Gunnar Optiks was founded in 2007, specializing safety glasses that protect eyes from computer vision syndrome. GUNNAR is the only patented computer eyewear recommended by doctors to protect and enhance your vision. GUNNARS alleviate all common causes of digital eye strain and visual fatigue. The result - improved clarity, focus, and performance.
**Design and durability**
To be honest, I'm pretty impressed by the Gunnar glasses, I'm working in IT company, so I spend all day in front of my laptop.I have Near-sightedness disease - this is a condition of the eye where light focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina. This causes distant objects to be blurry while close objects appear normal, because of that I wear prescription glasses. I'm wearing them all day long (around 16h per day).So, I can categorize myself as heavy glass-user. Last year I bought my own pair of glasses from Gunnar Optiks, the model that I own is VINYL RX. The design is really modern with black frame and yellow tinted lenses.I was really impressed by the build quality of the frame. Gunner frame is made from Aluminum-magnesium and this makes this frame flexible and very durable.After a year of hard usage, my glasses are in perfect condition.
**Lens Technology**
Gunnar optics offer 3 types of lenses with will help you to reduce digital eye strain, will improve your eye comfort&focus and will protect your eyes.You can choose from Crystalline Lens, Amber Lens, Outdoor Lens. You can check Gunnar web-site for more details.
**Personal Feedback**
My personal opinion is that every geek should own pair of Gunnar glasses. I was amazed how these glasses affected my digital experience.The first thing that I notice was that the eye strain was reduced to a minimum. Yes, if you spend 10 hours non-stop in front of your laptop or PC there will be no cure, but I was really pleased with the overall feeling. Other very noticeable thing was the yellow tint, everything was much warmer and the blue light was really reduced.
I really love the amber filter it is so good.
The only problem I had till now is with the nose pad.These glasses are heavy and I had a hard time to adjust myself to these glasses. Yes, if you play with the nose pads you can make your glasses more comfortable, but still, the comfort level is not on a good level.I also noticed some problems when I'm wearing them outdoor and if the sun is too strong.I'm having a hard time, because everything is very bright, but this is normal they do not tend to be sunglasses.Lenses are finger-print resistant and they do not hold smudges.

The overall process of ordering and delivery was on a good level.I'm leaving in Bulgaria (EU) and there were no problems at all.I got my glasses 30 days after I order them ( this include production and shipping).
