Sorry, but I don't buy any of that blue-light marketing crap. And you can use f.lux or Night Shift on your Apple devices if you really think it makes any difference; you don't need blue-light blocking glasses.
Considering the only pair I bought from them previously was $143, this is cheaper.
Now if that pair wasn't easily scratched, had both lens cracking at the mounting points,
and the coatings flaking of around all the edges... I might be willing to pay $20 for another pair.

I've only gotten Blockz once, and that pair was really just for testing my new prescription, so not much to compare.
I usually get Trivex or Polycarbonate for impact resistance, so none of these higher index lenses.
My two pair of photochromic lenses have worked well, but they don't get especially dark. I still have sunglasses for when I'm going out in the sun, but for day-to-day use, going inside and out, they are great to have.

Photochromic doesn't do anything inside, where readers and computer ranges are typically used. Probably why that's not an option.
If you don't have a specific reader prescription, you can use a progressive Rx and just add your "near vision add" amount to the first value on the prescription, the SPH, or spherical.
For computers, add about half of your ADD value to the SPH.
You could even make Mid-Range progressives by adding half your ADD value to the script and changing the ADD to half the regular value.
