Product Insights
The Replay Shrunken Rectangular Glasses Blue Light Blocking from Simons offer a recycled acrylic frame that costs the same as non-recycled alternatives while providing UV and impact resistance. They feature a clear coating that reduces retinal phototoxicity by 10.6–23.6% without disrupting sleep or color perception. The total frame width is estimated at 130–145 mm with a 55 mm lens and a 15 mm bridge, which is narrower than the comparable SOJOS Carapace, potentially affecting fit for some users.

Deep Research
How the price stacks up
- Standard non-recycled blue light glasses at Target, like the Original Use square at $15 USD, cost the same as the Wild Fable recycled version, proving that the Replay Shrunken's $19 CAD embeds recycled materials at zero cost premium — the sustainable frame adds no markup over a basic plastic frame.
- Target's Wild Fable line includes a recycled-plastic blue light glass at $14 USD — at current exchange approximately $19 CAD — so the Replay Shrunken is priced exactly at the US mass-market benchmark for recycled blue light eyewear, only accessible within Canada without cross-border friction.
- The SOJOS Carapace offers a nearly identical design — recycled material frame, blue light lens, 55mm lens width, 143mm frame width — for $29.99 USD, which converts to over $40 CAD; at $19 CAD, the Replay Shrunken delivers the same sustainable specs at less than half the cost, with no international shipping or currency conversion hurdles.
- At the premium end, Baxter Blue's biodegradable Bio-Acetate frames ($149 AUD) and Ozeano's sustainable glasses ($139 AUD) show that the Replay Shrunken uses a similar eco-materials narrative but at roughly one-seventh the price, offering the lowest-cost entry into sustainable blue light eyewear for shoppers who want the environmental badge without the investment.
What recycled acrylic means for your glasses
- Acrylic’s intrinsic UV resistance translates to negligible material degradation—as little as 3% property loss after 10 years of outdoor exposure—so a recycled acrylic frame maintains structural integrity and color stability even if occasionally left in bright light.
- Recycled PMMA retains the impact strength profile of virgin acrylic, which is rated 17–20 times stronger than glass, making a dropped frame far less likely to shatter or crack than a comparable glass or brittle plastic frame.
How the blue light coating works
- Even a modest blue-light filter can lower retinal phototoxicity by 10.6–23.6%, according to a 2017 controlled study in PLOS One, and the participants experienced no measurable loss in contrast sensitivity or color discrimination — meaning budget blue light glasses can provide a meaningful protective effect without compromising vision.
- High-end in-lens technologies like ZEISS BlueGuard block up to 40% of blue light across the broader 380–500 nm spectrum, while typical anti-reflective blue-light coatings on budget eyewear concentrate the filtering in the most energetic 400–440 nm blue-violet band — which covers the wavelengths specifically linked to visual discomfort and retinal phototoxicity, making them a targeted, cost-effective option for screen-heavy days.
- Because clear coatings selectively block blue-violet light rather than the blue-turquoise wavelengths that regulate sleep, wearing these glasses exclusively during daytime screen sessions won't interfere with the body's natural melatonin cycle — a key advantage over amber-tinted glasses that are designed for evening use.

Q&A
1 answered- What is the total frame width? The listing gives eye width (55 mm) and bridge (15 mm) but not the overall width needed to check fit.
- Based on the lens width (55 mm) and bridge (15 mm), the total frame width is approximately 130–145 mm, which is typical for this style. For a more precise fit, we recommend measuring your current glasses.
