For long-term use in front of monitors.
Great glasses and purely the best blue light blocking glasses there are out there. They're inexpensive and fulfills its means. If you're looking for a pair of blue light glasses that works and is not a fashion-brand with half-assed lenses, look no further. I've been using these for approximately 2 weeks everyday since purchase to reduce headaches and eye strain while looking at monitors and I must say it works. I was quite skeptic about purchasing glasses such as these but was instantly happy with the results that is not inclined by wishful thinking. The build material is what you could expect for the price but are slightly still durable if you don't stretch, drop or meticulously strain the glasses itself. For users wanting to use these with headphones, I would recommend adjusting your headphones 2 or 3 sizes bigger so it doesn't push against your head. It sometimes does this creaking sound of the plastic when you stretch it a little bit too far but is to be expected. Needless to say, they are also quite fancy and I have personally received comments on how 'cool' or 'awesome' they look with the orange lenses. Everything is perceived in a orange-tint colored fashion and is also to be expected knowing its blue light blocking effect. Works very well for normal use on smartphones, computers or tablets. I would not recommend these for editorial software or entertainment such as watching movies or photo/video editing as it will distort your sense of colors, hence not to be used while using any design/edit software. However, I would strongly recommend these if you use this for normal activity on the computer such as internet-browsing, reading under various lights, writing documents and even playing games that are not graphic dependent (such as single-player games or atmospheric games). If I had bad eyesight I would even recommend the pair that you put on your current glasses as it would pose to be a very helpful tool in your everyday life, knowing that we are affected by 'blue light' from all kinds of sources. 5/5 stars and would purchase again or recommend to friends and family. Great job Swanwick Sleep!P.S. The 7-day sleep handout link for a free e-book does not work. Not really important but interesting to note.*Note the reduce of headaches and eyestrain.

Good experience
Several have posted that after a few days or more they noticed the difference in that they slept better. I noticed the difference the moment I put the Swannies on my head. What I noticed was an absence of eye strain that I wasn't even aware of before I received this glasses. I do all my computer work and TV watching now with these glasses on. I don't know how else to describe it other than to say that my eyes feel more rested when using these glasses. Sure, it is just anecdotal and only my experience but I would definitely recommend them to anyone. As for fit: I started to purchase the "Large" glasses originally, but instead got the regular size and they fit just fine. The metallic hinges on the glasses are spring loaded and so the glasses accommodate to the size of your face. As for the color differences when wearing these glasses and watching TV... well, for me it just isn't a problem. Humans can rapidly adapt to a lot of changes in life and this one was a snap to adapt to... no problem. I spend way too much time ( 6 hours or more, sometimes lots more ) viewing a computer screen daily plus TV time as well. I feel confident that these glasses are providing much more than just better sleep. My reason for purchasing them was my concern over the exposure to blue wave light and how that might be contributing over time to macular degeneration. I can live with less than perfect sleep, but not nearly as well without my vision. As for the sleep issue, I haven't noticed any problems going to sleep when I have used these glasses, but I use them during the day as well and they have not lead to any daytime drowsiness issues whatsoever. Yes, anecdotal only... but that's my story.

A little pricey, but overall worth it.
First, before I bought them, I did research on the claims about sleep. This link would be worth reading for those interested:[...]That said, I've been using these for 2 days now. I deal with computers with over 12 hours a day, and it does take me a while to get to sleep - in the last 2 days, I've noted that I've had less trouble. I've also noticed less eye irritation over the course of the day. Truth be told, I'd probably do better if I simply didn't work with computers, but we all have to do what we have to.The construction is solid. I've bought cheaper pairs - one I leave at work - where when cleaning a pair, you can feel the lens clicking in the frame - a fragility that I don't want (and you probably shouldn't) from $15 pairs of blue blocking glasses. This pair I have doesn't click, and feels much more solid when taking the smudges off.The overall presentation when receiving it is a bit impressive - the box, the case, etc. And the email from the company makes it feel like you're actually doing business with someone who cares about what they're doing - so as little an investment that is for Swanwick Sleep to do, they seem to want to have a relationship with their customers rather than sell and forget. In this day and age, that is refreshing.I'd recommend buying these over any of the cheap ones out there, and supporting a company that seems to have a sincere desire to communicate with it's customers is something I'd encourage. It's not something new - it's something that shouldn't be old.
