The WEEZER creates an unobstructed landscape view with broad coverage and ample viewing area. Highly wrapped frames create an optimal micro-climate and ultra-light stainless steel frames boost the comfort level in any high amplitude scenario. 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: | |

 Nice glasses horrible priceDec 12, 2009
I myself do not own these (but will soon as a christmas gift) but I used a brother-in-laws for a few hours and I really do think they helped. I'll post a longer and more detailed one after christmas, however I had to post this quick. Go to Gunnar Optiks site and check them out. Prices are $20-$50 less, and you can get free shipping if you look around.
 Work GreatJul 09, 2009
I am in front of a computer no less then 8 hours a day. I was suffering from sever eyestrain to the point where I couldn't get through the day without popping an Advil or repeatedly walking away from the computer. I bought these glasses unsure of how they were going to work because of the extremely mixed reviews. However, to my surprise, they completely got rid of my eyestrain; NO MORE EYESTRAIN. These glasses are excellent, I could spend the entire day in front of the computer in comfort. Now I just need to stop slouching...
I highly recommend these am about to buy another pair. If I forget to bring these to work, I struggle. Don't leave home without them!
 Not worth the price.May 14, 2009
The lenses on these glasses scratched so easily. I'm a glasses wearer and have had an anti-reflective coating with a scratch resistant coating on all of my glasses for the past 5 years (probably 6 pair). I've never scratched a lens within the typical one year warranty period of my prescription glasses. The GUNNAR i-Fi(tm) lens coatings are supposed to be scratch resistant, but the lenses still scratched even though I only used lens cloth intended for use on AR lenses. I contacted Gunnar and they said, "If you feel that the scratch impairs your vision and you would like the lens replaced, we can replace the lens for 25% of the retail price."
The frames are light and comfortable enough that you don't notice that you're wearing them, but I didn't notice much of a difference with the clarity of text on my computer nor a reduction in eyestrain. All things considered, I don't feel that these glasses are worth the premium that you have to pay especially considering the poor support that Gunnar offers for their product. These glasses cost nearly as much as my prescription glasses even though they are not custom made, so I would expect a similar warranty, however this is not the case. These glasses may help some in the way described, but be aware of what to expect from Gunnar if you do purchase them.
