If you’ve been following me on social media, you may have seen my mom handing me her readers while I squint at a menu, a bottle label, or something else with small print.
My overall health is great, and I’m in amazing shape as I train for my bodybuilding competition, so it’s not fun to accept that while my far-away vision is still great, my ability to see up close is starting to go down the tubes.
(When I tell my Rebels to put on their glasses before inputting their information while signing up for a program, I’m also talking to myself now! 😂)
Now that I need readers, I’m SO grateful that Swanwick Sleep, who makes the Swannies blue light blocking glasses I recommend, also offers prescription day and night Swannies.
If you’re new to Code Red, Swanwick Sleep is one of the companies I partner with to bring you solutions that enhance your Code Red Lifestyle™ experience.
Swanwick does readers, glasses for people who are only near-sighted, AND bi-focals/tri-focals for people who need vision correction for up close and farther away.
As for the pricing, I’ve seen eyeglass frames (just the frames, no lenses) that cost more than a complete set of prescription Swannies lenses WITH frames.
Since sleep is the #1 rule in weight loss, I endorse Swannies as a way to protect your brain from overexposure to blue light – especially at night, when too much blue light interferes with our brain’s understanding that it’s night.
When that happens, our brain won’t instruct our bodies to release the amount of melatonin we need to fall asleep, and so our sleep suffers.
Melatonin is a hormone our bodies make naturally. It’s supposed to go up at night to help us sleep, and go down in the morning to help us wake up.
The artificial blue light from our devices and indoor lighting disrupts the body’s ability to know when to raise or lower melatonin levels, so it can make falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning difficult. (Artificial blue light also strains our eyes.)
If you spend a lot of time looking at your devices (day or night) or computer, or you’re indoors all day under artificial light, then prescription Swannies are a one-two punch for both seeing clearly, and to protect yourself from melatonin disruption caused by over-exposure to blue light.
Their blue light blocking glasses help our bodies regulate melatonin levels by filtering out the excess blue light.
Consistently wearing them every day has been shown to make it easier to fall asleep, improve sleep quality, and reduce eyestrain.
Swannies come both with and without vision correction.
But if you do need them, getting a pair of prescription Swannies means you don’t have to wear two sets of glasses to get the blue light blocking benefits.
So if you wear corrective lenses and would love to have them with Swanwick Sleep’s blue blocker technology to improve sleep and reduce eyestrain and headaches from staring at screens and/or being under artificial light all day, go to:
From there, scroll down to see your prescription Swannies choices. You’ll need a copy of your eyeglass prescription when you go to purchase them.
Pick the frames you want, choose from day or night, and choose the size. (Make sure you consult the sizing chart, so you get Swannies that fit your face.)
Next, choose which type of lenses you need – either single vision, or progressive.(Single vision is if you JUST need help seeing far away, or you JUST need readers. Progressive is if you need vision correction both to read and to see far away.)
Then upload your eyeglass prescription and complete your order.
