I've had a pair of gunnar glasses for a few months and they really seem to get the job done. They make the colours warmer so they are easier to focus on (eyes focus on yellow light easiest due to living under the sun for so long) and stop my eyes from getting sore and tired (I've never had that happen while wearing them). They're also supposed to reduce glare and etc however my lair is perfectly darkened so I wouldn't know.

...if only I could remember to wear them every time I'm looking at a screen
They stop you from getting eye fatigue because they are layered with the natural chemical in your eye that reduces glare from light, it has nothing to do with "yellow light" especially since the light coming from the sun is white

Well then. Guess I can keep that Radiation emitting CRT monitor after all!
Well, a monitor that didn't emit radiation would be fairly useless.

Both my US Airforce Security force friends swear by these out on the field. These are people that shoot people for real.

Question is, do they make for better gaming? Maybe? Not worth the high price tag though I bet.

So just because:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2009/10/leveling-up-your-eyesight-with-gaming-glasses-ars-explores.ars

Both sites noticed that the glasses do, in fact, reduce eye strain and help make colors pop a bit more on your screens. The glasses aren't a joke, but whether they're worth a hundred bucks depends entirely on how much you like to spend like a drunken sailor.

These would've been a godsend when I was trying to play CoD4. I never finished it because it pretty much forced me to squint to see anything. I couldn't see properly for days after playing it for a few hours.

I don't give a crap about the other features, but if these can actually reduce eye strain, something I suffer from a lot as someone who works and plays on my PC all day every day, these would be well worth the money.

That's not actually that much for a pair of glasses, many are over £100 which is about $150. At least in the UK or maybe we have more expensive glasses but this seems like a bargain in terms of price

Prescription lenses are shaped glass, custom-ground to the individual. Gunnar, like most *sunglasses* manufacturers, just produces scratch-proof plastic.

And, of course, they've completely missed the majority of their target market, which wears prescription lenses/contacts.

I'd buy a pair if they looked like this:


Although that is for a completely different reason than what they advertised.

I for one will be purchasing this because of the wealth of scientific study that went into making sure this device works as intended!

...

Wait? There's no study? Not a single shred of scientific evidence? Not even a wikipedia page they made up?

Well screw them then. If they can't even make the effort to create fake wikipedia pages to try and defraud me, they don't deserve to steal my money.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a royal prince of Nigeria to give money to.

Good day, Sirs.

Totally. If they had that technology already, don't you think they'd have installed it in some of us that actually wear anti-glare glasses?
