Gunnar Optiks - Gimmick or Game changer?

[Harry.c.]

Hi,

These are not like anti-glare filters that you get on glasses. Glasses that protect against blue light are different to the anti-glare glass. However, you can add blue light protection to your prescription as well as the anti-glare.
I got some anti blue light glasses on the internet for £20. They are on groupon this week for about £5. They are good if you get headaches from screens, most games give me a headache if I play on them for too long.

I have been wearing the Gunnars for about three weeks and they have reduced eye tiredness and dryness. Also the yellow tint to reduce the high intensity blue light becomes un-noticeable after 30 seconds and helps see things due to the constraint.

If anyone is still unsure about Gunnar Glasses and you're going to Insomnia I65 - we will have Gunnar Glasses on our stand so please feel free to give them a try!

I wear them every time at home now.

Reviews by staff members are pretty much useless imho (no disrespect), as it's only ever going to be positive the majority of the time. After all, they want to sell them.

I think these are a little gimmicky and priced a little high.

I am finding the Gunnars difficult to clean as they are not glass.

if there like my duco's, the yellow tint shows grease and stuff very easily. i use eco-fused microfibre cloths and they work well. every once in a while they do need a wet clean (filtered water or zeiss or something lens cleaner), but that really doesnt take to long todo, just a minute or two.

Tried snake oil?

brilliant!! Because after owning a pair for while now I can honestly say that this is all just snake oil. The blue filter on your monitor does the same thing. And if it's a case that you find it easier to read stuff on the monitor using these then you actually need glasses as they come with a slight prescription. The 20-20-20 rule works better and saves you a ton of money. (every 20 minutes spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 foot away)

The 20-20-20 rule works better

I prefer the 7-7-7 method myself - Every 7 minutes spend 7 seconds tugging on the 7incher. I am now blind as a bat from said rule

either way these glasses are no good for you.

Could probably use said snake oil as a bit of lube though

Have been using these glasses a lot over the last few weeks and they have really helped with eye strain I get after hours in front of a PC each day...

Sadly they did nothing to resolve the head aches I get from reading the utter none sense often typed on these forums.... Oh well cant have it all ways!!!

Great product though!!!

Having borrowed a set from a mate who raves about them, I can confirm that it made absolutely zero difference to me.

Having said that I am a habitual 20/20/20er and my screen is set up to the right height and distance and calibrated as I can often spend stints of 24 hours or more due to my job.

I guess these just fill in the shortfall of incorrectly setup monitors.

Lens cleaning wipes to clean them and then dry/buff with the Cleaning cloth. I find that works for me
