word of mouth, as we spent months demo-ing Felix Grays with employees at companies like Uber, Barclays, Spotify, Google and LinkedIn to make sure users found them beneficial before going to market. This was a really good question, and as I mentioned, something we were extremely curious about when starting Felix Gray. Everyone should ask it :)

@herewegrow Woohoo! We can't wait to get those tired eyes hooked up!

@braunshizzle Hey Braunson, we love our neighbors up north! In fact, one of our earliest adopters was an amazing Canadian developer from Microsoft that grabbed a pair when she was visiting the states. The 3 of us at FG are working hard at International expansion, and Canada is certainly first on the list! We'll be letting this group know the moment we're able to ship to all our friends with tired eyes around the globe :) http://shopfelixgray.us10.list-m...

@felixgrays Thanks, I've already signed up. I live ~5 minutes from the US border and have a address over there I can ship to so I may have to use that for now :D

@braunshizzle Oh awesome! That will work perfectly fine. Really glad this is the case; the only bummer about being such a young startup is having to be patient with operational facets like international shipping, but we're on it ;)

@braunshizzle savvy

@royalenfielder Hey Vineet, thanks for reaching out! Currently, we only ship within the US, but we're working hard to take care of all the tired eyes around the globe! We'll be letting this group know the moment we're able to ship abrod :) http://shopfelixgray.us10.list-m...

@rodolfobenitez_ Hey Rodolfo, great question! The glasses can be worn seamlessly with contacts, but we are also working on additional reader powers and prescription in 2017. We'll be letting all our friends needing Rx know via this group :) http://shopfelixgray.us10.list-m...

@felixgrays thank you ! Nice 👓 finally some glasses I am excited about wearing !

@filip_johansen Hey Filip! We currently only ship within the US, but we're hard at work trying to take care of all the tired eyes around the globe. We'll let this group know the moment we're able to ship internationally :) http://shopfelixgray.us10.list-m...

@kaizendad Nice catch, Wade! Updated. And we're working on offering prescription and additional reading powers in 2017, as we just launched this past year and started small! We'll be letting all of our colleagues requiring Rx know right when we're able to do via this group: http://shopfelixgray.us10.list-m...

@kaizendad I'm in the same boat. I have computer glasses with a very small prescription (+.75). Unsure whether the Felix Grays are a good idea for me since I already have glasses for this purpose, and they are designed specifically for my eye.
