More than ordinary sunglasses
Facial recognition, camera networks and the AI systems that mine them are now part of everyday life. Ordinary sunglasses were not built with any of that in mind.
Recon filters UV, blue light and, most importantly, the near-infrared light many security cameras use.

Why Vaydr
Privacy
Problem: Cameras that analyze facial features and visual patterns to identify individuals.
Solution: Vaydr lenses are designed to interfere with key visual inputs these systems rely on, which can lower the confidence of facial analysis.
Daily Wear
Problem: Tools designed for privacy often aren’t practical for daily use.
Solution: Durable frames, lenses, and comfortable fit make Vaydr sunglasses easy to wear anywhere you’d normally wear sunglasses.
Discretion
Problem: Most privacy gear looks unusual and immediately draws attention.
Solution: Vaydr sunglasses are designed to look like clean, modern eyewear so you can move naturally through everyday environments.

Effectiveness & Limitations
Vaydr glasses are designed to interfere with visual tracking systems but cannot guarantee complete protection. Effectiveness varies depending on environment, lighting, camera sophistication, and viewing angle. Best used alongside other privacy practices.
This is the 2nd pair I've purchased. I don't leave home with one.
Working in a major metro area, it is impossible to ignore how ubiquitous facial recognition cameras have become at every high-rise entrance and traffic intersection. Walking to work was starting to feel invasive, so I picked up a pair of Vaydrs to reclaim some everyday privacy. Unlike standard sunglasses that biometric cameras see right through, Vaydr’s GLX technology actually disrupts IR scans and visible-light tracking around the eyes. They look like clean, modern premium eyewear, so you get top-tier protection without looking like you're wearing an obvious privacy disguise. Slipping them on for my daily commute instantly takes the edge off that constant feeling of being cataloged. If you work in a dense urban environment and value keeping your identity your own, these are worth every penny.
The best lenses for privacy and daily use ever.
With these Vaydr Recon Sunglasses I have found both IR from TV remotes fail to pass through and UV from my black light flashlight.
I would 100% recommend these to anyone that takes privacy even slightly seriously.
Lastly the Recon Sunglasses blend in perfectly with other brands and fit just as well if not better.
Great product! Well made,and comfortable fit. Not a 'made cheap ' pair if sunglasses. Yes, they are priced higher then other so called blocker brands,but you get the quality that works. Your privacy is worth more than you know, invest in it.
I purchased these glasses because I believe in personal privacy.
These are awesome. Stylish yet functional. Liked them so much I bought four more pairs for my friends. To anyone reading this, I highly recommend these, a nice strong cup of coffee and regularly reading through the declaration of independence and the constitution after morning Bible time 🇺🇸🦅🥩☕️📖
Not only does it work against FaceID, they are also just great sunglasses?! They lower the brightness without adding shadows.
After you take them off everything looks a little purple for a minute, which is fun.
AND it comes with a hardcase. 10/10, 5/5, great stuff.
I love them they fit comfortably and I believe anyone else would love them too
They work ( that is why I wear them) but I feel that the material for the frames feel cheap For the money I paid I would expect a better quality frame. It hard to see with a picture ( which I uploaded) it the feel.
I was skeptical of how lite they were at first. But, after a few days of wearing them it's one of the things I like most about them. Extremely comfortable.The tint is easy on the eyes in bright or low light situations. The case and care kit was a nice surprise and for sticker whores like myself the vayder sticker for my toolbox was the cherry on top.
Awesome Glasses! I love the color of the shade. Not too dark but Juuuuuussssst right! They fight a lil snug but I got a big head 😂🤣😭. But fr tho they are on point and I did the cell phone test and it will not open up without taking the shades off. ❤️
I recommend them to all who love anonymity. And want to remain there. God Bless you Guys! Yall got these right. And especially the price is perfect.
Product came relatively quick, considering it was on backorder. And the product itself feels nice to wear and the packaging was great! It came with a nice case, complete with a protective drawstring sleeve and a microfiber cloth. My one complaint is that I wish there was a version of the Recon available with a metal frame. Otherwise, I’m very pleased with the purchase!
The Recon are amazing! I'd def would like yo get another model. The only complaint I have is that the case is way to big and flimsy. I get the value added are the glasses but it would have been nice to get a slightly better design and sturdiness to the protection
Comfortable style, different yellow view. Privacy King
So I got them on Saturday. I like them. They fit nice. The diffusion is yellow/green which I expected. I’d say the quality is as expected. I like them, I just have to hope the flock cameras short circuit when they see me!
The glasses are sick, got them because they started putting up more flock cameras around where I live and I figured to try them out. They work great for the anti facial recognition and equally great as regular sunglasses. I’m really glad I ordered these. Also love the case they came in.
They work very well and well constructed, arrived late because of a back order but happy with what I had received, I own a Digital night vision device which uses IR to see in the dark. The glasses did as advertised in their many videos.
Great Glasses, fit very well and look great !
I never received my glasses.
Pretty fly. The frame could be sturdier, but the product isn’t overpriced for what it does. I’ve only tested it against one prevalent system so far, and look forward to testing more as I can. If this pair keeps delivering, I’ll look forward hopefully seeing stronger (even if pricier) builds someday.
They look decent and have a green tint. Appear to be well made.
Loved the shape, the fit and the overall goal and mission of these glasses. It's absolutely important we create our own privacy in a world that doesn't allow reasonable expectations of personal privacy.
Not only do these sunglasses help protect my identity from facial recognition cameras but they are actually stylish and look great too. They stay on my face while I work (I work outdoors) which a lot of other sunglasses keep sliding down my nose. My favorite part is they keep the sun and the government out of my eyes. Quality is great and shipping was fast. I definitely recommend and how can you not support a business with a good product from people that are out of the box thinkers?
