Swanwick Classic Day Blue Light Blocking Glasses

I work on a computer all day and have for 9 years. 1 year into this work I developed terrible eye pain and light sensitivity. After going to 3 different ophthalmologist over a 3 year period, using 4 different eye drops, considering hormonal influence, etc., I finally found that using blue light blocking glasses got rid of the eye pain and greatly reduced light sensitivity. I recently bought 3 different pair of blue light blocking glasses, in three different price points at the same time and tried all of them without looking at the price that each was. I really thought this was going to be the best of the bunch, after all, generally you get what you pay for. This pair was the most expensive that I purchased yet seemed to do nothing to protect my eyes from the computer light or even UV light from the window. I’m sending these back and going with the more effective and as it so happens, more affordable options that I found.

Short review. If you live in the uk then these are the best blue light blocking glasses you’ll find. I have these (for work) and the orange lens ones (for evenings at home) to negate blue light from pc screens, tv screens and other fake light sources. The orange ones are amazing for sleep prep and my Ours ring data completely backs this up. These, clear ones, have stopped me needing my prescription glasses to work at a screen as (I guess) my eyes are under less strain. So if you. Only use glasses for screen use, these will probably cancel that out. I highly recommend both styles as part of a sleep optimisation arsenal.

Already familiar with blue blockers, so didn’t need convincing on how it helps my eyes (since I stare at a screen most of the day), but I was looking for a new pair after sitting on my last ones. These were the right price, and had the shape I wanted so I got them. Yay for Prime, they came right away and immediately went into my suitcase and I jumped on a plane. These are way more sturdy than my old ones and have that feeling of “nice” sunglasses when you hold them or wear them, but I did want to protect them as I traveled so I brought my own hard case. I actually got a compliment at the coffee shop I was working from (see pic). It’s been a week since I got them and I find myself wearing them all day with no issues. Good things!

They arrived today. Look great and seem to work just right. Nevertheless, they are warped (slightly uneven frames) which I find unacceptable being how much they cost. Therefore, I feel a bit disappointed with this product

Got a pair of these to help with staring at my dual monitors all day at work. They are stylish and the lenses definetly help with eye strain and all the things that go along with staring at a computer all day. I also plan on using them for video game playing.

Unfortunately as you can see in the picture the glasses are crooked and make me look like a crazy nerd here at the office. For something that cost about $70 I thought the frames would at least not be warped. For the disfigured “temples” (had to look that up) I am giving this 3 stars.

**UPDATE** –
After being contacted by customer service I was shipped a replacement pair that was not warped and are in great condition. For the customer service and getting an undamaged product I am changing my 3 stars to 5 STARS!!!

I tried a few different cheap brands to just get something that was good for the computer at work and they all absolutely sucked. They were either slightly magnified and causing me headaches (I don’t normally wear glasses, only for blue light) or the claimed “anti-glare” was putting a huge blurry blue reflection in the lens causing everything to look foggy. Swannies are amazing. Look great, comfortable, and actually do what they say they do. My eyes feel a lot better pulling 11 hour shifts at the screen.
