I have been using my Gunnars for about a month now. I was skeptical whether they would actually help--I work in front of a computer for 6-8 hours a day most days, and at the end of the day, my eyes would throb. Now, I don't experience the eye strain and throbbing. I am now a devoted user. Thank you.

I stare at two computer screens for about 10-12 hours a day, six days a week during tax season... I was starting to get blurry vision and bad headaches from staring at the computer for that long. I had an eye exam to see if my vision was getting bad, but the doctor said I had perfect vision. I then did some research on "digital eye strain" and found these. I usually use them half way through the day, when I feel my eyes are starting to strain to look at the screens. My headaches are gone, no more blurry vision when I drive home from work, and I find they help me work longer hours... These things are lifesavers... They are not the most stylish, because of the yellow tint, but I don't really care, as long as they get me through the day!

Pros
-Perfect for sitting in front of TVs/monitors
-reduce eye strain
-affordable
-Not as nerdy in looks as it is in purpose

Con
-must use with screens directly in front of you, there's a bit of a disorientation effect when looking around a room (while keeping head in same position)
-Feels like they might break easily, but I don't plan on putting that to the test.

I did not expect these glasses to really perform as advertised. I work behind a computer monitor every day for at least 9 hours and usually spend more than that. I would frequently get headaches and would get blurry vision from eye strain. After purchasing and wearing these glasses for one day, I could tell the difference. I was able to go all day without a headache and no blurry vision at the end of the day.

I now wear these when working behind the computer and for playing video games to avoid the headaches and blurred vision. I was quite skeptical that these would actually work, but I'm a believer now.

I bought these because I work with industrial controls. I thought that they would really help with my eyestrain. However, when I stop looking at a screen and walk around I become very disorientated. This causes me a different kind of headache. The box is very high quality.

The frames to me seem a bit cheap. I own mostly sunglasses, and these seem to me to be thin sheet metal. You can easily bend/crimp them.

Very light and comfortable. After hours of computer I didn't feel my eyes so tired and the end of the day.

These glasses work great, slight magnification to reduce strain, lens color cuts glare great, and so comfortable I walk off and forget I'm wearing them. However, I don't recommend for those that use eyeglasses.

Finally after using this Gunnar lenses, my headaches are gone. Working with a LED display produced in me headaches and eyes tired but finally I'm fine. Although I still have to low a little the bright of my monitor.

At first I thought this product was over priced even through amazon. When I received the glasses, I was surprised to see that they have high quality frames. The packaging was impressive. The company makes sure you get your glasses in the condition that they sell it. When I use the glasses during the day at work, I don't have anymore headaches and there is no eye strain. Beware, for those that don't need to use prescription lenses, these glasses may leave you a bit disoriented and may even give you a headache. I use a light prescription to read, drive and for computer use so this is not an issue for me. Over all, I think this is one of the best investments I've made in a while.

I use them all the time now when I'm on the computer. They are made sturdy enough to withstand an occasional drop or mishandling. They make using my computer more enjoyable with less eye strain.
