Flexible polymeric temples conform to a variety of face shapes. Featherweight and ultra-high definition, the BIT SURFER supports the i-AMP enabled lenses in a perfect wearable position. i-FI lens coatings: i-Fi lens coatings filter and protect. Our proprietary nano-filters help capture all of the good light coming from the computer screen while diffusing the bad reflective light and glare. The outer coating provides a protective layer that shields the lens from scratching, abrasion, and oxidation damage. fRACTYL lens geometry: Computer generated fRACTYL lens geometry mimics nature through advanced science and engineering. Aiding the natural focusing power of the cornea, our lens geometry eases eyestrain caused by near distance computer viewing. fRACTYL lens geometry uses independently curved front and back surfaces to provide unparalleled distortion-free optics. Fused with Gunnar frames, the tightly arced lenses form a personal ocular microclimate that prevents dry eyes. iONik lens tints: iONik lens tints take harsh artificial light and precisely tune it to match the anatomy of the eye. Our custom organic dye compounds condition and shift transmitted light into the preferred color spectrum, increasing visual contrast, detail and resolution. Edges of screen pixilated images read more easily and interfering blue light is reduced -- ultimately your eyes are less fatigued. diAMIX lens material: No existing lens material had all the properties we needed. So we gave our lab techs the task of developing the lightest, most optically pure lens material possible. Beating out polycarbonate on the toughness scale and rivaling the undisputed optics of ground glass, diAMIX is the next generation of lens materials for those that demand the highest optical qualities. | | | Features: | |

Great PC glassesSep 01, 2009 The PC glasses are great for using on the PC. I thought they may assist with eyestrain issues with gaming on my 52" lcd TV. For that application they actually made my eyes water up faster. I think it's probably because of the dark screen in most games and the fact that the screen is so big. But for using for hours upon hours in front of a smaller 22" Lcd hooked up to my PC while at work they work quite well. They don't look all the bad or geeky either.

Gunnar Optiks works really well for meJan 22, 2009 Though some people seems to dislike it (Your miles might vary), it works really well for me and I think it is definitely worth the try if you use computer regularly or if you experience eye strain when using computer. It doesn't take long for me to get used to with this (less than 5 minutes). I don't wear prescription glasses and I use computer at my work for 8+ hours a day. This glasses reduces glare and brightness while maintaining the same contrast and clarity of the text. I can feel less eye strain when I'm using this glasses. I haven't use this Gunnar optiks glasses at work yet but I have use it for several hours at home. I don't know the long term impact of using this glasses but I will try to update if I have any important update, and I will also research from time to time if other people have update on long term impact of using this product (especially if your eyes are already good to begin with). The price seems a bit steep (especially for the plasticy design but) but most other brand is also quite expensive too. Things seems to be more yellowish (yellow tinted) with this glasses but I'm used to it now after a couple of hours of usage. If color accuracy is critical for you (e.g. editing photos or some art/graphic design work etc), then you might want to try the ones that is not color tinted.
Pros:
1. Reduces eye strain
2. Reduces glare and brightness but maintain clarity and contrast
3. Lightweight
4. Basically, it works for me (but FWIW, I didn't have any issues before wearing this glasses either).
Cons:
1. Plasticy build (and I feel that it can break at any time if I accidentally press it too hard as the glass has no frame, for this particular model)
2. Expensive (but I guess you get what you paid for)
3. Not the best design (it might look good on you or it might not. try a couple other design or know which one that will fit you nicely before buying if possible)
4. YMMV (Didn't work for some people)
5. Yellow tinted (not very good if color accuracy is critical for you)
6. Not sure yet what the long term impact (if any) of using tihs product.
In conclusion, if you are using computer a lot, or already experiencing eye strain from using computer (watching the screen for many hours a day), this glasses should be able to help remediate those issues (though some people might not be compatible and feel dizzy wearing this glasses and I'm not sure why). I'd say it is worth the try.
Hope Gunnar Optiks glasses works for you too,
