interesting, how much do these lenses sell for? sold to non-prescription?

although clearly not the same wouldn't something like flux help reduce eye fatigue and strain? does anyone here use it or something similar?

subbed to thread as i may come back here if/when i decide to actually try out a pair.

[edit]

after reading this i may really buy a pair unfortunately they are available online only, so i cant actually try them out, anyways as i read the website of gunnar i also find myself questioning the differences between the gaming eye wear and computer eye wear, anyone care to tell me why i should get the gaming lenses over the computer lenses?

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.

I know, I just like messing with you any chance I get biggrin.gif

I want to the Best Buy near me and they only had one pair of the Call of Duty ones. IDK if that is Best Buys fault or Gunner's but I would like the option to try on the different models.

If you are not happy with the glasses, you can return them to gunnar within 30 days and they will refund you the money.

Now after purchasing the pair and using them at work, I will say this. Since I started using them at work, my eyes arent nearly as fatigued at the end of the day and dont leave work with a headache. I am hoping to win one of the give aways gunnar has on the forum so I can keep a pair and work and a pair in the office.

By the way, will these glasses work if you are a contact user? I find that contacts dry my eyes alot so If these glasses help retain moisture that would be great. Also do anyone have some eye drops they recommened for a contact wearer like me?

From what I read, the only difference is the way the frame fits on your head. the gaming ones allow you to wear headsets/headphones more easily.

Are you in the US? If you go to our retailer locator http://www.gunnars.com/retailers/, the search page will show the the nearest retailers that sell GUNNARS. We can't tell if any specific Best Buys have our eyewear in stock at any given point unfortunately, but they usually do!

I noticed there aren't any "wrap-around" lenses for those with glasses. Are there any frames or lenses made for those with prescription glasses in the works?
