  I don’t believe the glasses you linked will do so either lol

  And how exactly are these glasses preventing that ? Simple ray optics would suggest otherwise !

    They are made from a material that reflects visible and/or infrared light and its lenses block the systems that is used to measure the distance between your eyeballs avoiding to create a unique profile from your face. Many facial recognition cameras (not all) relies on infrared to search for patterns in human face and this glasses reflects IR. These glasses are one of the few tools that we can at least use to try protect our privacy against facial recognition.

  They most certainly do not, my FaceID worked flawlessly with all of my glasses, invluding sunglasses even when I did not set it up with glasses
