EyeQLenz with Zenni ID Guard – $29.95

Let’s start with something most of us wear every day: glasses. These lenses from Zenni aren’t just for style—they’re like a security system for your eyes.

So no one can scan your eyes without your permission.

Most lenses make you choose—blue light OR light adaptive OR UV protection. These do it all in one lens. They stay clear indoors, darken outside to act like sunglasses, and block infrared light, so devices can’t scan your eye without your permission. That means Face ID may not even work while you’re wearing them—which is the whole point. Protection is onOne pair of glasses that does what three pairs usually would—protection, privacy, and comfort built into one lens.
