These actually do a lot of good for your eyes!

Let me start by saying that I used to be very skeptical - until I actually tried these. I went in for an eye appointment and found out I had a very severe chronic dry eye (they almost mis-diagnosed me for needing prescription strength glasses until they put in a couple of drops and realized what was really going on). After all the testing, my eyes were really dilated. I tried to work through it, but I couldn't see anything on my computer screen - just a blur! So, I started walking around to pass the time. That's when a co-worker, finding my super dilated pupils entertaining, sat me down to take some pictures. In boredem, I tried on his Gunnars and kid me not - I felt like I could see clearer. I was a bit taken aback, but even when I looked at a computer screen, I could actually see. For the longest time, I had the impression that these were no better than tinted lenses. Since, I've tried wearing them more consistently and have found my eyes less irritated at the end of the day. :) I would highly recommend some form of Gunnars if you are on your PC as much as I am (work + games). Bonus, these ones are red and cute! I love them!

Work as expected

I had an older pair of Gunnar's with a basic frame. I bought those to see if I actually benefited from them, since I stare at a PC screen all day long. They make a big difference with eyestrain. I was excited that this pair was the same price as my basic pair. I do notice that these magnify the image a little, which I never noticed with the older pair. It doesn't bother me, as it does some other reviewers. They are comfortable, and they look decent. Great value for the price.

Perfect for Computer Users/Gamers with Chronic Migraine

I am an online student/frequent casual gamer (not a pro) who has chronic migraine - the kind where I have an enhanced reaction to the harsh blue/bright white and flickering monitors/screens cause. The head pressure and eye fatigue is constant for me. I got these glasses because they claim to address this. Im so glad I did! Right out of the box they are delivering as advertised. They do not make everything "yellow" as some people claim. They simply take the harshness out of the tint and somehow ease the flickering most people do not notice. Some have said they are damaged on arrival. The way there are packaged, this should not happen unless they are haphazardly or carelessly handled. Either way, as I understand it you can exchange them if they are. Others talk of their being flimsy. The nose rests take a bit of pressure to adjust, so be slow and methodical with that. They are thin, and I can see how a lens could possibly pop out if not handled with care - don't go aggressively ripping them off your face because you got sniped in a round of Warzone on Halo or tossing them onto the table because you finished your online test and are soooo ready for a cold one. Treat them with respect for the not so cheap and serving-a-real-benficial-purpose glasses they are and they will repsect you. Get a case for them, use the right kind of wipe and method to clean them, and appreciate what they are providing: better health for your eyes, which if you dont appreciate now, you will when you are older. *I have included a photo of my television screen that have two bright white areas, one has the glasses over it so you can see the difference. I have rated items and given seller/packaging feedback before, however this is the first product review I have written for anything. I did because my migraine issues have been such an impediment and these glasses make such a difference to improve my quality of life in regard to electronic devices with screens. There truly is a difference in the sense of relief when I put them on versus the harshness when I don't. Oh a final note: I have a small frame face and these glasses do not cause the "fly eyes" effect I was worried about; they are not too big and look alright on me.

It really reduces the eye strain

About me: I look at my laptop atleast 10 hrs a day and play on my Xbox for 1 or 2 hrs. Issue that I had: Looking at laptop never been a trouble to my eyes. But, if I play xbox for 1 or more hrs, my eyes will bcome red, dry, tired and I almost stopped playing bcoz of that Pros: 1. It really reduces my eye strain. Even if I play for 3 or 4 hrs on weekends, the eyes are not strained. It really works 2. It's super stylish. I also wear this glasses at work. Everybody in my office said, it's really stylish and cool. It gives you the intelligent and geek look 3. It's really comfortable and light weight. You can wear it many hrs without any discomfort. Cons: 1. No hard case with this. It just comes with a cleaning cloth cover. So, you need to spend $10 more to buy a gunnar case (available in amazon) If you buy a Rayban for $80, it will comes with a case and this doesn't. 2. They don't have screws in frame. It's not actually a con but just a thing I like to have. If you accidently break the frame, you have to completely buy a new pair instead of replacing the frame Alternative: There are few other alternatives out there in the market if you don't want to spend $80. Other manufacture sell these glasses for $40. This is not a tricky technology or something. I am sure even the $40 glasses will do the same thing (might not look as stylish as this)

These Optiks allow me to work without adding a major strain to my eyes!

I used to get headaches from looking at computer screens all day! I work in an engineering office and stare at computer screens all day. I have been looking at acquiring these Optiks for quite sometime but thought they were silly. Knowing that they are made for gaming, and watching some YouTube videos, I figured to give them a try. Upon using them on the first day I received amazing results! Like I said, I used to get bad headaches from computer screens and floodlights from office spaces. I was at work for the entire day and didn't feel that pressure behind my eyes. These Optiks allow me to work without adding a major strain to my eyes!

Changed My Gaming Experience!

I can not say enough good things about these glasses! I already have two pairs of Gunnar's computer glasses - I love them and I think they work very well to reduce any eye fatigue that I have at work and at home from using the computers for long periods of time. I thought the computer glasses might work for my gaming as well, but I really disliked the computing glasses for gaming, which is why I tried these. The difference between these and the computer glasses for gaming is vast! These are lightweight, and seemingly less amber than the computer glasses. (The computing glasses don't appear amber when I'm using a computer, just in front of my large screen TV when I'm using the PS4.) I no longer have to pause the game to wipe away tears from my eyes, or blink excessively. Or take breaks due to eye fatigue! My gaming experience has improved immeasurably. I'm just sorry I didn't buy a pair of these sooner! I highly recommend these to anyone who games for hours on end.

A revolutionary product that you MUST try!!

These glasses are truly remarkable and have made a huge difference in the amount of eye strain from being in front of a computer for 10-16 hours a day. The only thing I wish they had is the option for polarized lens added to this lens. Then it would perfectly block the bright fluorescent lights above my desk and right in my eyes at work. Aside from that, these are the real deal. Definitely recommend to anyone using ANY type of monitor. This includes TV people!

Must-have equipment for the modern age!

The Gunnar glasses have literally saved my lively hood. I've work in civil engineering for the past 30 years. So my day is spent rotating between CAD, spreadsheets and word documents. Lots of "face time" with computer screens. Last year I began experiencing severe migraines. They were so bad that I was unable to sleep for days at a time. I was turning into a zombie (and becoming addicted to Excedrin Extreme). The more I worked, the worse it got. The worse it got, the harder it was for me to work. I felt like a concrete worker with a bad back, as I had an affliction that was uniquely disadvantageous to my vocation. My tech-savvy daughter suggested I try out her Gunnars. I was sceptical. But, after a week, the headaches had subsided. She then reclaimed her glasses. Shortly thereafter my headaches and inability to sleep returned. I was set to visit a neurologists and bracing for the "good news" such trips oft times result in. Given the circumstances, I figured dropping $70 on something that seemed to work was a reasonable investment, So I scored a pair of Gunnars. I have now been wearing them for the past six months and the only headache episode I have had was when I had left my glasses at home, and proceeded to work without them. Now, I absolutely will not work on a computer without my Gunnars. They have become mandatory equipment, much like eye-protection for someone doing arc-welding. Do I think Gunnars are "magical"? I don't know. Maybe strips of yellow cellophane-tape would work just as well. But it just would't look as stylish as the Gunnars do. As other reviewers have pointed out, they are lightly constructed. I find this to be a plus as I barely notice them when I have them on. However, I would recommend a carrying case to protect them. The only design issue for me is the arms on the Phantom style glasses are almost razor thin, which causes a noticeable pressure point where they rest on my ears. Still gets 5 Stars. Great product.

Fantastic!

These are fantastic!! After wearing both at home and in the office, my eyes are no longer tired half way through the day. It is truly amazing the difference they make. Rather than toting the one pair back and forth from home to office, I will be purchasing another pair. I have not used these with a headset yet, so I cannot comment on the ear pieces being uncomfortable when wearing them as several other reviewers have. As the tips of the ear piece do sit rather far back on my head, I don't believe it will be an issue for me. I have a small face and typically look for a "narrow fit" in sunglasses. These fit perfectly. The lenses provide ample coverage for looking at my 17", 23" & my 26" monitors. Yeah, I look at a lot of computers during the day :) The lenses do have a distinct yellow tint. This was not an issue. Got used to them within an hour. I highly recommend these!!

These are definitely like looking through glass

I bought these after my co-worker loaned me his Gunnar's of a different design. I basically bought the nicest looked pair that were cheapest. Prior to this I bought some knock-offs only to return them because they weren't optically clear. These are definitely like looking through glass. They really make you look like an uber-geek but who cares. They're great glasses and definitely make a big difference staring at computers all day long and coding. After wearing them for a few hours you'll take them off and go "woah, that hurts." I keep these on my desk and wear them with a hat to block the overhead light glare. Definitely recommended. Never scrimp on your vision.
