These glasses work. If you use a computer, smartphone or LCD/LED TV, a must have
By Red Lightning on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014
These glasses work! They remove some of the blue light reaching your eyes so LCD displays appear much crisper and easier to see. This results in less fatigue. The test is easy, look at your computer or LCD/LED TV without the glasses and then with them on. The difference is simply amazing. If you catch yourself thinking the displays are not as clear as when you first turn it on, these glasses will solve that problem. They are fashionable enough to wear around the office or just about anywhere without looking geekish. I got both these and the sunglasses in the same frame. They fit really good and can be adjusted if you need it. I recommend these glasses to anyone that uses computer or has to look at LCD/LED screen for extended periods of time. The work great when watching movies as well and the picture appears warmer. I don't game but nevertheless found these glasses to be very effective. Even when reading paperwork or books, the text appears crisper and easier to read.

Extremely disappointing product, you WANT to be pleased - but it's just a big let down.
By Leonardo Daniels on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014
Let me just start off by saying I work on my computer, making graphics on Photoshop, editing on Sony Vegas and After Effects and entertaining, podcasting, livestreaming - a lot of face time, game time and computer time. It can be a pain in the butt and it can kill your eyes to the tenth degree. I was hopeful for these, I've never worn or needed glasses and always had perfect 20/20 (Gunnar states they're great for people with 20/20 to just slip on and it immediately improves your 'visual' experience in front of a screen/gaming). SUMMARY: The pros are obvious but not outstanding. Wearing glasses amplify your vision to some extent. Yes, the yellow/darkish tint improves general computer use. A lot of webpages with white backgrounds (like Amazon) look nicer with a slightly darker background, the blacks pop a bit more on words and it just makes for a better experience. Gaming is... Eh, so-so. Not really worth $69.99-$89.99. I've gone to my settings and messed with contrasts, brightness and other options and experience similar results. So, they don't really do much in that perspective. I think the big factor here, is most of us realize: "Hey, I spent like $100 on Magic Gaming Glasses. Heck yeah they help!" in a desperate attempt to not feel like we wasted money, but realistically, I would be happy gaming with those $100 in my bank account - because, these glasses just don't cut it.This is also by no means, the frugal man in me speaking. I'm typing on a $140 Razer keyboard, with a $80 Razer mouse and my machine build ran me up $1.5k. So, I don't mind spending on things I feel are worth it - these glasses, just, seem too 'meh.' DESIGN: Well, I've had my pair for about a week, a respectable time to acclimate myself with them but enough time to return them to Amazon. Let me start by saying that these pieces actually look nice and the advertised band function, fitting nicely with a headset is true. My older brother wears glasses and I tried them on once randomly while wearing Astro A40s, it just doesn't work. So thumbs up to the people at Gunnar for getting that right. Everything else leaves a pretty sour experience and a lot to be hoped for. I will repeat though: I like them, they're nice looking. As others have noted, they do feel a bit flimsy, I'm not going to lie. I'm also not going to exaggerate, they don't feel like Dollar Store glasses or anything, don't get me wrong, but when I was cleaning one of the lenses I felt it move. I think some people thought these would be metal or something. CLEANING ISSUES: These glasses, are borderline impossible to clean. And due to the fact that you use them to look at a screen, either a monitor or TV (24" Asus in my case) any tiny smudge, stain or fingerprint on the lens gets picked up by your peripheral vision and just doesn't let you view your screen comfortably. I went to go make some coffee and the smudge makes no difference when you're anywhere else, but when you're at your desk or office, looking at your monitor the smudges and stains... Words can't describe how much they disturb your vision. So that's one thing I wasn't expecting and I'm sure many of you didn't, but it becomes a huge issue. I was cleaning them with eyeglass cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth, no progress made. The care section on the one piece of media they include in the box says you need cleaning solution made for iAMP technology. For the price of these glasses, they should include AT LEAST a microfiber cloth and some cleaning solution.
