Customer Ratings & Reviews

Working in front of screens most of the day, and hate the lighting in your office, Gunnar's are worth because this gaming glasses are solidly built, comfortable, and can block out harsh light from your monitors. Thank You Gunnar!

These Glasses are awesome!!! Thin and lightweight on the weight side - almost feels like there is nothing there. Snug fit around the eyes and nose. Stylish design I'll even keep them on when visiting other people around in the office. The glass tint is just enough to block the blue light without making the room darker. Comes in a soft micro-fiber carry case; used for cleaning the glasses too. These actually have a tinge of magnification to the glasses to help relax the eyes while playing games or staring at a computer screen for hours at a time. I'm actually going to be buying a second pair for home, so the one i have now will be at work. Looking for a gift for computer gamers? Xbox players? Yeah, get these glasses for them, they'll feel like a pro wearing them while raking up the KD ratio and they wont be able to thank you enough!!! The Quality is Worth the Price!

These glasses are comfortable, light, and stylish... But they really don't live up to the promise of reducing eye strain because they produce really bad ghosting/glare whenever you're looking at a bright subject on a dark background. (which not only covers most games I play, but also the way I have my desktop environment set up) In the time I've owned them, almost a year now, I've only intermittently used them, and mostly only in brighter environments. For something that's supposed to reduce glare, they do a pretty bad job.

Very light and has a slight magnification to them. I haven’t worn them for a long period of time yet, so I’ll hold off judgment on its ability to reduce eye strain/fatigue. But, they are very comfortable! Also, was told they look like glasses Tony Stark would wear. Worth the sale price I got them for.

As one may guess by the title, I’m extremely pleased with these. They have reduced eye strain during gaming and I can actually fall asleep at night after gaming. I love how light weight they are, I have walked away while wearing them and forgotten they were there. I would definitely recommend if you game/work hours at a time on a screen or if you get headaches from excessive screen time.

I work long hours in front of a computer screen and occasionally game a bit in my off time. My eyes were always strained, the newer monitors have "paper" or "eye-saver" mode which is a nice help however it wasn't necessarily enough. Wearing these has completely stopped any eye soreness I have had as well as reduced headaches.

While I'm skeptical about the claims that this will "enhance" your vision, I don't think this will make you a better player per say. What it will do is reduce eyestrain. I was not even aware that I was straining my eyes until I used these glasses. It did make playing more comfortable.

Computer technician by day, digital artist, programing, and gaming at night... and insomnia to boot. I regularly spend between 10 to 20+ (yes really) hours a day staring at a computer screen. basically all day every day including weekends. I do not personally subscribe to all the blue light toxicity viewpoints, however I frankly see no handicap to taking an easy to implement precaution. So here is my breakdown of my experience of somewhere around 2-3 months of use: At first anyway, I did not notice these performing anything extraordinarily or life changing - please note I spend so much time in front of a screen anyway that I also have a built up a resilience to common screen fatigue issues. Now, after several months of consistent use, I feel that I do notice an increased likelihood of a headache when I do not use them for an extended period. So perhaps they will help if you suffer screen related eye fatigue which can lead to headaches and migraines. Personally, I still do not notice any benefit at night winding down before bed - but I have always suffered insomnia so that is nothing new. More important to me is simply the comfort. and I do find these comfortable. I wear them even when I don't need to at this point. The only negative comment I have here is that the nose pads are static... I believe you can bend the wire supports, but they will not float on your bridge, or have the level of adjustability of your standard pair of glasses. My pair fits the bridge of my nose without modification, and this is not an issue. I wear these for work, and for driving on sunny to overcast days. I do feel I see better without them if I am in dim light - such as sunset, dusk, and night - so they go off when I drive home. If I have lost them, they're probably in the car as a result. Personally, I find the weight and pressure on the bridge of the nose an aid to my mental focus. Quality: The design is punched from metal and snapped together without springs or screws... this is perhaps "cheap" in production costs, but more importantly it is in practicality high quality and durable. the arms are very flexible and resistant to damage. The lenses I believe are a fairly hard polymer - so not glass, but I wouldn't call them "plastic" the stuff is fairly hard and resistant to scratches. As a fashion accessory, if the price tag intimidates you, then they're not for you. However, I do not consider these a fashion accessory. I consider these "safety equipment", and safety equipment is something we hope we never need, but that we use anyway to prevent the *possibility* of injury. Safety Equipment should be of high quality to achieve it's function. I believe that these are exactly that. Again, I don't subscribe to the blue light toxicity viewpoint. If you do, then great! Bonus Points to the product. But lets talk about UV? I have seen cataracts and that kind of damage in friends and family around me, and my blue eyes are reportedly even more prone to that type of thing. A good pair of sunglasses is a good idea in general. These do function as well as a decent physical barrier. they sit close to the eye and provide decent coverage. they have already shielded my eyes from some flying debris (Please do not use in place of full safety goggles) so lets do a Pros and Cons. Pros: *Comfortable *The Gunnar "Amber" lens states they block 65%* of blue light. (this is a lens coating so improper cleaning may damage this feature so clean according to directions with approved optical cleaning products) *More important, blocks 99%* of UV light - some postings claim 100% but lets round down. (also a lens coating) *The potential to protect your eyes, with little potential to cause them harm. *As far as a good pair of sunglasses go... I would say they are worth the money compared to others in the quality market. not to be compared to $5-$15 checkout stand sunglasses. (*from Gunner's website: 65 BLPF means that the lens blocks a minimum of 65% of incoming blue light (from 380 to 450nm) and 99% of UV Light.) Cons: *Pricey *Limited Adjustability *Rather Costly *You may get made fun of for buying into the blue light thing by some of your peers. *They are surprisingly expensive Conclusion: If you spend a lot of time in front of a screen, I'd bite the bullet and give them a try... I got mine on sale and it still hurt, but In the end I feel they have earned their cost. *unrelated note for Digital Artists of all skill levels. These are after all tinted lenses... this means they will alter your color perception. so in order to maintain color accuracy you'll want to take them off in environments where color counts, where people need to see your work as you intend them to see it... also, calibrate your monitors from time to time, Okay? Do it for me?

They stay on well and don't even feel like I am wearing glasses. I bought another pair of their's that look like Ray Bans but these ones are far better! I get headaches from use of TV, Computer, and fake light and these have taken that away! Could not be happier with this purchase

I never understood gaming glasses until I bought a pair. They reduce the glare and even seem to have a slight magnification to them. If you play games for extended periods of time, I would recommend getting a pair.

Got them for my son for Christmas. Found on the floor with both arms detached, and because of the great design, they went right back together. Screens look good and still no scratches to date...

This was the only option for protective glasses they had; however I like them a lot. They fit well, do the job, are stylish and come with a sweet carrying case.

They block blue light, but at times have given me a headache. Not sure if it is these or just due to my eyes not adjusting to them.

I have bad eyesight and getting adjusted to these has been interesting. I love how they fit and am hopeful they will help with my restless eyes over time.

THis have helped so much. No more glare or headaches. They are lightweight and actual out perform my prescription gasses with blue light filters

When I get hooked on a game I tend to lose track of time and play for hours at a time. These glasses make it far more comfortable. The screen looks better, my eyes are more relaxed, just an overall better gaming experience. The only thing I would warn is that after long enough the slight magnification takes some getting used to when it's gone. For this reason I also wish I had gone with a bigger lens, to get a more all over coverage. If I look out the side at all it's a little disorienting.

These are excellent glasses to wear while using digital products and Computers and tablets. Very clear vision and clarity of subject matter on the screen plus extremely light while usuing one hardly feels that one is wearing them. Well made professional product and will bring relief to the eyes for extended use. Highly recommend for all heavy duty users to prevent headaches and prolonged eye strain.

light weight, no distortion, my eyes feels less tired after computer usage

I love these! Most computers have blue light filters on them now but these feel better than those. They also slightly zoom in on the computer and make think more visible. I been using them about a year now. I never use my computer out tablet without them!

I left my regular pair at home and needed a backup pair for work. Working with at least six monitors in front of me for 12 hours a day is very taxing on the eyes, but not when I have these Gunnar glasses with me. It really does what they say they do, and my eyes are ever-so-grateful.
