TruVision Readers - 9601 Computer Reading Glasses w Blue Light, Anti Reflective, Acrylic Lenses
Quick take
TruVision Readers 9601 are computer reading glasses built for people who spend long hours looking at screens and also want a reader strength for close-up tasks. Review themes point to less screen-related eye fatigue and improved glare comfort, but there are tradeoffs, including a slight lens tint and mixed durability outcomes.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Designed for computer viewing, with anti-reflective glare reduction and blue light blocking.
- Many buyers report feeling less tired after a day of reading and screen work.
- Readers are reported to feel optically sound for typical daily use (not just casual reading).
- Multiple strength users mention comfortable adaptation at common monitor distances.
Cons
- Some buyers notice a slight tint, which can be a concern for color-accurate photography or graphic work.
- Durability is not fully consistent, with at least one report of lens chipping near the frame edge after limited use.
- Not everyone finds the computer fit effective, especially if your screen distance and focal needs are outside a typical reading setup.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is mixed but offers a usable pattern for decision-making. The most consistent theme is comfort for extended screen time, with several reviews describing reduced fatigue and fewer strain-related headaches or discomfort when working on laptops, larger monitors, and phones. Buyers also commonly mention glare reduction and that the glasses feel optically appropriate for close work, including reading and computer use at typical desk distances.
Where feedback diverges is around two practical considerations. First, some reviewers describe a noticeable tint, which matters if you edit photos, design graphics, or otherwise rely on accurate color. Second, durability feedback is uneven, including a report of lens chipping near the frame after only a few uses. Finally, a subset of buyers feels the focal setup does not match how they use a computer, especially if they expect broad “all distances” performance or their screen distance differs from what the reader strength is intended for.
Who this is best for
- People who work at a computer all day and want a reader option that can make screen time feel easier.
- Buyers who sit at typical monitor distances and want glasses that support close reading plus day-to-day screen viewing.
- Shoppers prioritizing glare comfort, since anti-reflective performance is a key part of the design.
Who should avoid (or double-check fit)
- Color-critical creatives (photographers, graphic designers), if you strongly prefer no tint. Reviews indicate some lens tint is noticeable to certain users.
- Anyone expecting one pair to cover all distances. If your workflow requires different focal points at varying ranges, reader glasses may not be the right solution.
- Buyers who are very rough on frames or lenses. Durability reports are not uniformly positive, so handle with care and avoid impact or rough storage.
Key features that drive day-to-day usability
Blue light blocking plus anti-reflective design
The intended use is computer time support, using blue light blocking and anti-reflective behavior to reduce glare and make long sessions feel more comfortable. In buyer feedback, these are the features most tied to perceived eye-fatigue improvements.
Acrylic lenses and reader-style focus
These are acrylic lenses designed for reading strength use. Reviews suggest most people feel the fit works best when your screen setup roughly matches common “reader use” distances. If you sit much closer or expect a different focal point than a reader is meant to provide, you may feel underwhelmed.
Lens tint is worth considering
Some buyers report a slight tint. If you rely on color accuracy, that tint could be distracting or unacceptable. For general comfort and glare reduction, it may be less of a concern, but it is a legitimate tradeoff to keep in mind.
Pros and cons recap
Choose TruVision Readers 9601 if you want a reader pair intended for computer work and you value glare comfort, with realistic expectations that it’s optimized for close viewing and typical desk distances.
Consider alternatives if you need color-perfect visuals, require more distance versatility than reader glasses provide, or you have concerns about lens durability for your usage style.
How to decide if the strength is right for you
Reader glasses are all about the match between lens strength and how far you hold tasks. Reviewers who were happy often described using common distances to their laptop, monitor, and phone, and then adapting to those settings. If you usually work much farther away than typical reading glasses use, you may need a different strength or a different eyewear approach (for example, progressive lenses or prescription computer glasses).

FAQ
Are TruVision Readers 9601 good for computer use or only reading?
They are marketed and discussed as computer reading glasses, and many buyers report benefits for long screen sessions. However, some reviewers feel the focal setup does not suit their computer distance, so your viewing distance and needed focus matter.
Do these glasses have a tint?
Some buyers notice a slight lens tint. If color accuracy is important for your work, consider that this could be a factor.
Will blue light blocking and anti-reflective coatings eliminate eye strain?
Buyers commonly report reduced fatigue and improved comfort, but results vary. If you have specific vision needs, consider pairing these with proper eye care and, if necessary, professional prescription guidance.
How durable are the lenses?
Durability feedback is not perfectly consistent. While many users describe them holding up during regular use, there is at least one report of lens chipping near the frame edge after limited time, so careful handling is a good idea.
Who are these best for?
They tend to fit best for people who work at screens most of the day and want reader-strength glasses that help reduce glare and make close-up computer tasks feel easier.
Who should skip these glasses?
Skip or double-check your fit if you need color-perfect visuals, if your tasks span wide distances beyond what reader glasses are meant for, or if you are hard on eyewear and prioritize maximum durability.
