When you first put these glasses on you may be like me and be underwhelmed by what you see, I'm not sure where I got the idea but I thought it would be an instant fix to eye strain. But wait awhile longer and you will actually feel your eyes relaxing, and you even forget you have them on at times. Then when you do take them off you will instantly notice all the light they have been blocking out.

I have a hard time staring at a screen for any amount of time now without these on, especially during coding sessions. I would recommend these to anyone who spends any length of time on a computer during the day, the longer you wear them the better they will feel!

I heard about Gunnar Optiks through Patrick Norton who was pushing them on Revision3. He really likes them and I was unaware that this type of technology was really going to work. When looking at a back-lit LCD screen for several hours at a time, my eyes get tired and strained and can even lead to a headache. This is typically from a monitor screen, but mobile phones, tablets and even the TV only exacerbate the issue. When I received these (and I chose the Pipeline model due to its lack of a bottom frame, as I want to see as much as possible), I tried them. What hit me right away was how much they brightened my view. This surprised me and frankly got some getting used to. Where these become effective is when I am viewing a monitor screen for more than 3 straight hours. If I am wearing the Gunnar's, my eyes don't get tired and strained, even after hours of continued use in front of a monitor. Needless to say, I am really impressed with these and how well they work.
