GUNNAR - Premium Gaming and Computer Glasses - Blocks 65% Blue Light - Vayper, Onyx, Amber Tint

First I never write reviews or answer questions but I will for these glasses that is how much I love them. I have been looking at Gunnar's since they first appeared at an electronic store by me. I have a problem that I forget to blink when I'm concentrating. I have 20/10 vision so I have never had to wear glasses but I protect my eyes the best I can by wearing sunglasses when needed. So I finally did my research on these glasses that claimed they could help protect my eyes while on the computer I desided it was worth the pretty high price. So the review really starts here. When I first got these glasses I will say I wish they came with a hard case but I was happy that they came with a nice cloth sack that also works as a glasses cleaning cloth. Be ready with some good sissors and some band aids to get into the packaging but honestly these glasses are worth that little inconvenience. So ok we have the glasses open and out of their pouch so now what. They are heavy duty glasses with a comfortable nose piece. The lenses are kinda thick and offer some magnification. Now these are like neon yellow lenses so when you put them in everything looks yellow. If you play TF2 then imagin having jarate on you at all times. I thought I was going to hate the frames if these glasses since they have don't have typical ear pieces but I don't they are wonderful honestly I don't even notice the metal on my ears. Ok so really those are just the basic physical details of the glasses now how do I like to use them? I play tons of video games, at work I'm always in front of my computer, and my favorite thing to do when I'm not on my computer is to watch tv. At the end of the day my eyes are normally tired sore and itchy. I also normally go to bed with a pretty big headache. Since getting these glasses my eyes feel the same as when I start my day. I still get headaches but not as frequently or as severe. I ended up loving the yellow in almost all of my games. I say almost all because some games for me color is important like the sims. When I'm designing a pattern on the wall it want to know what color it is, but when I'm looking out for traps in a cave in skyrim or in a dark area shooting zombies in a fps these glasses improve the contrast so now I can see them better. I even wear these watching TV and at work, so I don't just use these for gaming. They really do remove the glare from the screen. When I take these glasses off while looking at my computer screen, the screen feel so bright and harsh to me now. What are a few things I don't really like about these glasses? I mean they can't be perfect right. Well they are pretty darn close. I personally would rather have the regular curved ear pieces that gunnar offers on some of their other glasses that aren't specifically for gaming. I know these are designed for use with a headset but I would really just like to see some of the gaming glasses have curved ear pieces. Now why do I feel so strongly about this? I am a very clumsy person and sometimes if I'm playing an online game with other people I can only take very quick breaks. Well the 2nd day I had these glasses I ran to the kitchen and pulled a glass out of the dishwasher and when I bent over these glasses slipped right off my face Onto the tile floor. One of the arm thingies flew off and I chipped and scratched the lenses. These can't really even be used with a glasses holder because there isn't much to hold onto. But still why do I love my broken scratched glasses? Well the arm just pops right back in! There are no pesky screws to break or have to find I couldn't fix the lens but honestly it didn't scratch as bad as I would have thought and I don't even see the scratch while I'm wearing them. The only other thing that I can really say I don't like about these glasses would be the magnification, but really I can't say that I hate it. It makes me dizzy to walk around in these glasses, but these aren't the outdoor glasses these are gaming glasses for use in front of your computer. I don't really notice the magnification while I am in front of the computer but as soon as I look away I really do. I'm not sure if this is one of the features that reduces eye strain but if it is then its worth it.3 I am very glad I bought these glasses, so glad in fact I have already bought another pair. I just yesterday ordered a pair of the haus glasses that have the ear pieces I want! although those are just the computer glasses and not specifically gaming glasses I think they will suit my needs. Why did I need two pairs? Well I like these glasses so much that I have one pair at my desk at all times and the haus glasses will be for me to take to work and my boyfriends house so I can play games in my gunnars everywhere! I hope this review helps someone else to make up their mind on these glasses because I wish I wouldn't have waited several years before finally just going for it.

To be fair, I did get them as a lightening deal for $60, but having used them now for about a month, I can honestly say they have made a huge difference. I don't use them for gaming, so I cannot comment on some of the claims--targeting better and such--but I CAN say that they have significantly reduced eye strain and fatigue from long hours looking at screens for my work. I am also getting fewer headaches, but there are too many variables affecting my headaches to say that is much more than a correlation. I do wish they fit slightly closer to my face, and I have tried adjusting the nose pads to accomplish this; however, this resulted in the glasses wanting to slide down more often, which I found more annoying than the distraction from looking down with my eyes rather than with my head. Keep them clean, and use the protective pouch when not wearing. They do attract smudges from who knows where like a magnet. This model is so light that I almost do not feel it at all. I do not wear glasses or contacts, but you can also get prescription lenses through their website. If your job has you looking at a screen 8+ hours a day, these are definitely worth your consideration. You can also check their website--they have MANY other models with a variety of styles.

I have been using these daily for a few weeks now, as I like to give a product a fair review after the "novelty" of a new toy has worn off, and give them a fair chance. They have helped with eye fatigue from staring at P.C. monitors all day long as my job and as a student. I didn't think the magnification would help me much, as I use a very high quality and high res 27 inch monitor most of the time, but it surprisingly helped with text on the screen as well. I am not sure if this is attributed to the magnification, or to the enhanced contrast of the slightly amber lens. I also used them a little bit for gaming, on Call of Duty, Diablo 3, and StarCraft 2, and they did help with the first two, but I don't really see any need for them on games like StarCraft where the contrasts and colors are already well defined and nothing really "hides in the shadows" or blends together. The lenses themselves seem like they are high quality lenses, and they do what they claim to do. The frames however seem a little flimsier than I prefer. I am going to assume that they are designed this way to keep them very lightweight, and to not interfere with a headset or headphones, and they have accomplished both of these goals as well by doing so. They are comfortable, and you tend to forget you have them on after awhile. When you take them off, be ready for things to seem a little blinding at first, as its going to be a bit of a shock to your eyes. Do I recommend? Yes, if you are staring at a computer monitor for long periods of time, and you have a problem with eye fatigue or headaches, these did help me quite a bit. For gamers, the small amount that I tested them in games, they worked well and helped the contrast of camo in dark situations and color schemes, and in Diablo 3, I didn't lose the cursor as much in the hordes while fighting. If you are using a "fast" monitor (with a TN panel), I'm sure they will help even more than they did on my IPS monitor. I dropped a star for the flimsiness, as they seem very delicate, and because there is no sense in a product coming in triple packaging.

I was skeptical about this purchase, but I decided to give it a shot. I'm a network engineer and I sit in front of a 34" ultra wide monitor all day. After work, I'm on my cell phone a lot, and watch a lot of hockey on TV. All of these things have slowly started to give me eye strain nearly every day. I have had trouble sleeping because of it for the past several months. I got these glasses today, and within just a few hours the difference that these glasses have made on my eyes is IMMENSE. I worked all day, watched a hockey game tonight, and have been on my phone watching YouTube. My eyes feel absolutely wonderful. They eye strain and constant mild headache that I have been suffering from is no more. I can vouch for these glasses ONE HUNDRED percent. I'm no longer skeptical, I am a total believer. My ONLY complaint is that I wish there were glasses for people that have a wider size head. I like look of these glasses, but I would kill if they were just a bit wider. I'm not going to fault these glasses for that though. A bigger selection of wider sizes from the manufacturer would be great. I only really wear them in the house (I work from home), so even if they don't look great on me, it doesn't matter. They have solved my eye strain issue, and that is all I really care about. HIGHLY recommend these!

I bought two of these glasses. One pair in April '19 and another in July '19. I hadn't used since prior to the pandemic and when I did they were fine. After pulling both pairs out today I noticed both of them the lenses are starting to crumble from the edges where the lenses meet the frame towards the nose piece. One pair was in hard case and one was in the microfiber slip that came with them. I like the style and they were fine before but don't expect them to last longer than a couple years before just literally falling apart.

These are amazing. My Office environment has extremely bright light and in conjunction with the glare from my dual monitors, these really reduce the harshness and glare

I work at the computer a lot and have been known to shop some covenant in Halo from time to time. I never full bought into the hype of these but after using for a while I can see there is a little less eye strain then normal. I mean if you change your display from brilliant or cool blue to more neutral tones you sort of get the same results. Also when playing a game like halo where its Red Vs Blue (yeah!) it does wash the colors out enough that you have a slight delay if only a few hundred milliseconds before determining good guy or bad guy. After a few games you get used to it. All in over priced because MLG over hyped these should sell $19.99 - $29.99 though not sure how high a quality the zeiss glass they use is. I mean Zeiss used to mean something to me for scope glass but then they went down hill.... And started making glass for video game sunglasses.

I bought one of these in 2015 when it was $60. The glasses have a special design, making them very durable. I dropped and stepped on my pair, with full weight, 4 times. Each time the arms detached, as they are designed to do for such instances, and I was easily able to put them back on. The glasses were still perfect. The 5th time I stepped on them, they finally warped and were crooked. They could still rest on my face, but were crooked. You can buy a $20 pair of glasses but if you drop them or step on them accidentally, that pair is gone. With the Gunnars, they were significantly more durable and that is the reason for the price tag. I recommend this brand.

J'ai eu des problèmes oculaires récemment, irritation, fatigue, yeux injectés de sang puis j'ai entendu parler des Gunnars notamment parce que je joue beaucoup a des jeux vidéos et dans l'esport beaucoup de joueurs pros ont une paire de Gunnars. J'ai donc commandé ma paire que j'ai reçu récemment et je peux dire que ça change la vie, je n'ai plus mal aux yeux, je ne cligne plus des yeux toutes les 5 secondes, je peux rester de longues heures sans ressentir une fatigue oculaire oppressante. Si comme moi vous jouez beaucoup ou au travail vous êtes sur un pc, et que vous avez les mêmes symptômes que moi alors cette paire est faite pour vous, de plus ce modèle est certes cher mais il est très léger, agréable et ne se sent absolument pas.

Los materiales son de calidad aunque no creo que sean tan robustos, por lo que hay que tratarlos con mucho cuidado. Los soportes para la nariz vienen como gomas y son muy cómodos. El color ambar no opaca mucho los demás colores, además, tienen ligero aumento que viene a ser muy útil cuando se trabaja con laptops.

die brille ist anfangs recht ungewohnt und neu fürs auge. wenn man die brille abnimmt dann zucken die augen direkt zusammen und es tut wirklich weh auf den monitor zu gucken. das gunnar vayper onyx schützt das auge und macht das spielen wirklich viel angenehmer. man fühlt richtig wie sich das auge erholt während man die brille trägt, es ist eine kleine wohltat, TOP

Very nice. very light and comfortable. yes a small magnification but hardly noticeable. Do help with eye strain. Amber tint helps as a night light setting program but these lenses are probably better at blocking harmful light. They do hold good to the head, however I'll probably get a rope to hold them on.

Muy buen producto, la primera sensacion es rara, si que es cierto que no se cansa la vista nada, a cambio de ello juegas en una gama de colores más limitada, aún con eso merece la pena.
