I'm very interested on this lenses.

But I've got some questions:

-I wear glasses due to miopy and astigmatism. Is there a way I can combine both Gunnar glasses and my regular ones?
-How do they exactly work? The amber lenses look like contrast enhancing military glasses, but... What are they in reality?


Thanks!

Interesting, I use glasses with a special coat to protect my eyes from some sort of rays that come from the screen, it looks that these have the same thing, I might consider buying this because my glasses are 5 years old and the lenses are all scratched. Do you sell these in United States?

Says these are 20/20 compatible. May be a silly question, but i have 20/13 vision, no glasses. These aren't gonna jack my perception up are they?

Your perception on life is already jacked, not much more anything else could do to it tongue.gif

I might pick up a pair of these, I stare at a monitor for 8-15 hours a day.

I just ordered a pair and it arrived in Afghanistan in 6 days, so far so good they make everything much clearer. I will update everyone how they are after 18 hours looking at the screen.

Thanks NG. tongue.gif

That was a serious question though... I kinda like having fighter jet vision, y'know?! It shouldn't do anything if they're 20/20 optimized, they don't magnify or shrink, what you see is what you see, but still wanna ask before I drop $100 on glasses. tongue.gif

Another question: What If I buy a pair, and hate the frames? Can I exchange them without paying an arm and a leg in shipping? They'd be non prescription.
