Gunnar Premium Gaming Glasses

Buenos materiales, no se cansa la vista de estar varias horas frente a la pc. No lloran ni arden los ojos. Se ven mejor los colores

Stylish pair of glasses that help minimize eye strain. Before these glasses I would have red blood shot eyes from looking at a computer all day. Now I never look at a computer screen without wearing these. Only complaint is that the side arms are a bit thick to use with a headset, so don’t recommend using headphones that sit on your ears with them

First let’s review the most important purpose of these glasses, eye-strain relief.

I’m a software engineer who works at a computer 8 hours a day and I used to always get that sand in the eye, have to squint feeling throughout the day. Depending on how tired I was, it could be worse. For whatever reason, something in these glasses work. The very subtle magnification, the glare removal, and/or the light filtering must help my eyes. I’ve even talked to an ophthalmologist about these and he couldn’t give me an explanation why. However, he did mention that people with blue eyes can be more sensitive to light. Maybe wearing sunglasses would have provided the same relief, but I didn’t see that as an option in a professional environment. For the record, I have perfect vision; I don’t need reading glasses and I can even read those tiny little letters on the eye exam chart.

Bottom line is, they do, in fact, reduce eye strain for me. Whether it’s placebo or science, I don’t care, they work.

Now, for the other aspects of the glasses:

1. The style. In my opinion, these are the best styled Gunnar glasses. I have three pairs. Intercept, SheaDog, and Vayper. These SheaDog versions are the most normal looking for a work environment. Other than the yellow tint, people at work don’t even mention these. The intercept version, on the other hand, were more noticeable. They’re big and blocky, and people will easily notice that. If this is something you care about, the SheaDog are easily the most professional looking pair.
2. The fit. They are very comfortable, I don’t notice that I’m wearing them, the nose support doesn’t hurt, and they are extremely light and don’t fall off. That’s all you need.
3. FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T NORMALLY WEAR GLASSES!: I have never worn glasses in my life besides sun glasses. When I first put these on, the thin rim was extremely dis orienting and obnoxious. You can ALWAYS see the rim and it was the most annoying thing when I first put them on. I almost returned them right then and there. I actually bought the Vayper version in an emergency since they have bigger rims height wise. I had a business trip coming up in two days and needed a pair other than the funky Intercept version. HOWEVER, I decided to give the SheaDogs a shot. The good news is, after I wore them for a few hours, I got more used to the rim. I suspect after more time, I will no longer notice the rim. I asked some people who wear glasses 24/7 and they have said the same thing about getting new glasses with different lens sizes. Getting used to the rim in a different spot can take days or weeks to get used to, even for normal glasses users. My point is, don’t let this alarm you and give them a good week before you decide you can’t stand it. To this point, if you don’t care about style at all, the Intercept versions have the biggest lens, yet worst style, the Vayper are middle of the road with medium style and decent sized lens. The SheaDogs are super slim, yet are super stylish. If you can get used to it, the SheaDogs are the best. I wear the Vaypers at home and the SheaDogs at work.
4. Price. Yes, they’re expensive. But, they are super light and are easily the most stylish version of computer glasses out there. If price is a problem, you can get them used from Amazon, something I would recommend. I got a used pair and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. Maybe the box was more dented, but whatever.
