Gunnar Intercept Onyx Gaming Glasses Amber Lens

I work all hours of the day and night as a paramedic. Sometimes I am awake close to 24 hours straight due to running calls and typing reports. While these do not fix sleep deprivation, they have greatly helped with digital eye strain and headaches from computer screens and harsh white LED lighting. They also work during patient care as droplet eye protection and don't fog too badly when wearing a surgical mask. The yellow tint of the "amber" lenses is not overly noticeable. When wearing these, light is more warm and soft instead of cool and harsh. I have found myself wearing them even when not on a screen just for the nice effect of the blue light blocking. I have included a photo, but the camera isn't as accurate as I'd like. Gunnar's website states they have +0.2 magnification. The magnification isn't obvious to me, but I have noticed less eye strain. They also do not noticeably affect focus of objects at various distances. These glasses fit well, are lightweight, and are comfortable. I will probably upgrade to a more expensive pair from the same brand eventually solely for subjective styling. I love the lens quality, but the thick frames of this model are not my favorite style. There are a wide variety of styles from Gunnar here on Amazon and on the Gunnar's website, both more and less expensive. These glasses come with a cloth bag and no case, but some more premium models from Gunnar include cases. I have worn these for gaming also. They don't affect color too much, and they work as advertised. I HIGHY recommend Gunnar gaming glasses for first responders and others who work hours using computers in harsh and/or low light. Gunnar, maybe consider adding a first responder discount using ID dot ME and/or GovX. Not sponsored. (Please do, lol.)

About me: I wear soft contact lenses. I often spend more than ten hours at the computer in one day, and am prone to headaches. I am slightly prone to dry eyes. I got these glasses because I had frequent, severe eye strain-induced headaches. Sizing: I wear a woman's large hat. One-size-fits-all hats are invariably too small for me. These glasses fit me, but they'd be too tight if my head were any bigger. Smearing: Before I bought these, I read some reviews that said they smeared easily. I have found they smear exactly the same amount as my prescription glasses or sunglasses. Just have a cloth to wipe them off and maybe some spray, and you'll be fine. Case: These do not come with a hard case. I believe the company allows you to buy one, but I just bought a sunglasses case from TJ Maxx, which fits them perfectly. Quality: These are NOT cheap-feeling glasses. They are fairly sturdy, have a matte finish that doesn't get sweaty or sticky, and don't creak. I expect them to last for years. Functionality: When I wear these for long periods of time while using the computer, my headaches are reduced by at least 80%, especially those caused by eyestrain. Sometimes, I sit at my computer and forget to put them on until I realize I'm squinting (which I no idea I did!) and blinking to keep my eyes from drying out. Then I remember I have these, put them on, and -- immediately, I stop squinting and have less problems with dryness. They aren't magic -- staring at a screen for ten hours is never going to be good for you -- but they make an enormous difference. Price: I agonized over whether to get these because of the price. I figured I'd buy them and, if they didn't work, try to resell them. Well, they were worth the money, they really were. If I lost them, I would immediately buy another pair. Appearance: Yes, I do look dorky wearing them. You can't really see from the picture how silly they look. But the shape is clearly necessary for functionality, and you (and those around you) get used to it. Other uses: I've begun using these for watching television also, when my eyes are feeling bad. I find they help there, too.

Gunnar gaming glasses work well for my office use, I am now using this for more then a month. Before to this glasses I have strained eyes and feel heavy in my head. used multiple eyedrops and anti reflection glasses but his one is really work great. I will suggest every one to use one of these if you are working in front of computer all day. I even use this glass after office while watching TV. Pro: -Stylish, light weight , help to reduce eye strain remarkably. I would give 5/5. Con: -it attract dust and dirt like a magnet, you end of cleaning it all time, I finally bought a lens cleaner. I don't face this issue with my Rayban. -There is no spring in the frame, it will give you strain in your ears. some time very annoying. its pain full after all day wearing this glass. for comfort 3/5. Frame is decent.

I am a web developer and designer. I also run a small creative agency. After work, it’s not uncommon to have screen time once the kids are in bed. Needless to say, I look at screens for too many hours per day. Before owning these glasses, I used to get ocular migraines (not a headache but would have bright spots from bright lights that wouldn’t disappear from my vision). I’d have to lay down and close my eyes for 15-30 minutes until the spots in my vision would go away and I could continue working. That changed when I got these glasses. I never have once gotten an ocular migraine wearing them. I now wear them even when I’m watching TV. Looking at a screen is like staring at a flashlight. It can’t be good for our eyes. Thankfully glasses like these help mitigate the effects. Comparing to other brands I have used the cheap brand and also the more expensive versions (i.e. Swannies) that are orange blockers, etc. The lesser versions work decently but just not as well as these. The Swannies work as well but they severely tint the screen and change the colors of everything. The Gunnars are good at both. Durability I have now bought 4 or 5 pairs of these over about as many years because they have kept breaking, BUT it’s important to note that the reason mine have broken is largely do to me having 4 small children who love to rough house with their daddy. Even when I’m holding them in my arms as babies, they will grab the glasses off my face (contorting them in the process). I also sat on one pair (oops!). All these things considered, along with their price point, and I would say the glasses are very durable for what you pay. I mean to say that, they may be a bit less durable than a fancy pair of glasses that cost hundreds of dollars but probably not by much. They are obviously plastic but they are not flimsy and as long as you are not wrestling with them and are exercising proper glasses care (taking them on and off with both hands), these will probably last a very, very long time. In my case, I’m glad it doesn’t break the bank to get a replacement pair when my kids break them. Overall, I am grateful for these glasses and have recommended them to many people.

I went into this whole "blue light filtering" sales pitch as just that a gimmick-sales-pitch to placebo solution. But after much asking from my SO to try it I can say there must be some truth for it. I suffer from migraines and recently got a job staring at screens much of the day - needless to say I was itching for a solution. I ordered these to see if there was a difference and my-oh-my is it not a gimmick. These have made my eye strain practically null. Well worth every dime if you work around screens alot.

I noticed a difference in eyestrain when I bought these 3 months ago, but I was weary that I was experiencing a placebo effect. Today was first day not wearing them at work (I forgot them at home) and I can now say with certainty that these work. Right now my eyes feel dried up and strained. It hurts to keep them open and focused on my screen. I need my computer glasses. Just an FYI, I installed f.lux (a computer program that some people say does the same thing as computer glasses) first this this morning, and it's no substitute for computer glasses. My eyes are very strained. People who think they are expensive must not have purchased eyeglasses in the past, or even sunglasses for that matter. $50-60 isn't expensive for the quality. I do agree with people who say it feels like the lenses might pop out, but so far this has never been an issue. The main thing I notice about these frames is that they are very comfortable and study feeling. It is annoying how the lenses fog up and smudge easily, but I'm not going to dock this product because I assume this is a consequence of the humidity they create around your eyes. Since you're only expected to use these while seated in front of your computer, it's convenient to keep a microfiber cloth on your desk. My brother decided to buy these after trying mine, but while shopping found a cheaper alternative brand (Gamma Ray). He asked what I think of those. I told him he'd probably be happy with either, but my recommendation was for the Gunnar's because of the comfort. I can't stress how comfortable these are. I enjoy wearing them, and even more so because of the reduced eye-strain. This is for sure a 5-star product.

It took me awhile to leave a review for these, because for awhile I wasn't sure I was even going to keep them. The lenses are great, and definitely work as advertised. The slight magnification took a couple days for my eyes to adjust to, as I don't normally wear glasses. During this adjustment period, I did experience what felt like some eye strain and mild headaches, but once my eyes adjusted to them, it feels very comfortable to look through these lenses. The biggest reason I need to subtract two stars from this review is because of the comfort, or lack thereof, of the frames. While I appreciate that the materials have some weight, thickness, and feel of a high quality, this also makes them much less comfortable to wear for long periods of time - at least at first. This aspect took me much longer to adjust to - maybe 2-3 weeks even. It initially felt like the frames dug into my ears, and actually caused me some pain. The nose bridge also felt like it was digging in at times, causing some discomfort. Perhaps if the earpieces/sides of the frames were more straight, instead of curved, and less thick/heavy, it wouldn't dig into the head and ears so much. The matte frames also tend to collect a lot of oils from your hair/skin which might bother some people. Comparing to the ~$20 ANRRI glasses on Amazon, which I also tried, those glasses are much more comfortable and lightweight, but also lack the build/lens quality of these glasses, so there is a tradeoff. Ultimately, I wear these glasses pretty often. Once you get over the long, and sometimes frustrating/painful adjustment period, they actually are really nice, and work as intended. For the price though, that adjustment period shouldn't be there. You should be able to wear them and instantly feel the comfort, because that's their main purpose. Whenever I wear my pair of Neff sunglasses, I often wish these Gunnar frames felt like that.

I wanted Gunnar Optiks because I spend 8 hrs + at a computer for work, and then go home to game. Changing my screen options and contrast colors were just giving me the results I wanted. After comparing prices, reviews, and product descriptions of other glasses, I chose these over products like them simply because of the positive reviews as well as the name brand. I have a few friends who've bought Gunnar Optiks products and they adamantly recommend them. I officially love them too! These glasses have not only reduced my eye strain from computer work, but I've noticed that I sleep so much better after I wear them. Everybody at my work loves them and agrees that they're a huge help to the eyes. Plus, they look cool. I'm not a glasses type person. I'm extremely picky when I buy sunglasses, and I love the way these look on my face. Product Description: These Gunnar Optiks Intercept glasses came in a white, cloth-type bag for cleaning and storing purposes. The bag got dirty within the first day of use, so be mindful of where you put it. My dog decided to eat the bag anyway, so I pitched it and bought a simple glasses-cleaning cloth. These plastic rim glasses have a yellow tint with a slight magnification that is noticeable when you first put them on. The lenses of the glasses are extremely easy to smudge, however they are pretty scratch resistant (Knock On Wood!). I have dropped these glasses on multiple surfaces like concrete, wood, and carpet. I have also accidentally left them in my car in 80 degree weather. So far, so good. These glasses are pretty tough. The lenses are big enough to wear over smaller, square wire-frames so if you have glasses for vision you can still wear these over them. My boyfriend does so when he steals these to wear while playing xbox. A good buy for the price I paid! Conclusion: Definitely worth the money.

I've owned a Gunnar MLG Phantom before and it really helps with eye stress when looking at monitors for a long period of time because my right eye was injured before, but the my problem with the Phantom was the lens being too small. And it does have a slight magnification that might not be for everyone but it helps with texts. Been using the Intercept for a few months and the lens is basically the same on my Phantom but much bigger and wider and doesn't look as " Gamery "? But it does still have a distinct difference from normal spectacles because of the amber tint, compared to my Phantom i would say this is way more suitable for me but one down side is that it might not feel comfortable with some headphones.

Son mis 2doss Gunnar., Excelentes lentes gamers, yo las utilizo para mi lap top y pantallas tv, y comparando con otras marcas, estos lentes realmente me funcionan bastante bien para que no se me canse la vista. Este modelo en particular si viene un poco justo, pero esperemos que se acomode sin problemas .

these are amazing. I wear them at work and at home now. it feels really hard to stare at the computer screen without them on now. this is coming from a person during a 8 hour shift in front of the computer would rub my eyes constantly all through out the day, and by the end of the day my eyes are so sore and burning all i want to do is sleep. and next morning i will wake up with read eyes and repeat the process. i brought these glasses as a last resort to find something that would help. 80 bux for something like this is definitely expensive. but my eye sight vs. 80 bux right? later i will buy another pair as my temple is to wide for this pair. the sizing in the photo is wrong. its 137mm frame width instead of 145mm and these do smudge like a mofo. lucky the IT department stock wipes =]

quality material is good but the effectiveness im not sure ..still hurts my eyes

lens are pretty good but frame is very weak and cheap . At first for couple of days my eye and head hurt but after sometime it goes away. expensive and frame might not last that long but it helped my eye
