The Golden Glo and the Nightshades work together to restore the natural arc of your circadian rhythm. Golden Glo lenses let in the beneficial sky-blue wavelengths your brain depends on for focus and energy, while filtering the harsh screens that keep you wired but drained. Nightshades pick up where daylight leaves off, recreating the warmth of firelight so your body can unwind, protect melatonin, and prepare for deep, restorative sleep. One sets the day in motion. The other brings the night to rest.

Precision Engineering
When we wake up in the morning and look out into a clear blue sky, it’s the positive sky blue wavelengths that tell our brain it’s time to be alert, focused, and awake. We need them. Yet most daytime blue blockers filter out too much melanopic light, even the immensely beneficial wavelengths, leaving you sluggish, unfocused, and out of sync with your natural rhythm. With the Golden Glos we took a very different approach.
Golden Glo lenses block over 90% of the 430-450nm dark blue light that contributes to visual fatigue, strain, and blue light toxicity. At the same time, they preserve violet light (400–420nm) to stimulate OPN5 and cyan light (~480nm) to activate OPN3 and OPN4, supporting daytime alertness, mood, and healthy circadian signaling.
The result is balanced protection: you shield your eyes from excess dark blue without cutting off the beneficial stimulation your brain and body expect during daylight hours.
Engineered with ultra-lightweight frames, Golden Glo glasses are comfortable for all-day wear with natural, slightly warm color rendering.
The Golden Go Transmission Spectra
Golden Glo lenses filter out the most harmful dark blue light while preserving the violet and cyan wavelengths your biology relies on for focus, energy, and circadian alignment. This isn’t blunt blocking, it’s precision light filtration designed for all-day performance.
Outshining the Competition
The blue blocker industry got lazy, blocking all blue light like it’s poison. We built Golden Glo to filter with precision, not fear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use my Golden Glos?
Wear the Golden Glos during your main working hours, especially when using screens or spending time under artificial indoor lighting. They’re designed to cut harmful 430–450nm dark blue light while preserving beneficial violet and cyan wavelengths that keep your circadian rhythm on track.
Do not use them outdoors. Natural sunlight contains the full balanced spectrum your biology needs.
How long will it take to see results?
For most people, the effects on eye comfort can be felt within the first day - less squinting, fewer headaches, and reduced visual fatigue during long screen sessions.
Circadian-related benefits, like steadier daytime energy and easier wind-down at night, typically become noticeable within 3-7 days of consistent daytime use. The key is regular wear during working hours and natural, unfiltered light exposure outdoors whenever possible.
When should I wear Golden Glo glasses?
Golden Glo is designed for daytime use, especially during long hours in front of screens or under artificial lighting. They’re ideal for your main working hours when you need to stay alert and protect your eyes from the most harmful dark blue light wavelengths (430–450nm). In the evenings, switch to our Nightshade glasses for complete melanopic (blue/green) light blocking to prepare for sleep.
Can I wear them outside?
We don’t recommend it. Natural daylight contains the full spectrum your biology evolved with, including beneficial blue, cyan, and violet light. Golden Glo is meant to protect you from the unbalanced light indoor, not filter the sun’s perfect spectrum.
How are Golden Glo different from other blue blockers?
Most blue blockers over-filter and block all blue light, which can disrupt your circadian rhythm and make you feel drowsy during the day. Golden Glo is precision-engineered to block over 90% of harmful dark blue light while preserving beneficial violet and cyan wavelengths that stimulate OPN3, OPN4, and OPN5 photoreceptors supporting energy, focus, and healthy skin.
Will they change how colors look?
Golden Glo lenses maintain natural color perception with only a slight warming tint. This keeps your environment looking normal while still delivering targeted protection from blue light hazard.
Do they help with sleep?
Indirectly, yes. By reducing harmful daytime blue light without removing the beneficial wavelengths your circadian system relies on, Golden Glo supports a healthier daily rhythm. This means when you do switch to full evening blue/green blocking, your body is more primed for natural melatonin production and deep rest.
Do they block UV light?
No. Golden Glo is designed to filter specific blue light wavelengths and preserve beneficial violet and cyan, not to block UV.
Do they come with a carry case?
Yes. Each pair ships with a protective case for storage and travel.
Is the nose bridge adjustable?
Yes. The nose pads can be fine-tuned for a secure and comfortable fit on the titanium models. The only one that is not adjustable will be the Onyx frame.
Can they be used with the Sky Portal?
Absolutely. They work perfectly together, Golden Glo filters your direct light intake while the Sky Portal optimizes your entire light environment.
How long will it take to get my order?
It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
Is there support if I have questions?
Yes. Our team is always here for you. Whether it's setup help, usage tips, or deeper questions about red light therapy, we’re ready to support your recovery goals.
Simply contact us at hello@getchroma.co and we will respond within 24 hours.
