Swanwick Fit Blue Light Blocking Glasses

I do a lot of reading of my iPad’s Kindle app, and with my schedule the only time for I have for this activity is in the later evening. Since I am not a particularly sound sleeper anyway I have been concerned my sleep issues were being further exacerbated by the blue light emitted from the reading device. I researched blue light filter glasses and found many to be cheaply made and generally reviewed indifferently at best. Then I came across the ‘Swannies’. I was initially attracted due to the fact they had this model which fits over my standard reading glasses. After reading highly positive reviews on Amazon and elsewhere during the course of my research I decided to give them a try. Yes, they are more expensive, but considering the value of a good nights’ sleep I was not interested in pinching pennies on a cheaper product by a no-name manufacturer (from what I understand Swanwick’s primary product is blue light filtering glasses). Upon receipt I found these glasses to be very well made, and they fit just fine over my readers without my really noticing the fact I was wearing two pair of glasses. After several nights of use I am a true believer. I now can read for a couple of hours before turning out the light and go to sleep relatively quickly without the lying awake, burning eyes, etc. If I awake during the night and can’t go back to sleep I put the glasses back on, read for a few minutes, and generally fall back asleep within minutes. Great product.

I actually bought two pair of fitover glasses since I work a lot in front of the computer. The initial effect was great. I could feel my eyes were less tired. Then after a few weeks, my glasses started to fall apart. I first thought, I mishandled it since I need to fit the glasses on my regular glasses. I did not pay too much attention since I had a second pair. But then, it happened exactly the same thing. The temples broke at the hinges section but not the join itself, it is the plastic temple that broke around the hinge. It is unbelievable, such an expensive glass made with such a poor and cheap material. What a waste of money, I would not recommend it to anyone who needs fitover glasses.

I have researched the benefits of blue light blocking glasses for 3 years. Only two companies have glasses that are well-made and one is no longer in business. I believe the professor who was the owner and scientist/engineer has retired. Swanwick is the second company from which I have ordered. I wish they also carried the blue blocker night lights and small reading lamps offered by the previous company because the bulbs have lasted 3 years! I wear my glasses nightly 1.5 – 2 hrs before bed with and without my prescription glasses. They are the most comfortable style I have tried. I have the medium size, although I have a narrow face. Works perfectly for m!!. I have learned to store my blue light blockers in the provided bag and box for protection from scratching. I am a counselor who has many clients with sleep issues. I wanted to try Swanwick’s products to see if I could honestly recommend them to my clients. By the way, my Swanwick glasses came to my door within 2 days! NO, I am not related to the owners of this fine company 🙂

These glasses are amazing!!! They work well beyond my expectations!!! These glasses instantly block out the blue light from computer screens and electronics, and from harsh fluorescent lighting. They also reduce the glare of oncoming headlights when driving at night. They look great and fit well over prescription glasses. I love my Swanwick glasses!!! Well worth the price!!!
