Integrated modular frame with sculpted metal hinges create the optimal ergonomics for long sessions in front of the screen. 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: | |

 These Glasses Are Amazing!Jun 04, 2010
Disregard the review of the person who was getting headaches from wearing these.... DUH, if your head is too fat to wear them and they are pressing against your temples of course you are going to have headaches! Also.... glare? I don't know what kind of screen this person has been looking at or if they are sitting next to a window with sun pooring in, but I haven't had glare problems.... I've been wearing these glasses for a few weeks and they are excellent. As people say, the yellow tint is weird to look through, EXCEPT when you look at a computer screen, then the tint just makes the screen smoother on the eyes. These glasses are great, no eyestrain or headaches when using the computer for 8 hrs+ a day.... They are incredible.
 A converted skepticApr 13, 2010
I was very skeptical about these at first and I had to return my first pair as the lenses had a lot of swirls mixed into the plastic. They were made in China, so I expect the very lowest bidder made my faulty pair!
I decided to try them again and ordered a replacement pair. I wasn't too happy about the yellow tint that they added to my vision, but it was soon evident that I had much less eyestrain than before. I have now been using them for over a month and I have not had any serious episodes of eyestrain, despite doing a considerable amount of close-up work at computers.
I am glad to say that I am now a converted skeptic and I am delighted that at last, I have a way to reduce the strain on my eyes and continue to do my work, without the added stress of aching eyes.
They work! mostly...Mar 18, 2010
When I saw these, I nearly jumped for joy. I work as a designer/developer and I spend long hours in front of the computer. I have been getting regular eye-strain headaches for about 2 years now after looking at the screen all day. I have had my eyes checked and I have received a set of reading glasses with a very slight prescription, but they honestly weren't helping. I decided to do a little test and I bought these to see if there was any difference.
First and most importantly, they work. The headaches have subsided. That's good news.
However, the downside is that now my eyes, while they seem to hurt less, look more bloodshot at the end of the day. I can't quite figure out why that is. No headaches, no achy eyes, but I look like I haven't slept in days after wearing them for work.
Besides that, they fit nicely. They're actually quite comfortable, and I don't do well with glasses in general, finding most to be uncomfortable.
One quirk: the yellow lenses. They don't bother me so much, and the yellow 'fuzzing' of colors doesn't affect much in my profession. But, the yellow creates a kind of brightness to everything that is sometimes hard to deal with depending on the surrounding lighting. For example, I used to work with my overhead desktop lamp which is fluorescent. With the glasses on, the light is way too bright and distracting, so now work in a slightly less lit area. The computer screen takes on a more harsh appearance as well. But I'm fine with that.
I just checked the site and Gunnar now has crystalline versions of the glasses, which I may try next.
comfort for your eyesDec 07, 2009
I recently had a lasik eye surgery, and my eyes are more sensitive to lights and get dry a lot faster for the first few months. This glasses was a savior. I'm a software engineer, and I work in front of my computer for at least 8-10 hours per day. This glasses helps me look at my computer screen longer without any irritation. It is amazing the difference in how my eyes feel after a couple days wearing these glasses.
At first, I thought it might feel awkward and uncomfortable to look through this yellow tinted glasses, but from the moment I wear this glasses, it is not awkward at all. It fact I find it eases the strain on my eyes.
The frames are light and it fits my head perfectly, I have no complains regarding the shape and frame of this glasses. The price is a tad expensive, however, for what it does for my eyes, I would invest in this glasses.
