Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very happy!

If you are a gamer and spend a long time in front of the monitor and tend to get headaches and eye fatigue i would absolutely look into these glasses.

Very light weight, fit extremely well and no discomfort while wearing my head set what so ever. I noticed a difference as soon as i put them on and started using them. I dont squint near as often when i read on my second monitor or my main. Gaming...

Takes a bit to get used to looking away from the screen. When looking down at the key board it takes a few seconds to adjust ; Other than that these things are amazing

just what I needed

I'm a graphic designer and a gamer at night. I was getting discouraged because of the bad reviews about how "yellowish" the graphics turn. It's a lie!! The difference is subtle, and you eyes and brain adjust to it. I edit in CMYK and RGB, and I can...

Lightweight, flexible, nice protective case, and they actually work

They have a brown frame, i hate brown

They work

The magnification is not much at all. I guess I do notice it while walking, but then again you're not supposed to wear them except for while viewing the computer screen.

First and foremost, they work. I read some complaints about these glasses not working and was hesitant. I develop websites and stare at a computer all day long. I started getting headaches on almost a daily basis. It's been 5 days and no more headaches...

They didn't come with the nice bag I've seen on some youtube reviews. It was just a clear plastic case

Absolutely Great

While the price on these may be a drawback to many people, they are well worth it to me. I have found these to provide immediate relief to my eyes. I enjoy these so much, I might possibly look into the Outdoor series from Gunnar.

I noticed a difference almost immediately. I work with computers for 12hrs per day. The eye strain relief is absolutely amazing. There is such a huge reduction in glare and eye strain that I have recommended them to many of my friends and family...

The only downside I have found with these glasses is the hinges seem to be a bit flimsy, but could be attributed to the fact that they're so light. It could also be attributed to the fact that they're not the typical spring/screw hinge on most glasses
