Review on GUNNAR Gaming and Computer Glasses: Riot, Onyx, and Amber Tint - Blocking 65% Blue Light for Enhanced Performance by Quinton Wonsley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stylish frames and Like's halo effect are missing! courting!

Update 2 years later! I still throw them away sometimes, but have switched to non-magnifying glasses. Too much magnification gives me a headache. I definitely recommend only using them while you're sitting in front of what you're working on. I've found that the more I wear them, the more concerned I am about gaining weight. I will say that magnification becomes more useful when I spend hours reading something on my phone (manga, tutorials, technical pdfs, etc.). I've noticed halos when wearing them outside (blah), but they're much less noticeable when sitting in front of the device. For reference, my alternative glasses I bought cost $20 on the "lens" website. They're sharp, have no magnification, and are 10,000,000 times easier to clean than these types. If I had to give one reason I don't wear them that often, it's because they're so terrible they need a proper cleaning, and I don't feel like paying for a proprietary lens cleaner just to get them dirty afterwards make long session. . My computer. It's a messy, frustrating mess, even with clean specialty cleaning wipes. THANK YOU SO MUCH! No ghosting with this frame. I have previously purchased Gunnar Optiks Enigma liquid lens computer glasses - they block blue light, are glare free, minimize digital eye strain, Onyx (ENI-00109), and halos were everywhere. After a while they could no longer be worn. Frame: very light, enjoy the fact that they are not too heavy on my face. - noticed that the left glass creaks a bit, as if it's not properly seated in the frame. Everything is fine on the right side (can be repurchased and returned). Sit away from my face (need 1000x less brushing). I love the design choices with them, they look amazing! Lenses: Liquet is still perfect for my lighting conditions (computer running in a fairly dark environment with a dual monitor setup) when using mostly dark themed apps. NO PICTURES (for me) - If you're struggling with ghosting in another product (see above), give these guys a shot. They really did their job and unfortunately in the case of the Liquet it seems to be directly related to where you look through the lenses. There is no official information on Liquet and Ghosting products (and I'm not sure if they want to publicize this as an issue) which means experimenting with different frames for the buyer. I've noticed that my reviews on the main Gunnar Optiks website have been deleted since I last looked at them. You spoke to Enigma about Liquet phantomization.

Pros
