I’m now convinced
I’ve been wearing the Swanies whilst working at the laptop and for 2 hours before sleep for about a week now and I’m really pleased at the positive effects. I’d bought and returned a cheaper pair of computer glasses with yellow lenses before as I hadn’t noticed any difference so was unsure about buying these. The Swanies are comfortable to wear and feel and look like good quality. Results so far: when wearing them before bed I feel more relaxed and go to sleep a lot quicker. The next morning I wake earlier feeling less tired. Using them whilst working at the laptop and using my iPhone has already helped my eyes feel more rested. By wearing them I’ve also become more conscious, and practice, good pre-sleep habits such as not reading the news just before sleep, meditation / mindfulness, a cooler bedroom temperature and turning lights lower in the house etc. Do they work in isolation? Yes, but I’m convinced now that they help my eyes and sleep when combined with other good habits. I was 50/50 before buying them. I’m now convinced and have bought a pair of Swanies for my wife.

Overall very good in terms of functionality and style.
So far so good - after I ended up in A&E with Episcleritis (severe/persistent redness in the white part of the eye) without conclusive cause of the condition, I started to look into causes of eye strain in general... and blue light blocking came to my attention, since I was binge-watching movies 3-4 hours in bed on my mobile device every now and then, prior to ending up in A&E. So far something like 4 days of wearing Swannies at all times when I am at computer, and not using mobile devices in bed, I cannot quantify how much it has been helping, but I do certainly notice it is gentler to the eyes and the eyes are less strained. I have prescription glasses (13cm width), and Swannies which has a 14cm width sits perfectly on top. I am wearing two pairs of glasses on top of each other but it feels very light and I hardly notice now. Obviously I am planning to wear Swannies with contact lens eventually once my eye is treated. There are cheaper options, but I'm happy with what I paid for - I like the quality of the goods - superlight frame with decent spring mechanism. Style-wise it's very sleek - overall very good in terms of functionality and style.PS: I just wanted to add that Swanwick does "fitover" range, specifically fitting over the prescription glasses. In my case the standard Swanwick fits because my frame is smaller than average frames.

Definetly helping me sleep earlier when i use them to watch TV
Hello,I decided to buy another pair of blue blockers as my first pair broke but these are so much better than the cheaper pair i had! iv noticed a big difference when using these for watching tv on a night time, i get sleepy alot quicker which is great and cleary shows they are working in blocking the blue light.Kind RegardsAdam Smith

Very happy with these - would be interested to see a review comparing them with cheaper ones but I suspect they ARE much better.
I debated about these as it seemed a lot to pay and wondered if one of the other cheaper pairs would work just as well. Well I don't have the answer to that as I didn't buy any of the other ones for comparison. But these Swannies are great - they sit nicely on top of my prescription glasses and people looking at me don't immediately notice I have 2 pairs of glasses on (indeed the first reaction was "nice glasses"), I can see perfectly well through them both for my laptop (which is why I bought them) but also for walking around the house; I am not aware of any deterioration in my ability to see whilst wearing them although you might think there would be. They also seem to reduce eye strain and I do have the assurance (I think) of the lenses being high quality lenses which will not harm my vision in any way. I had wondered if the very orange colour of the lenses might reduce my vision, but I really don't think it does at all and it is possible/likely that they work so well because of the tint of the glass. So all in all I am glad I bought these ones. I am going to wear them a lot, so maybe it isn't a lot to pay. The only drawback is that if I look up or down I can see white light beyond the area they cover, but I am not sure that matters as in normal use of them I am not aware of this; a wrap-around style wouldn't look as nice and also might not fit over my prescription glasses as well.

LOVE these glasses!
We absolutely love our Swannies glasses. We use them to help us wind down in the evening. I put them on around 8pm and don't take them off before bed, it's like dimming the lights all over the house and helps me to feel more rested straight away. They look cool too, not nerdy like other glasses I have tried!! Would recommend.

It is ok i guess
My friend has glasses like this. Albeit his cost a lil more (about £40 more) but tbh i should of paid the extra. These do the job but it distorts color so much that functioning in these is very difficult. I'm a programmer so constantly reading code but hard to see the text with these. Making them useless, To reiterate. My friends glasses by a more known brand (£90) work the same but they don't blind you like these do. I doubt i'll be using these much unless i get a bad migraine. But they will impede my work. Perhaps for 'watching TV' or even 'playing games' you could get away with it. But heavy reading, writing or coding will probably cause more eye strain than it saves.

Glasses are fantastic, I've always had my eyes hurting when I'm ...
Glasses are fantastic, I've always had my eyes hurting when I'm on my PC. Now I wear them everyday, since the day I received them my eyes don't hurt anymore, maybe a bit there and here since I spend a lot of time on PC. A bit pricey, but in the 2 weeks that I've had them, they fell multiple of times, and not even a scratch. I use them to go everywhere, from home, to meetings. I used to have the PC rays going through my eyes, causing me a migraine, and effecting my nerve from the neck to the back, it's gone now thanks to these glasses.I personally use them to protect my eyes from blue light and rays, which left me less tense then before.I've not been payed for this review, this is an honest review from me personally.Glasses may not work for everyone 100%, since my problem was coming from outside, these glasses helped me more then I thought. I will though be recovering from years of not protecting my eyes.
