Do orange glasses block blue light?
Yes, but how much depends on the lens. Pale orange and yellow tints are sold for daytime screens and let more blue light through. Deep-amber lenses are made for the hours before bed. SleepSpec’s deep-amber lens blocks 98% of blue-green light across 400–520 nm.

How do I know how much a pair blocks?
Check the listing for a blocking percentage and a wavelength range. The body clock is especially sensitive to short-wavelength light around 480–490 nm, so the range should cover that band. If a listing gives neither figure, you cannot tell what the lens filters.
Are cheap orange glasses enough?
Some are. The price doesn’t tell you; the figures do. Orange glasses for sleep: do cheap ones work? goes through what to check.
What does the evening look like through orange lenses?
Strongly amber. Colours look different, while screens and text stay usable. Your eyes adjust within a few minutes, much as they do with tinted sunglasses, and the view starts to feel normal.
