I think they are great if you get sore eyes and eye fatigue when on the computer or gaming. I have been using mine for a few years. Quite the nice investment

I always feel tired after gaming for a few hours, and my wife always talks about my eyes being red after. I may have to invest in a pair.

I have been wanting to try a pair out. Im just worried the lense color will throw off the colors on my screen. Best buy had a crappy display that made me kinda think that. My biggest issue is that since I wear contacts my eyes tend to dry, i think im blinking a lot less when gaming than web browsing. Whether its contacts or glasses, long periods sometimes cause me to loose sharpness till I blink a few times also, I guess Im a perfect canditate? These sure arent cheap though to TEST out for myself

I know what I want for my birthday.

Edit: What's the difference between the Amber and Crystalline lenses? I found a link here explaining it but it doesn't say much.

Any benefits?

Would really like to know the difference too. No yellow lens is pretty obvious but is there anything else?

Seems to me like the amber/yellow lense is best for that in your face colors that are boarder line not real? And the Crystalline seem to be more neutral and deliver true color?
