Swanwick Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Upon receiving my glasses, I put them on immediately! They fit me like they were molded for my face (regular size)! I sit at the computer all day at home and my eyes were beginning to hurt from the eye strain and even became blurry at times. I’ve had the glasses for about a week now. Let me tell you about my first night with them…….my husband and I do a lot of computer gaming. The first time I put them on, my eyes did a snoopy dance! No more strain, no more blurry, no more issues at all! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these glasses! Not sure how I lived without them to be honest! I had NO idea that blue light was stealing my melatonin and making it difficult to go to sleep. Now I know! I wore them for approximately 2 hours the first night. It was around 11:30pm when I sat down at the computer. By the end of hour one, I was actually getting drowsy (which never happens!). I thought to myself, this is just a coincidence. But I have to tell you, THE VERY FIRST NIGHT, I had the BEST EVER sleep of my life! I am not kidding or exaggerating. I slept like a log. You stated that it might take up to a week to get the benefits from wearing the glasses. Nope, not for me, it took ONE day to rock me into gentle sleep. No eye strain whatsoever anymore and each night, I sleep as if I were 5 years old again! These amber glasses have literally changed my life. Thank you for making such an awesome product! I can’t find any negative issues with the glasses, but if I had to say something, it would be that the amber color changes some of the colors in my games! That was the only thing I didn’t like, but I’ve gotten used to the colors now. I know that the amber color is the way to go to block out almost 100% of the blue light. Again, I adore these glasses and wear them almost all the time….in the sun, at the computer, in the kitchen where I have fluorescent and LED lighting. Love your product, love your company, love your customer service!

I have been searching for the right pair of blue light blocking glasses for years. I just received my Swannies, and I think the search ends here. You can see the different brands of glasses I own in the photo. Pictured from top to bottom are Gamma Ray, Gunnar Intercept, Uvex Skyper, and Swannies. Not pictured is another brand I reviewed and returned because of the bad glare.

All my previous purchases fell short in one way or another. Some felt flimsy or did not block enough blue, while others were uncomfortable or caused a blue reflection when looking at a light source. One of them has a slight magnification (standard for this style), which I think worsened my vision.

The Swannies do what they’re supposed to, and they do it well. Sturdy, quality frame, true blue light blocking lens, no annoying reflections or glare, comfortable fit. These are the things I look for in a pair of blue blockers, and you would be surprised how many brands fail to meet these criteria. Do your eyes a favor and invest in a pair of Swannies. After getting many different brands at different price points, I think I know a thing or two about what to expect from anti-blue glasses.

My order was sold by Swanwick Sleep and fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon’s fulfillment center overlooked a small issue, and the seller immediately stepped in and remedied the situation. So, not only are you getting a quality product, you know you’re also getting stellar customer service. Look no further.

I just received my glasses and put them through two stress test. First, I’d like to say they surpassed my expectations of blocking blue light. One test was with my reef aquarium growing Radion XR15w PRO full spectrum LED light fixture. It includes 4x CREE blue, 4x OSRAM deep blue, 4x CREE cool white and 9 other led lights with colors ranging from green to indigo UV. By testing the full wattage of blue, deep blue and indigo UV, these glasses filtered out almost all, if not all, blue light. Very impressive. From photos provided, one shot is from iPhone 6s’ new 12mp camera (no filter) pointing straight-on aquarium. Very blue. The other aquarium shot is with the Swannies’ lens upclose and covering camera while taking the picture. No blue. This light fixture setting is to provide maximum “morning” sun output for high coral growth. The second test involved shining a 200 lumen LED flashlight directly at the glasses lens to question it’s blue light blocking abilities. It reflected all blue and blue related light to the wall (see photo). I tested my $200 UV protecting Ray Ban P’s and you can see the results were not close.

Im a person on the computer for proposal creation, PC gaming (intense graphics– CounterStrike and WoW), creating marketing material on Photoshop and ESPN reading coupled with a Sony XBR Ultra HD TV watching Inside Out, and the likes, with my wife and little boys. Don’t forget about last minute catching up with Instagram, FB, last minute fantasy football lineups and the 10 o’clock news while in bed. My life is usually in the fast lane, like many others, and my sleep is very important, especially for someone who uses a Cpap machine for sleep apnea. Having the amber lenses on these glasses provides the protection I need without losing visual brightness. I did not like the normal yellow blue blocking glasses as they did not provide much blue blocking. After testing these glasses I feel reassured that my body will start producing melotonnin at regular levels and hopefully they’ll take care of my headaches as well. From what I gathered so far I give these glasses a very big two thumbs up for blue blocking abilities, without hindering visual, and and a plus for style. Sleep is vital and worth the cost of these glasses. I have no affiliation with this company and I did pay full price. I’m just a concerning parent adjusting to the new ways of life while technology tries to fix this new growing problem.

Unlike other reviewers, based on the identification number of my glasses, I appear to have gotten a genuine pair of Swannies. They appear to be very well made and they definitely eliminate most blue light. It’s a bit of an adjustment to get used to seeing the world with a yellow/orange tone, but nothing major. The glasses are very comfortable to wear. I’ve only had them a few days, so hard to really say if they’ve impacted my sleep at this point. I do find my eyes feel less strained / tired at the end of the day though.
