Description
Do you live and breathe the intense competition, the fierce challenge and the immersive world of the games on your screen? Do you constantly strive for endurance, perfection and longevity? Do you bemoan the limitations that keep you down and drain your energy? Sometimes, your greatest assets can become your biggest challenges as you play — when your sharp-shooting, fast-acting eyes begin to tire after helping steer you through level after level, it holds you back from continuing on the path you fought so hard to forge. You may experience eye fatigue, dry eyes, irritation or even headaches, but the outcome is the same — your endurance lags and you decide it's time to call it quits. You don't have to settle for limitations anymore — you can enter the future of advanced gaming, where tired is just a five-letter word.When you slip into Gunnar Gaming Eyewear, you'll slip into comfort and an exciting gaming experience. As the official eyewear of Major League Gaming, the MLG Phantom gives you the visual edge you need by reducing glare, sharpening details, improving focus and minimizing eye fatigue. Featuring a proprietary lens material in an advanced geometry, this eyewear targets near to intermediate distance viewing to protect your eyes and enhance your visual experience during long gaming sessions. The curved lenses deliver the second largest lens coverage in the e-SPORT series and limit air currents near the eye to reduce dry and irritated eyes. The geometry of the lenses supports your eye's natural focusing power for enhanced details and clearer vision. The idea of stopping a game won't come into your mind until you're ready.

Seems to help with eye strain, but still pricey

I use these primarily when I am at the computer, and I have noticed that my eyes no longer feel strained at the end of the day. That was the primary reason for purchasing the glasses: to filter blue light and reduce eye fatigue. So I am happy they have met my expectations in that regard.
However, for the price, the frames are very fragile/flimsy and the plastic lenses need constant cleaning. If you buy these, buy a box of lens wipes. No case is included either, so be careful where you put these when you are not wearing them; even with careful use, I already have a slight scratch on one lens.
I have not tried them for gaming yet; there is a slight magnification which I think helps when I am at the computer, but I don't know how it will affect my game when sitting further back for console gaming.
Overall, I am not sure I would recommend the product. I think you might be able to find something that does the job for less than $72 a pop. I wouldn't mind paying that amount if the glasses felt like a quality product in my hand. They do not. Part of this purchase was offset with a gift card, so I did not pay the full amount. If I had, I think I would have returned them.

My job essentially has me in front of a computer 8-9 hours out of the day. After work, I often play console or computer games, so I'm almost regularly spending more than half a day looking at a monitor. Eventually, I started getting regular headaches and my eyes would strain more and more due to all the artificial light I'd be exposed to. When I found these Gunnar glasses on sale, I decided to give them a try. I was surprised to find that I no longer experienced headaches, and as an added bonus, the color filtering effect of the glasses improved contrast in the games I was playing, which allowed me to see greater detail.
My only complaint is the price. Although not overly expensive, I was reluctant to purchase them until I found them on sale. The price is even greater directly on their website, especially if you order them with prescription lenses. For most users, the price may not be worth the benefit, but if you spend as much time in front of a computer monitor or television as I do, then it's worth the expense and definitely worth a try.

Overall, I'm really satisfied with this purchase. I have noticed a great deal less eyestrain during long sessions at the computer. The only downside is that I can't use it for console games, as I sit far enough away from the TV such that I need to use my regular glasses instead. I imagine people who wear contacts wouldn't have this problem, though.

For the price these glasses feel like they are cheap. The curved arms make them feel tight on my head. I can end up only wearing these for a few hours at a time, because they start to give me a headache. When I do wear them they are great at making things sharper and easier to read. If I didn't get headaches and they didn't feel cheap these would be great.

these glasses are great if you play video games for long periods of time. They have a slight magnification and the tinting really does reduce the strain on your eyes. My only complaint is that they legs squeeze my head a bit to much, not uncomfortable but I definitely notice it.

Your eyes will take a few days to get used to the glasses. I use the glasses when working on the computer and while gaming. They really do reduce eye strain. I wish I would have purchased them sooner.
