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.

Veil filters UV, blue light and, most importantly, the near-infrared light many security cameras use.

Why Vaydr

Infrared camera view: ordinary sunglasses on the left look see-through, Vaydr GLX lenses on the right stay dark

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.

These shades are awesome. I love the concealment that it offers and the green tinted lenses give off a sick view.

Ive tested them against cell phone facial recognition and a couple of security systems and both were defeated by these. The frames feel very well made as does the case they came with. I've also worn them all day in the heat. They were comfortable and they stayed in place.

Great style and the green takes some getting used to. But overall great product

Glasses are lightweight with flexible stems and comfortable. Includes a durable carrying case, glasses bag and cloth lens cleaner. Case also has a belt clip for convenient carry.
Totally satisfied with this product.

here's the good: they look good. they have a nice green tint that's good for the intense Arizona sun. they fit my giant size 8 head and don't squeeze. they have a modern and flattering look.
here's the iffy: I tried them on and went to perform the Face ID test. put them on, grab my phone, phone unlocks immediately. not sure if i've been using Face ID for too long and my phone is used to seeing me in glasses, but the Face ID test was my only way of testing if they "worked"

Great product, fits amazing too! Great for sunny days as well had blocking facial recognition; I tested it using IR cameras and my Face ID on my iPhone, and I highly recommend this product!

So far so good they are comfortable and they help stop facial recognition so that’s a plus as well overall great product

I love the frame design! They are super comfortable and fit perfectly and have no issues wearing them all day! I have had several people try to open up their Face ID on their IPhones with these on and the phones never open up. I am recommending these to everyone! So glad I saw your ad for these!

Fast shipping, quality is comparable to other big names. I hope they do what they say with cameras. At first is thought the lenses were Foggy, but my eyes had to adjust. I have 20/20 vision so i hope it is just the different tint. I live in FL, and wear shades everyday. Wish these came in glass.

Fits great, blocks the sun and does it's job protecting me from unwanted facial recognition scans. Big thanks to Vaydr for even making these!

After wearing the Veil glasses for a week or so, I honestly can say that I love them! They fit comfortably, look cool and more importantly, hopefully shielding me from facial recognition and whatever other intrusive AI-powered surveillance devices.

Phenomenal product. I recommend a pair of these to anyone and everyone.

Great comfort, style and privacy protection. It’s so swell to be VEILed. 10 out of 10. Would highly recommend.

My Vaydr glasses stay dark under infrared, so cameras have a harder time reading my eyes. They still look normal. Not invisibility — just the pair I actually wear. I have the Reacons and they’re really comfortable to wear all day.

They're comfortable physically on my face and visually looking through them. I feel safer in the grocery store knowing their shady digital tag cameras couldn't recognize me. And I feel a bit more protected driving with them on. My next large purchase will hopefully be contact lenses to top off my lovely Vadr glasses.

The shades are very comfortable and look good to me. I haven't tried their ability to block facial id software but soon I will. Wear them on my bike rides to and from work, the tint on them is very nice too.

They look cool. I'm not certain if they work as advertised. But it's kinda difficult to wear them as sunglasses. They make everything brighter and yellow. I love that they filter blue light. But it'd be even better if they could make things a bit darker. Especially when driving. I wear sunglasses when driving to cut down the glare and these don't seem to do such.

I feel like Rowdy Roddy Piper in the movie They Live while wearing these bad boys. OBEY, CONSUME, REPRODUCE

Great wraparound form (I get to be cool like the kids!). This model provides full coverage from the sun and full protection from the statists and their bots. And I love the yellow tint from the lenses!

AS ADVERTISED! Tested on my iphone, and biometric face recognition would not work. Great product, great packaging and great company. Shipping time was excellent and I plan to explore other products, too. Thanks, Veil!

These are great!!! Light enough for all day wear. They work as designed. If the next iteration could incorporate readers, that would be great.

They’re comfortable, appear to be well made. They do seem to turn everything yellow but not in a bad way. I’ve already visited several flocks and electronic tolls. I will continue to wear them and spread the word.

Even if they didn't fool AI, they are lightweight and have a great fit. The sides wrap enough that the setting sun doesn't intrude into your peripheral. And the green lenses, you just have to buy to experience yourself. 10/10 Have already recommended

Material feels cheap and flimsy for the price. The Impact rating
Z87+ is well below (7x's in-fact) MilSpec so not usable at the range either. Expensive for what it is.
