Efficient and aesthetic

The glasses are delivered in a nice cardboard box with instructions and a soft case to clean them. Very aesthetic, they fit perfectly on the face, they are light and easy to put on. The yellow colour may surprise a little but you get used to it very well. It should be noted that the glasses are magnifying, the screen appears larger and is therefore easier to read. Of course if you walk around your house with the glasses on your nose, everything is magnified! What I wanted above all was to be able to stay behind a screen for a long time without tiring my eyes, after a while my eyes would sting, and sometimes even feel like they were burning, which was very damaging. With these glasses, I feel much less tired and my eyes hardly sting anymore. When you get used to using them, the visual fatigue almost disappears. In conclusion, a very good purchase, effective, I systematically put them on when I am behind a screen. To buy with my eyes closed!

Too expensive for the features offered

I will give my opinion on these gunnars after several weeks of use. First of all, the blue light filtering part is impeccable and I use them quite often, especially in the evening and at night. Now let's move on to the negative points: The temples look cheap and very fragile, you have to be careful when handling the glasses, as if they were porcelain. There is no anti-reflective coating on the lenses, so daytime use is complicated and quite disappointing. The lenses scratch VERY easily. For a pair at this price, one would expect anti-scratch lenses with an anti-reflective filter... It's a shame about Gunnar. The glasses do their job at night, but for that price, you might as well keep your money and get a 30€ pair that won't have any difference with these Gunnar. I would add that the zoom effect is marketing bullshit.

Gives you a headache for the first 5 minutes and after 10 minutes of non-stop PC without any problem

Very pleasant and efficient

I use these glasses on a daily basis while I work. The blue reduction and slight zoom effectively relieves my eyes over time (I used to get regular headaches at the end of the day or week).
Very ergonomic, does not clutter up even when wearing a headset and does not get in the way even during prolonged use.
Handle with care, however: a little fragile aspect that is not too comforting at first, you almost feel like they could break if you squeeze them a little too hard (but so far, no damage to report after several months of use).

Light and efficient

I was a bit sceptical about the usefulness of "anti-facial glasses" but I bought them as a last resort to remedy the eye fatigue associated with my computer work. Well, I can see that it works quite well.
I no longer have watery eyes or a headache after long hours in front of the screen. In any case I can really feel the difference.
These glasses are rather light and hold up well. But after several hours the temples leave a slightly unpleasant sensation on the ears.
There is a slight magnifying effect which is surprising at first but it only takes a few minutes to get used to it.
After the price, the packaging is rather cheap and a storage case rather than a simple pocket would have been welcome.

Really protects the eyes

The goggles fit very well, the legs are thin and flexible.
If you're afraid of being bothered by the glasses if you play all day with a helmet, don't worry about it you don't even feel them.

very good

As I have a thin face, I needed light and adapted glasses. They are a little big, but they are still very comfortable and allow me (finally!) to work and play for hours without suffering from eye strain and migraines. I am fully satisfied. I had to return from Switzerland for another model, and LdLC was reactive and on time.

Great but, ..

I've been using them for a long time now, but I've never had a headache after being on the PC for too long. I've been using them for a while now, but I'm not sure if they're the right choice for me.

just received

I have just received the package, so I offer you my feelings (I don't wear glasses):
-I can see the lower edge of the lenses (to see if it is annoying in the Temp)
-No cleaning wipe for 80 Euros... I find it "vomitory"!
-Last point, I sometimes have the impression to have the reflection of my window behind me on my glasses, so it's quite strange, but well... I'll just have to close the shutters, hoping that the light of the room doesn't make reflection either :)
To conclude, some negative points, but it is for the good of the eyes.

gunnar glasses? it works!

I've been curious about these famous gamer goggles for some time, curious and even sceptical, but I took the plunge despite the price, which may seem prohibitive, and today, what I regret is not having bought them sooner.

I was operated of myopia and my eyes became more sensitive to the light, especially when there is no more ambient light, so the evening on my PC, as much to say that it ends up tearing my face, the eyes that sting, that cry, triggering migraines ... in short it's not joy.

I waited a week of intensive use of my glasses (about 6h-7h/day) before posting my opinion, but the first results were felt instantly:

- The screen suddenly becomes less violent for the eyes. No more stinging and crying eyes!

-The yellow filter brings a slight contrast, but it's not a joke to say that it increases the level of detail, the brain quickly rebalances and we forget this filter very quickly.

-The slight zoom is pleasant, I feel it and I appreciate it.

-Before, after an hour of concentration on the screen, my eyes had trouble focusing, and I could see quite blurred for a while (impossible to read on paper) and well it's over! my eyes force less and it is felt!

-Less "eye nervousness" if you go to bed directly after sitting at the computer, you go to bed more serene and you sleep better (yes, you do!).

Otherwise, the design is quite nice, but even if they are probably more robust than they seem, they are very fragile!

They reveal their potential especially at nightfall, in the middle of the day their effect is less convincing.

The lenses touch my eyebrows and eyelashes, and that's the drama, they get dirty very quickly!

The lenses touch my eyebrows and eyelashes, and they get dirty very quickly. And finally, I regret that at this price gunnar does not provide cases and cleaning wipes.

Absolutely fantastic

you use the screen intensively... don't hesitate a second... these glasses change your life (they are a bit large for my head)!
For office use, gaming, surfing: it's great.
Obviously, if you work in the image industry you will understand that attenuating the blues is not ideal when retouching photos or when calibrating a video. But really, they have become indispensable to me and I am wearing them as I write this review.

Excellent

I spend an average of 8 hours a day on my computer and after 3 to 4 hours my eyes hurt, but thanks to these glasses I don't hurt at all.
I highly recommend them.

It works!

Positive:
Design
Lightweight
Comfortable
The yellow glasses work (gaming or other...)

Negative:
"Fragile" to be handled with care
Yellow glasses get dirty quickly

I recommended it but be careful about the size of your head and the comfort of your helmet (if they compress you too much) so you don't get a headache

Nice but average

The delivery was, as usual, perfect.

As for the glasses, they seem fragile and, as they are not made to measure, are too small for my big head.
As a result, they are not very comfortable to wear, and the eyelashes that rub the lenses tend to dirty them.

After that, they are effective and even after several hours of play, my eyes are not more tired than that.
And you quickly get used to the yellow colour of the lenses.

Smart investment

GUNNAR glasses are designed to protect your eyes from screens, because they emit harmful light (such as ultraviolet light for the skin) which affects your vision over time. Burning sensation, stinging, headaches etc... for the immediate harmful effects.

It's simple, since I have them my time behind a screen has changed. (I spend a lot of time there)
When I leave them to do a couple of things or go out of my house, etc... I don't feel anything, as if I hadn't even been behind the screen.

Tip top

My SPF sessions usually lasted more than 3 hours, and my eyes were regularly very weakened (redness, stinging, etc.). After 3 weeks of (almost daily) use of the glasses, I noticed :
- My eyes are less weakened
- Contrast is actually improved (important for competitive FPS)
- The glasses can be worn very well for several hours (even with a helmet).

LDLC kindly provided me with a handy cleaning cloth.

Bought with the GUNNAR Eyewear Case, delivered on time. I am happy with this purchase.

Very good

The most important thing is that they do the job, I don't have my eyes anymore, I don't regret this purchase.
I've been hesitating with other models of the brand, take the granny look glasses, you'll be all alone at home and it will be better, here we see the underside of the glasses and it disturbs me a little. And even if this one looks more stylish, when you wear them, you see that not ^^

The temples hurt a bit after 5/6 hours of playing, so I might as well wear them only in the evening/night.

I thought it was a fake...

I bought these glasses I don't really remember why, but in game I put them on sometimes without seeing so much change as advertised, finally it's when I had a broken vein in my eye from being in front of a screen, so I couldn't even put my left eye in front of a screen (smartphone included) because of the pain that I put these glasses on to try.... I was able to spend as much time as I wanted in front of it as if nothing was wrong with my eye completely red but no pain (absolutely not recommended but at least it worked ^^)

Great!

Simply put, for someone who spends 8 hours straight on a PC, this is the best!

My eyes are no longer blown out, I go to bed with my head and eyes soothed, everything is perfect!

I recommend it only for people who spend a LOT of time on the computer!

Nothing to reproach to LDLC, perfect!

Effective, it's not a gadget!

For some time now I have been getting headaches and red eyes when I stay just 1 hour in front of the computer screen.

After several searches on the net I got to know these famous Gunnar.

Despite the high price and my skepticism about the effectiveness of the product, I took the plunge.

And well, there is no need to say it's great, after a whole afternoon playing on the screen, no more pain in the eyes or in the head !!!!

And I find their shape very fashionable ;-)

A must for my eyes!

I'm just past thirty and after all these years of geekery and farming my games, my eyes are starting to call me to order by making me understand that my screen is burning my retinas!

It started with migraines, then eye irritation and finally blurred vision as I got older.

I said to myself why not try it and frankly it's just a treat, you don't have that glare anymore and you feel less attacked by the image.

To do the test played for an hour, then you put on the glasses and it's like putting on wax, an instant relief.

Great product, thank you!

I never leave them

These glasses have become my most important accessory. As soon as I sit down at the PC, I put them on.

They are really effective. I'm less tired when I go to bed, and I don't have a headache anymore.

Beware: they are fragile!
