  TL;DR - just buy it. You will be thankful you did. I have been using various blue light filtering glasses for a while now. I had a pair of Gunnars a few years back and never really could get behind how small they seemed to be. I have a larger head, so this is nothing new, but when that is coupled with a headset clamping down on them, it became very uncomfortable very quickly. After retiring my first pair of Gunnar glasses, I opted to try a considerably cheaper pair from Amazon. They were incredibly comfortable, but just did not give the same protection as the Gunnar glasses. Being that I use them for both work and for the little time I have left to game, the cheaper glasses seemed like it would be the way to go just to keep the strain of wearing them down. But as time went on and career paths change, I found my self looking at my screen for longer and found what I was looking at to be more of a strain than what my cheaper glasses could handle. Fast forward to a few days ago when I happen to see that these were listed online and at a pretty considerable discount. And I can honestly say that had I known how big of a game changer these glasses would have been, I would have gladly paid full price, Just like every other Gunnar product, the quality is impeccable. The variety of different accessories that allow you to customize these though is what really sold me. Pulling the case from the box reveals that these are definitely part of a top tier product line. The case is large, but with harder material so that nothing inside is damaged. Inside the case there are sunglasses lenses to replace the amber ones, different types of arms and a “strap” to allow you to comfortably wear with a headset, different sizes pieces to sit on the bridge of your nose, a soft string case for the glasses, a microfiber cloth and cleaning wipes. Out of the case, the glasses have the thicker plastic arms with a nice textured grip that sits behind your ears. These are light weight and I am sure would feel phenomenal for someone that doesn’t have a very large head. I switched then to the thinner metal arms just for every day use that does not require a headset. They seem to fit a larger head a bit better, and still aren’t too bad to use a headset with. At the time of writing this, I am unaware how well the arms will feel for a full day of using a headset, but after using for about 2 hours it was fine. I am sure that using the included strap will be even more comfortable for extended periods. Needless to say, this are going to be a daily use for me, and once I am working in an office again, I will be investing in a second pair to have at home as well.

  I am a competitive gamer, I recently started getting bad eye fatigue after looking at a screen for over an hour. Other brands of glasses hurt behind my ears while wearing a head set. This set of glasses resolved my problems and more. The skinnier set of arms are absolutely un noticeable behind my ears while wearing a head set, and if that’s not enough they come with an armless strap that feels like there’s nothing behind your ears. They also have a very convenient release to swap the arms, or strap. The amber lenses enhance my screen quality, and relieves the strain on my eyes. All while slightly magnifying the image which helps me see more with my peripherals. I have also had problems with other glasses where my eyelashes would hit the lenses and bug me. These come with 3 different sized nose pieces that move the glasses closer or further from your eyes depending on your preference. They also come with sunglass lenses which I honestly didn’t think I’d use, but after gaming with them and how comfortable they are. I’m just going to retire my Oakleys and wear these! Seriously these things are awesome! One set of glasses is all you’ll ever need. Office work, gaming, or driving to work in the morning with sun glaring in your face this is all you’ll need. They got tons of extra goodies in the case that surprised me. Definitely worth the 5 star!
