\"\"<\/a>I\u2019ve been blind in my left eye since birth, so I\u2019m always looking for ways to take better care of my eyes and what vision I have left.\u00a0 Especially as I get older.\u00a0 We should all be like that, really, especially if you like playing video games and working on the computer.\u00a0 So much of the information that we take in is through a digital monitor, be it a phone, computer or TV.\u00a0 And looking at these devices too much can cause eye strain.\u00a0 Every year when I go to a show like PAX, I always see a booth for Gunnar Computer Eyewear. \u00a0They sell mostly glasses that help protect your eyes while on the computer or gaming. \u00a0I\u2019ve always been curious about their products, so I\u2019m so happy that I finally am able to try out a pair of glasses they sent me for review purposes.\u00a0 Click here and read on to find out more about the glasses Gunnar sells and how they work!<\/p>\n

Digital devices like phones, computer monitors, and TVs emit a light called \u201cBlue Light\u201d and staring at it too long can cause eye strain which can lead to other problems as well.\u00a0 Most of Gunnar\u2019s glasses have special amber tinted lenses that are supposed to help block most of that \u201cBlue Light,\u201d which helps you focus more on what\u2019s on screen and prevent eye strain.\u00a0 Gunnar sent me a pair to try out, and here\u2019s what they looks like.\u00a0 They come in a nice box and cloth bag as well.<\/p>\n

I have to say that, for the most part, the glasses work like they say they do.\u00a0 I certainly noticed that it was easier to focus on some things while playing games, and my eyes didn\u2019t feel as tired.\u00a0 Although I take frequent breaks from playing games, so I don\u2019t get that much eye strain anyway.\u00a0 Really the only main problem I had with the glasses is that the yellow tinge took a bit of getting used to.\u00a0 The price of most of their eyewear is also a bit high, but glasses are expensive and this is quality stuff.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in getting a pair of Gunnar eyewear for yourself, there are some things I\u2019d recommend doing.\u00a0 First of all, I\u2019d check with your eye doctor and see if they would be right for you.\u00a0 Gunnar has programs to work with prescription lenses, too, so I\u2019d look into that as well if you already wear glasses.\u00a0 Sometimes I wear reading glasses when using my cell phone and playing handheld games.\u00a0 I wish my Gunnar glasses had some magnification like reading glasses do.\u00a0 Or maybe they do have some and I just didn\u2019t see that on their Web site.\u00a0 Do be sure to go to the Gunnar site and read up on their products if you\u2019re interested in buying them.<\/p>\n

You can order all sorts of eyewear and sunglasses from the Gunnar site, but I recommend also checking out stores like GameStop and Best Buy, as they sell some Gunnar glasses there, too.\u00a0 Or you can check out their booth at shows like PAX.\u00a0 That way you can maybe try on different pairs and styles and see which ones you like best.\u00a0 I wish I could\u2019ve done that with the pair I got to review, as the lenses are a bit narrow and I would\u2019ve preferred a pair that would\u2019ve covered more of my field of vision when I\u2019m using an iPad and it\u2019s closer to my face.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I\u2019d definitely recommend checking them out.\u00a0 We should all be thankful for our eyesight because without it, you wouldn\u2019t be able to play video games or even read this review!\u00a0 So it\u2019s important to take care of our eyes as well.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be certainly keeping an eye out on Gunnar\u2019s products in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
