Edit : I just used my larger cloth I use for cleaning my monitor and it did a much better job of cleaning the glasses than the white one that comes with the cleaning kit. The white one basically leaves streak marks whenever I clean it (material to thin maybe) but my larger one seemed to clean everything without leaving any marks.

Our glasses do tend to smudge and that's due to the anti-glare coating. We recommend micro fiber cleaning cloths or rinsing with light soap and water and air drying once in awhile.

If it is indeed foggy, then it would warrant a return from us. But hopefully we've quelled the issue!

Hey guys are there any prescription glasses without that yellowish/bluish tint? I'd like pair and I currently suffer from eye fatigue when starring at my screen and I don't really have a perfect vision either so it has to be Rx compatible.

I generally work at my PC for 3-4hrs and game for like 4-5hrs at nights with the lights turned off and everything dark besides the monitor. I figured I'd need the HD single vision and a fat frame, don't really like slim frames(feel they are flimsy tongue.gif). So is there any option with all the these fancy AMP technologies for reducing fatigue and correcting vision without the tint? I just want clear glasses, or it can be slight blue if there's no other choice.

Thanks in advance. smile.gif

I need to research and see if my vision plan would cover these, from what I see a lot of people are noticing good improvements. I'm at a computer 8+ hours a day, not so much eye "strain" (my headaches went away when I got the right perscription) but vision artifacts.

Hmmm..

If no ones mentioned it, which they probably have, there is a program called Flux which simulates light changes based on your coordinates.

Also there is a 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes look 20ft away (aka into the distance) for 20 seconds to make sure your lenses flex, as you can develop near sightedness from focusing only on close objects for too long.

These are so cool. I see that bestbuy offers these but I don't think I have ever seen them displayed there. Has anyone seen them at bestbuy?

I have mixed feeling with this gaming glasses. I tried using glasses before (even my transition lense prescription glasses) & having hard time adjusting to it. I don't have 20/20 vision but I prefer gaming without glasses.

They carry a couple of styles at my local best buy but they didn't have a display. Also the website is out of stock on quite a few styles. I would buy directly from Gunnar's site with the promo code, but you will have to pay shipping which is something Best Buy wasn't going to charge. Hint, hint Mr. Gunnar rep tongue.gif

We do have clear lenses - Crystalline, for people who need to design/see in true color. http://www.gunnars.com/shop/Crystalline-Computer-Lens-Option/

Unfortunately we only have Halogen in stock right now which isn't Rx compatible, but we will get more styles later in July and September. You can search other retailers like Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gunnar-Anime-Onyx-Crystalline/dp/B005JTVP9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341340983&sr=8-1&keywords=crystalline+gunnar Hope that helps!

I guess I'll have to wait redface.gif

My eyes can hold out for a few more months (if my vision plan even covers it)

Best Buys across the USA sell GUNNARS, but only certain ones have a display where you can try them on. You can view this list for places to try on, including some Best Buys and Fry's. https://foursquare.com/gunnaroptiks/list/gunnar-optiks-retail-locations--try-before-buying You should also keep a lookout on our socia media channels as we do go to events around the country as it makes sense (large conventions like PAX, CES, etc) for people to try them on.

And yes, some of our retailers have good deals on shipping; we offer free shipping for orders over $99. We do tend to offer better sales though. smile.gif
