These glasses are comfortable fit, light and well built. I'm surprised it even fit comfortably on my big head. Even the case it came with was sturdy and nice looking. The glasses gets some time to get use to, but once you eyes have adjusted i think they work great.

I work 12 hour shifts and these glasses drastically reduce the eye strain I feel after these long days. I highly recommend Gunnar glasses for anyone who spends long periods of time in front of a computer or TV screen.

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 recently began having headaches and my eyes felt as though they have been 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!

I suffer of sensibility in me eyes when I am exposed to LCD, laptops displays, PC displays etc. My eyes suffer when I received the light from this objects. For these reason, I have headaches, my eyes cry and I feel pain in my eyes. I buy two or three kinds of glasses to protect my eyes from lights of displays, but this do not work well. This month, I buy the iAMPLens and I am surprised. This glasses are spectacular, they really work well,protect my eyes and pain in my eyes disappear. Today, I can work 12 to 16 hours at day in front of computers,but in the past this is impossible.

I think that this product is great. The color that you see when you use this glasses is yellow (it is better if it were transparent) , but if you suffer of the same symptoms in your eyes that my then it is not important.

Skeptical as to whether or not these actually worked a described. Much to my surprise, they relieved my headaches after long hours viewing backlit screens and mobile devices. Stylish too. Would recommend to others.

I use my glasses on a daily basis. Working as a Systems Administrator, I spend hours staring at a computer screen in a brightly light room, which causes me to have horrible headaches. I recommend these for anyone who uses the computer for long periods of time. One of my best purchases yet.

They work as advertised and did reduce my eyestrain, however they are not magical as some people seem to think, and they do take a few hours of getting used to but after that they were fantastic.

I've been skeptical about the claims made by people who say that these are the "miracle cure" for sore eyes caused by long hours in front of a monitor. I ordered these with the hopes that they would help my eyes and the doubts that come from any claims that seem to be much too good to be true. I am an avid gamer and I must say that the moment I put these on I immediately noticed a difference. My eyes that felt tense before seemed to relax upon focusing. I hopped into a game of Call of Duty: Black Ops and forgot I was wearing them. I noticed that my eyes were able to move without soreness and the yellow tint actually in no way hindered my vision or bothered me, nor did it take any time to acclimate myself to the coloration change. The slight magnification helped too. Colors look more saturated and images are sharper. My only complaint with this pair is that while wearing my Turtle Beach X31's I noticed some discomfort behind my head where the frames contour to your head. Some adjustment can alleviate this issue generally, but if you are an avid gamer who uses headphones, try buying the Gunnars that are specifically made for gaming. I went out and bought a pair of Gunnar Optiks Scope (SteelSeries) and they are on the way, but I kept my Phenoms for Starcraft 2. I will soon own two pairs of Gunnars and I could not be happier with my first pair other than the headphone issue, but these were not designed specifically for that usage.

If you spend more than twenty hours a week looking at a monitor of any sort, you should, for the sake of your eyes buy a pair of Gunnars to suit your needs.

i was skeptical when i bought them but see that they make a difference for the better. recommended.

I bought these to address my eyes drying daily out by 2PMish during the usual 9-6 grind. As of day 2, they're working as advertised. I'm not sure if it's all mental, but I don't feel the need to rub my eyes nearly as much during the last day too.

Anyway, the first 10 minutes to half hour with these glasses are kinda offsetting. First like other have said, they're tinted yellow. Not a big deal since I prefer amber sunglasses. The second is that it slightly magnifies your vision. This is the part that really took some time getting used to. This also skews the world when you take them off. Not really a huge issue since it's kind of like reading glasses, just for you know, for geeks.
