Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've tried a lot of amber lens eyewear, used for eye strain while on the computer at work all day. These are "amber max" and superb in terms of eye comfort. My eyes are relaxed all day, so much so that I find myself wearing them outside and anywhere indoors where there is harsh, bright lighting. AND they look great. I get so many compliments on them. I'll be purchasing a second pair of GUNNARS with "amber" lenses (a pale yellow tint) and they look very sharp! I highly recommend :)

I was very unsure about the effectiveness about these glasses especially for the price, but I have been having issues with eye fatigue and wanted to see if this product really would work. I picked them up because they were on sale and I had a 10 dollar rz cert, so i got them for 40, but asked my friend/ BB employee Adam at store 408 (I love this guy) and he said, "if your buying them because you think the image will be so much better!, then they might not be worth it" I said, I'm buying them because I have issues with sore eyes, and stiff neck, and he replied, "then you will certainly see a big difference." And boy have I, I thoroughly enjoy these glasses, I think I look like a giant nerd because of the frames, but lets face it, i spend a ton of time in front of a computer, so technically I am a giant nerd. You will notice a difference in lighter tones, like light grey and the like, but most other colors will remain the same. I also noticed it takes the edge off of games that appear too sharp. Far Cry 3 looks so sharp it was bothering my eyes, which was the main reason I bought these, and afterwards it looks much better and doesn't make me feel nauseated while playing that game for awhile. If this pair breaks, I'm buying more, but maybe in a more fashionable frame, I bought this style because it was cheapest, if you are on the fence, go with this cheaper style until you discover how great that are.

I bought these glasses due to the fact that I spend 12+ hours per day in front of a digital screen. I work full time for a website design firm in tech support so spend easily 8-12 hours in front of a PC at work, at home I'm either using my MacBook, my iPad or looking at my iPhone... not to mention I regularly play Halo 4, Madden 13 and Call of Duty on Xbox 360 (looking at a 42" plasma)... needless to say, I have regularly dry eyes, headache and eye fatigue... I figured all the time I spend in front of a screen both for business and pleasure should warrant a purchase of the proper equipment needed to protect my eyes. Immediately after purchasing these, I've noticed sharper text, clearer colors and enhanced contrast.... 5 hours now looking at a monitor and guess what? I feel I could easily go another 5 hours without removing my new Gunnars and rubbing my eyes. Worth every penny... and they are fashionable as well (though my wife says they make me look like a Hipster... everyone else has complimented me on them and asked where I bought them).

I bought these to use with my computer monitor while doing paperwork online. I have to do a lot of reading and writing while sitting at my computer. Sometimes I am in front of the screen for 4 or 5 hours doing work. These glasses have helped dramatically decrease the fatigue my eyes feel. My eyes don't feel as dry or tired. I'm not blinking as much to rest my eyes. I was not sure they would work, but decided to take a chance. I'm thrilled with the result.

These glasses are the Best! I use prescription progressive lenses , and they are not convenient at all when leaning back on the couch. These seem to have some strength to them as I can see clearly as if I’m wearing my prescription glasses. So, for me it works out perfectly. The warm yellow tone soothes the eyes and does not cause any stress at all. They might be made for gamers, but they are great for just watching tv or working on the computer.

i use these for tv viewing, gaming, computer usage, phone texting its an all around i use them for 10+ hours a day and my eyes feel great after wearing them makes any dim light on any screen light up bright and easier to read see and work on computer A +++

the science going on here works as it should. I can go on playing games and using the computer without my eyes getting tired. I like the frame so much im gonna get my prescription lenses placed on this frame. I also contacted gunnar and I can send them my percription to get a pair of amber lenses for the gunnar set to work as it should AND I can see. I recommend this to ANYONE who uses tech pieces a lot because this helps for anything electronic you stare at a lot not just games. it also helps when driving at night to reduce the glare like sunglasses but without dimming your view.

Excellent, it really helped with eye strain, work with 8 PC screens 12 hs a day, this glasses changed my life

Bought these when they were on sale for $29.99. That's about all they are worth at the most. First off, they do enhance what's on your TV or monitor. Colors are more vivid and everything is just generally sharper. There is also a slight magnification. Not really sure I've noticed any real eye fatigue benefit, maybe a little. On the negative side, these frames are just ugly. They are rather large and nerdy looking, reminding me a lot of the glasses "Wild Thing" wore in the movie Major League. I also get a glare/reflection on the inside of the glasses, which is actually a reflection of my eyes. This tends to be worse the darker the room. Overall these aren't bad, nor would I say they are really good. If I had paid more than $30, which I didn't due to RZ points, I would be taking them back.

One of Gunnar Optiks Eyewear retailers happens to be Best Buy. When these frames were presented at a location near me I jumped on buying these because of the price point. At 59.99 they are a complete steal. After buying these frames and seeing the many beneficial qualities of weaing Gunnar Optiks from improvment of visual environment, detail & focus to reduced eye fatigue and protection I purchased many other sets. This frame Onyx in paticular is flattering on all facial structures. Thus, men and women look good in this set. On top of that the quality of the frame is substantially good for the price point. I would highly recommend Gunnar Optiks to Gamers & individuals spending long periods of time staring at a computer screen. They are a very good investment to look into and It was worth the trip and the money to the store. On the website they have a even bigger detailed selection and also you can obtain perscription pairs. Over all 10 out of 10.

I am a gamer and go to school online. I am on the computer 10+ hours a day and would constantly get headaches. I purchased these and I wear them over my regular glasses. Since I have been wearing them I do not get headaches or sore eyes. I have recommended these to friends.

Like many reviews on here I am somewhat surprised these have helped. I could tell after a couple of hours that they were working because no headaches or strain started up. Very cheap and built pretty well. Worth the money. Much easier to fall asleep after gaming as too.

So I used to have headache if I play more than few hours but after wearing these I can play little bit longer plus It also help me when I'm at work. First it will be annoying to use it but you will get use to it, but definitely help. Cons: It expensive. So 1 star off.

Besides looking like a goon, these glasses are amazing I feel like I bought I new pair of eyes. Crystal clear vision knocks out the blue light strain from staring into devices all day.

They looked good Shipping was fast Quality is good

I actually bought this at bestbuy for 69.99 instead of the listed 59.99. I read about how you don't notice wearing them at first, but later you'll see slight enhancements to your gameplay. It's slightly true if your TV is ultra bright. Imagine your vision at 100%. It just increased your vision by 100.5%. That's basically what they do. When I bought these I noticed that they make me look like a total hipster. It's bad enough that NRA members wear the metalic kind, but now its in a hipster black plastic for the retro NRA look. All in all, it's my first pair and I can't say very much then if you want to enhance your gameplay by .5% that's what it'll do.

Great purchase, my eyes are happy and no longer will get fatigued!

I purchased these due to my eye twitching when I was used my computer for a long period of time. These worked very well for me. I was also able to pay for these with my Flex card. So see if your doctor will write a prescription for these.

Does what it is supposed to do, enhances HD by reducing glare, good for a serious gamer otherwise good computer monitor lenses.

Glasses work very well - cut down on eye strain. Kind of hard to get use to.
