Color: Onyx

Manufacturer Description

Your eyes are tired...staring at a computer for hours and hours takes its toll. The common solutions for handling eyestrain require you to modify your work habits or take numerous breaks throughout the day. They're all patchy fixes that pull you away from your work. So take your choice...digital eye fatigue or less productivity.

There is a better technology driven solution that works with and enhances properties of the human eye. Gunnar digital eyewear increases visual performance, prevents Digital Eye Fatigue (DEF) and protects against full-blown Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). It all begins with i-AMP lens technology -- an optical platform that incorporates proprietary lens materials, lens tints, lens coatings, and lens geometry. Gunnar digital performance eyewear is engineered for an immediate and profound visual advantage and now even the most demanding computer users are more productive and more effective for longer periods of time. Gunnar Digital Performance Eyewear -- the must have digital performance equipment for your digital lifestyle.

Attache Phenom
Subtle style meets high performance in the Attache collection. The Phenom design features a frame made of lightweight Mg-Al alloy treated to a rich anodized finish. And treat yourself to added comfort with adjustable nose pads and resilient spring hinges -- perfect for people who need to put on and remove their glasses frequently.

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.

Product Description

Finished to exacting specifications and machine polished with high velocity micro particulates, the engineering behind PHENOM is only outdone by one thing... its artistic style. Micro-engineered lenslocks add both flexibility and flair. An exercise in creative contrast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comfortable and eases long stretches of computer use, March 6, 2009

I just got these glasses this morning and I've been using them for about five hours. I debated whether to give these four or five stars, in large part because I don't have anything to compare these against (other than my naked eye).

The first thing you will notice is the way they warm up the screen. I use a 24" LCD that has a fluorescent backlight (Samsung SyncMaster 245T 24" LCD Monitor) and the difference is best described as going from a fluorescent light to an incandescent.

The glasses have a yellow tint, but once I wore them for a few minutes and compared the glasses/no-glasses view, the no-glasses view felt cold and harsh.

Second, they are light. As a non-glasses-wearing type, I worried a bit about how they would feel, but they are fine.

Third, they fit snugly, but not tightly. This is a total bonus, since your face is probably different than mine.

Finally, a comment about the price. I paid $99 through Amazon. It felt a bit expensive, but I rationalized it as such: I stare at a computer about 12 hours a day during the week and about 5 hours a day during the weekend. This is about 3600 hours a year staring at a screen. If they last me a year, I will have paid 2.75 cents per hour of use.

was having bad headaches by midmorning almost every day. went to the doctor and he checked me and said my eyes were fine but wanted to sell me some $600 glasses even though i was technically 20/20, but the girl at the front desk is a freind of my girlfriend and told me I should check these out. i bought them online and can say they are perfect for what i need. from the first time i put them on, i was sold. instant difference. no more mid-morning headaches...in fact I'm back to normal and do full day's work plus go home and get back on personal email etc in the eve. dont know if they work for everybody, but they are pefect for me and i saved huge $$$.

I work as a Graphic Artist and my days are filled with long hours of looking at the computer screen. I have good vision, but had begun to have trouble focusing near to far quickly. I also began having headaches and my eyes felt as though they were straining.
I ordered these based on a review from gizmodo and I do not regret it. The difference is immediate. I felt my eyes relax and my screen looked clearer. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the lenses give the screen a bit of yellow tint. However, this does not bother me for I no longer have the headaches and/or eyestrain. I would give it 4.5 stars because of the yellow tint, but rounded up to five for default. :)
Make sure to read the instructions, they are NOT to be used as sunglasses or while driving!

It's been a month and I'm used to the yellow tint. These glasses are great! I'm considering buying a second pair for home!
