Focus Swannies

Blue light has been shown to inhibit the body's ability to produce melatonin, the hormone that helps us get to ssleep, stay asleep, and achieve quality sleep. When worn in the hours before bedtime, Sleep Swannies filter out this blue light so your body can produce sleep-promoting melatonin naturally, allowing your body to properly prepare for sleep, find yourself asleep faster, and sleep better all night long.

When worn during prolonged use of electronic devices, Focus Swannies help prevent symptoms of digital eye strain such as sore eyes, headaches and fatigue.

If you’re driving during the day when it’s sunny outside, Swannies Sunglasses are your best option. Beyond our blue light blocking technology, the lenses in our sunglasses are polarized to protect from glare and UVA/UVB UV light rays while preserving color and visual clarity.

While all Swannies are 100% UV-rated and offer protection from UV light, Sleep Swannies are primarily designed to be worn during the evening and while using digital devices, and do not offer as dark a tint as sunglasses, which are designed to reduce sun glare.

Our Henley Sunnies are the best option for driving during sunny conditions, as they have polarized tinted lenses that block glare as well as the harmful spectrums of blue light. You can also trust that the blue light blocked is sufficient for protection, but not so much as to affect your ability to drive. Polarization and protection from UV rays, added with blue light protection make Swanwick Sunnies the ideal protective eyewear for driving.

Focus Swannies are perfect for those who suffer from tired eyes, discomfort, headaches, dry, itchy or irritated eyes while working in the office. These symptoms are often a result of working for prolonged periods on computer screens, gaming, and in spaces with harsh artificial lighting.

If color fidelity is crucial for your office work, for example in design work or gaming, you may find Focus Swannies glasses beneficial as a blue light blocking solution.

When shopping for blue light protection glasses, it’s essential to find the details about not just how much blue light they block but also what range of the light spectrum they block as it pertains to the time of day you’re wearing them.

During daytime hours, some ranges of light are beneficial to our health, so it’s important that some blue light is still allowed through the lenses in daytime hours. However, in the hours before bed, you need to block the full spectrum, which is what our Sleep Swannies blue light blocking glasses are made for.

For example, a pair of blue light blocking Focus Swannies block blue light between 45-98% of blue light between 400-450nm, which studies have shown is the most harmful part of the spectrum.

They allow some blue waves in the range of 450-500nm to get through, as exposure to this range during the day is important for giving your body the signals that it is daytime and that it should be awake.

You’ll find most clear-lens blue blockers and computer glasses on the market only block blue light up to 420nm. Focus Swannies, however, block 98% of blue light at 400 nanometers, graduating to 45% at 450nm. This is considered the most harmful part of the spectrum. Our daytime lenses are optimized to let just the right amount of beneficial light through while blocking the harmful spectrums.

Conversely, Sleep Swannies blue light blocking glasses block over 99% of blue light, which is crucial for helping your body slip into a natural sleep rhythm by promoting melatonin production.

Not all blue light glasses are created equal, so it’s important to look beyond just the tint.

First, consider what wavelengths the lenses are designed to filter. The most effective lenses target the blue light spectrum associated with digital screens and evening light exposure, rather than offering minimal or cosmetic filtering.

Next, look for purpose-built lenses. Daytime lenses should support focus and reduce eye strain, while evening or night lenses should be designed to help your body wind down by reducing blue light that can interfere with your natural sleep cycle.

It’s also important that the lenses are tested and transparent in their performance. Third-party testing and clear specifications indicate that the product is engineered for real-world use, not just appearance.

Finally, consider comfort and usability. High-quality blue light glasses should balance effectiveness with visual clarity, allowing you to go about your routine without excessive distortion.

The right pair isn’t just about blocking light, it’s about supporting how you function, focus, and recover throughout the day.

We recommend wearing Focus Swannies if you suffer from symptoms of digital eye strain such as tired eyes, discomfort, headaches, dry, itchy or irritated eyes. This may occur if you are working for prolonged periods on computer screens, gaming, or even under harsh artificial lighting during daytime hours.

You may also find Focus Swannies glasses beneficial if you are looking for a pair of blue light blocking glasses that maintains color fidelity, for example design work or gaming.

With our increasingly digital lives, there’s almost non-stop exposure to harmful artificial blue light. Fortunately, Focus Swannies blue light blocking glasses can be worn all day, as they still allow plenty of the beneficial natural blue light rays to pass through while blocking the harmful spectrums of blue light.

Swannies are suitable for all ages and are especially beneficial for children who regularly use digital devices. Blue light exposure can be higher in younger, developing eyes, so supporting healthy screen habits early on is important.

For our Sleep Swannies, we recommend the Kids Colors Collection for children under 12. For older children, our Classic Kids, Classic Small, and Regular sizes offer a comfortable fit.

In our Focus Swannies range, we offer Kids Crystal Swannies, along with Classic Small and Regular sizes, making it easy to find the right fit as your child grows.
