FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about PRVMAL DARK.

PRODUCT

How is this different from regular blue light glasses?

Most blue light glasses filter 10–20% of blue light and use a nearly clear lens. PRVMAL DARK uses deep red lenses that block 99%+ across the full 400–500nm spectrum — the range proven to suppress melatonin. Every pair ships with an independent spectrophotometry report so you can verify the claim yourself.

When should I wear them?

1–2 hours before you want to fall asleep. That's the critical window when blue light from your phone, TV, and overhead lights does the most damage to your melatonin production. Consistency is key — wearing them at the same time every night gives your circadian rhythm the strongest signal.

Do they actually help with sleep?

The research on blue light and melatonin suppression is well-documented in peer-reviewed journals. Light between 400–500nm signals your brain that it's daytime. Block it, and your body produces melatonin on its natural schedule — meaning you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. We cite our sources on our Science page.

What do they look like on?

The lenses are deep red. Everything looks warm red through them. Most people adjust within 5 minutes and stop noticing. The frames are a classic rounded shape in matte black — they look like normal glasses, just with red lenses.

What's included in the box?

Your PRVMAL DARK glasses. That's it. No filler, no fluff, no tiny booklet you'll never read. Just the thing that actually helps you sleep.

Are they prescription compatible?

PRVMAL DARK currently ships with non-prescription lenses. They fit comfortably over most small-frame prescription glasses. We're exploring prescription lens options for a future release.

Can I wear them outdoors?

PRVMAL DARK is designed for indoor evening use — specifically the 1–2 hours before sleep. While the lenses do provide UV400 protection, the deep red tint significantly alters color perception, which makes them impractical for driving or outdoor activities.

What are your shipping times?

We currently ship within the US only. Free shipping on orders over $75. Most orders arrive within 2–5 business days.

What is your return policy?

30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not sleeping better, contact us at hello@prvmal.co and we'll process a full refund once we receive the product back in its original condition. No questions asked.

How do I clean the lenses?

Use a microfiber cloth with a gentle circular motion. For deeper cleaning, rinse under lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap, then pat dry with the cloth. Avoid paper towels, tissues, or clothing — these can scratch the lens coating.
