Review on GUNNAR Gaming Glasses - Block 65% Blue Light - FPS Razer Edition - Onyx with Amber Tint: Enhanced Eye Protection for Gamers by Travis Karren

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Skeptical but now a believer

So I was initially unsure about the quality of these glasses based on other reviews that claimed they were flimsy and cheap. In my experience all Gunnar Optics have "cheap" frames. The frames are actually well built and hold the lenses in place, but the "arms" or temples of the glasses are flimsy (still strong, but I can see others would call them cheap). In fact, this is done on purpose and is not a design flaw. This is done so that the glasses sit more comfortably under the earcups of the headset, without forcing them to put pressure on the head and without causing discomfort over time. In fact, this is what most eyeglass wearers understand to be a major concern for both headsets and glasses that you will be using on a PC for an extended period of time. These glasses made a good impression on me and really help with eye fatigue over time. I work in an IT specialist and without these glasses my eyes start to burn, water, itch and in just a few hours (mainly in allergy season) my head starts to hurt. With these glasses, that's no longer a problem. The "blue light" is blocked, so the image is expected to be a bit washed out, but it's worth it.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Expensive
