GUNNAR Gaming Glasses - Intercept Onyx Amber Lens - Blue Light Blocking Relieve Dry Eye

About me: I wear soft contact lenses. I often spend more than ten hours at the computer in one day, and am prone to headaches. I am slightly prone to dry eyes. I got these glasses because I had frequent, severe eye strain-induced headaches. Sizing: I wear a woman's large hat. One-size-fits-all hats are invariably too small for me. These glasses fit me, but they'd be too tight if my head were any bigger. Smearing: Before I bought these, I read some reviews that said they smeared easily. I have found they smear exactly the same amount as my prescription glasses or sunglasses. Just have a cloth to wipe them off and maybe some spray, and you'll be fine. Case: These do not come with a hard case. I believe the company allows you to buy one, but I just bought a sunglasses case from TJ Maxx, which fits them perfectly. Quality: These are NOT cheap-feeling glasses. They are fairly sturdy, have a matte finish that doesn't get sweaty or sticky, and don't creak. I expect them to last for years. Functionality: When I wear these for long periods of time while using the computer, my headaches are reduced by at least 80%, especially those caused by eyestrain. Sometimes, I sit at my computer and forget to put them on until I realize I'm squinting (which I no idea I did!) and blinking to keep my eyes from drying out. Then I remember I have these, put them on, and -- immediately, I stop squinting and have less problems with dryness. They aren't magic -- staring at a screen for ten hours is never going to be good for you -- but they make an enormous difference. Price: I agonized over whether to get these because of the price. I figured I'd buy them and, if they didn't work, try to resell them. Well, they were worth the money, they really were. If I lost them, I would immediately buy another pair. Appearance: Yes, I do look dorky wearing them. You can't really see from the picture how silly they look. But the shape is clearly necessary for functionality, and you (and those around you) get used to it. Other uses: I've begun using these for watching television also, when my eyes are feeling bad. I find they help there, too.

Has reduced my headaches at work (work on the computer) and are sturdy build! Highly recommend, good investment and good quality for the price. Even comes in a bag for travel and wiping the lenses.

I have been using the Flux application for quite a while on all of my computers. I find it very helpful and it really helps me with headaches and falling asleep easier at night. Now, you may be wondering why I purchased the glasses if I liked Flux so much, and the reason is that I just notice Flux too much when watching sports, movies, etc on the computer at night. The Gunnar glasses have really helped me in this sense. I can now watch hockey games and can barely tell that I am looking through a yellowed lens. I typically wear the glasses all day, but some days I will not use them because I have some issues with the rear frame contacts rubbing my skull just behind my ears. Perhaps after a few months of use or as my hair grows out, this will go away. Another thing I wanted to note is that these are BIG. My head is by no means small, but these still look big on me. Here are my pros and cons for these Gunnars: Pros: -They do what they are supposed to... They ease eye strain which can help with many things. For me, it helps me get to bed easier after I have been working or playing on the computer for hours on end. It also helps prevent headaches if you have light sensitivity, which on occasion I do. -These are relatively cheap for this market of glasses (which admittedly is overpriced). -Great coverage of your eyes - you'd have to strain your eyes to look over the frames. I purchased this model because they seem to offer the greatest amount of coverage and somehow they are still the cheapest... Win - win, in my opinion. -Good styling and look. -Good fit (for me). They stay on your head well and don't slide off your nose, even when you have a small nose like myself. -Allows you more flexibility than just using the Flux application. You can now get the yellow/sepia effect even when watching TV or looking at non-PC/Phone screens. -Solid and sturdy construction. They are very solid and the lenses seem pretty durable. You don't have to worry about bending or breaking any of the nose contacts on these, as you would with the metal versions. Cons: -Get dirty very easily. Be prepared to clean these at least once a day. Often I find myself cleaning them two or three times a day. -Hard to clean. For some reason, no matter what I use or do to clean them, they still don't seem to get totally clean. They always seem to have streaks on them from the water I use to clean them. Perhaps there is a better solution... -Looks. I like the way they look, but I'm sure a lot of people do not. Let me know if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer them.

I went into this whole "blue light filtering" sales pitch as just that a gimmick-sales-pitch to placebo solution. But after much asking from my SO to try it I can say there must be some truth for it. I suffer from migraines and recently got a job staring at screens much of the day - needless to say I was itching for a solution. I ordered these to see if there was a difference and my-oh-my is it not a gimmick. These have made my eye strain practically null. Well worth every dime if you work around screens alot.

These work great and have helped my eyes

Good value for money. Comfortable Excellent shipping

I've owned a Gunnar MLG Phantom before and it really helps with eye stress when looking at monitors for a long period of time because my right eye was injured before, but the my problem with the Phantom was the lens being too small. And it does have a slight magnification that might not be for everyone but it helps with texts. Been using the Intercept for a few months and the lens is basically the same on my Phantom but much bigger and wider and doesn't look as " Gamery "? But it does still have a distinct difference from normal spectacles because of the amber tint, compared to my Phantom i would say this is way more suitable for me but one down side is that it might not feel comfortable with some headphones.

Son mis 2doss Gunnar., Excelentes lentes gamers, yo las utilizo para mi lap top y pantallas tv, y comparando con otras marcas, estos lentes realmente me funcionan bastante bien para que no se me canse la vista. Este modelo en particular si viene un poco justo, pero esperemos que se acomode sin problemas .

these are amazing. I wear them at work and at home now. it feels really hard to stare at the computer screen without them on now. this is coming from a person during a 8 hour shift in front of the computer would rub my eyes constantly all through out the day, and by the end of the day my eyes are so sore and burning all i want to do is sleep. and next morning i will wake up with read eyes and repeat the process. i brought these glasses as a last resort to find something that would help. 80 bux for something like this is definitely expensive. but my eye sight vs. 80 bux right? later i will buy another pair as my temple is to wide for this pair. the sizing in the photo is wrong. its 137mm frame width instead of 145mm and these do smudge like a mofo. lucky the IT department stock wipes =]

quality material is good but the effectiveness im not sure ..still hurts my eyes

lens are pretty good but frame is very weak and cheap . At first for couple of days my eye and head hurt but after sometime it goes away. expensive and frame might not last that long but it helped my eye
