I've been using similar glasses from another brand that were flimsy, hurt to wear, and had sharp edges that tore up the side of my headset. These glasses are much sturdier and rounded off. They don't hurt my head or my headset, and they feel good to wear with a headset on. I think my last glasses did a slightly better job of reducing eye-strain but the difference is negligible.

Makes a difference
I notice wearing these after a long day of work looking at the computer screen, I don’t feel as fatigued. Definitely helps with eye strain.

Must have for gamers
I got a new gaming laptop and the lighting and graphics on it were so intense that it was killing my eyes and making it impossible to play, I just kept getting headaches and eye pain. I ended up buying these and it helped SO much with getting used to the new laptop so that my games were actually playable. 10/10 totally recommend buying this, do your eyes a favor!

They Work
As someone who spends 12+ looking at computer screens, these glasses work. They help me in preventing headaches cause by looking at monitors and tv's all day. I also utilize them during R&R outside of work while using cellphone or laptop. Would definitely buy again.

Great but kind of small
These glasses are great but if you have a big head like me they tend to hurt after a while and leave a dent on the sides of my head if I wear them for a long period of time, which I work on my computer and play a lot of video games so I do tend to get headaches if I game right after work and have kept the glasses on for a while. Like I said, they are great, the flaw is just more of a fitting issue, but I have tried SEVERAL blue light glasses and Gunnar blocks the blue light the best by far, hoping they make a bigger size or "stretchy" ones soon, and if they already have them I need a pair but I don't think they do. Just be aware if you have a big head, that's all.

Helps but too small
I'm on a PC for about 12hrs a day and these do seem to help with eye strain, but run small. I have a rather large head(7 5/8 hat size) and they're very snug to the point of irritating with prolonged use. They'll do for now until I can find something equivalent and larger.

Stopped this designer’s ocular migraines
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.

Can cause Presbyopia (the need for reading glasses)
As a man in my 40s I was expecting things to get burry when reading any year now. Presbyopia (Reading glasses) comes to us all eventually. There’s Gunnar glasses come with +1 magnification which means the little muscles in your eye don’t need to works so hard. However when muscles don’t work they get weak. Because of this weakness I noticed a serious deterioration of my reading eye sight during the couple of months I used these. Being at the age where presbyopia is due to kick in I need to keep my eye muscles strong they need to work hard to pull my cornea as it stiffens with age. I believe the +1 magnification of these glasses is a recipe for accelerated presbyopia. I recovered from my experience by working hard to restrenthen the muscles my focusing up close on things. But I will never put them on again. I need to keep my eye muscles strong for as long as I can to delay presbyopia. Gunnar glasses do too much of the work for you and your eyes get weaker. You’ll end up with reading glasses before your time. Don’t do it.

Good but not good enough
This glasses I would love if they weren’t as such magnets for all kind, dust, touch, actually you don’t need touching the glass just come closer and you need to clean them the glare is unbelievable bad especially at night. The lenses are made of plastic probably why is a magnet The only thing I like about this pair of glasses is the slightly magnification they have If you got lots patience and more patience on top they aren’t bad But if you after a normal pair of blue light filter glasses they do it as any other pair in the market even for a tenth of the price I’m sorry but that’s my thoughts I have 3 pairs of gaming glasses This one from Gunnar another from Duco And another for £5pounds no name, they all feel the same to me I have done some research on this and specialist saying that they all do the same job no matter the price I’m still using them, I simply would like a pair anti glare, anti blue light, and with a slight of magnification

the actual reason why you feel that you're seeing better could be more the magnification than the blue light ...
The glasses actually work. There's a video that you can find on YT where an optician analysed them, and actually found out that they have a very slight magnification (like +0.25 per eye), although they are advertised as non-prescription glasses. So, the actual reason why you feel that you're seeing better could be more the magnification than the blue light filter. But, as an avid f.lux user, I have to say that the blue light filter works. They have an antireflective coating as well. Why am I not putting five stars then? Well, the lens are plastic, and it's a bit difficult to clean them as your skin oil just sticks to the lenses. :) I don't know why, it's just more difficult than with other glasses. You need a cleansing liquid. Even with that, I would easily recommend those against the cheaper glasses of unknown brands that you can find around.

Good quality glasses but not very comfortable
The glasses itself looks nice and the build quality is nice too (nice hinges). The title of these glasses that are advertised on Amazon need to be changed though, as it DOES NOT come with silicone padding for comfortability. Because of this the glasses do feel a bit harsh on the top part of my nose and I keep having to re-adjust a lot. The glasses have a nice tint to them that is easily adaptable, they do what they claim to do which is to remove eye strain and prevent dry eyes. I do like the slight zoom these glasses have, it some-what improves clarity. I'd only recommend this to someone that doesn't have a massive head, and spend 7+ hours p/day in-front of blue light screens like phones/ tablets and laptops or are already experiencing the effects of eye strain from computers.
