I have been using these glasses for a couple of weeks.The only drawback that i found is that you need to clean them like every day and that if you work for a lot
of hours you feel the skeleton weight but it hasn't annoyed me much. On the other hand i can say for sure that I see a difference with/without the glasses, it's not a placebo effect or anything like that. I have tried normal reading glasses before and although a lot of people including opticians on their reviews say they are the same, for me gunnar glasses worked better. I noticed that they help with the blinking rate as well, i noticed i blink more when i wear them and getting used to the yellow tint etc has been very easy for me .
If they make them to need less cleaning in the future i'd definitely buy a new model . I put 4 stars because i think there is always room for improvement, nevertheless i'm a satisfied camper.If you have headaches/dry eyes from computer usage get them, they will help.

I'm not sure if these work for other people, but they didn't' work for me. I spend about 20-30 hours a week looking at two LCD monitors and encounter eye strain about 3-4 hours into my work day. I was excited to try them out but noticed about 3 minutes into wearing them they actually increased my eye strain. I tried them for a week just in case they took some getting used to, unfortunately, that was not the case.
I really did want to like them, but I don't feel bad for sending them back. The frames are very, very flimsy. I think I have paper clips that are thicker. I read a few reviews saying the lenses smudged easy and they are right on the money. For $70+ you think they could have included a cloth.

These things are pretty awesome. At first I was verrrrry skeptical. Didn't see why spending a large chunk of money on "gaming glasses" was worth it. Even after the first week of use I was still on the fence. But after the first week I really noticed a difference. No more small headaches right behind my eyes after prolonged gaming, no more squinting and no more eye rubbing . Keep in mind I run a triple monitor set up with 23" monitors. I would also get sleepy after a little while at the computer (this was not because I was on all night or from a lack of sleep) but I no longer got that sleepy feeling after 30-45 minutes on the computer.
One complain I have is that it seems like these glasses are made for people with heads the size of grapefruits. While these are in no means tight or uncomfortable to wear, they do require you to bend the frame to go around your head a significant amount, which I'm pretty sure will eventually lead to them breaking. Although they are small they...Read more
