Before I get into day 2 of my Gunnar Optiks testing, a brief addition for day 1, which I didn't close out properly because the day didn't officially end when I wrote it up.

Normally, once I leave my home office and either go exercise or go to bed or whatever, I take a short walk for some fresh air. You know, after a long session of just sitting still, moving nothing but my fingers and eyes. As soon as I stepped outside, I noticed my eyes weren't tired, stressed or bothering me. I had slightly clearer vision as well. 

Most importantly, I didn't feel tired to the point where I wanted to just close my eyes. They were beaming, and I was ready to stare into whatever abyss lay in wait. It was a very comforting feeling.

Day 2 wasn't super eventful, mainly because I'd been running around half the day and away from the computer the other half. This, of course, is when I realized a slight problem with the glasses: taking them off and putting them back on. While on day 1 I remembered to put them on every time I sat down, I had some long sessions, so it wasn't a problem. On day 2, I was jumping between five different things and it became a hassle to deal with the glasses.

I ended up forgetting to put them on a few times, leaving them in random places around the office because I didn't want to wear them on my head while away from the PC, and for 10-15 minute bursts of computer use, it's not worth it to wear the Gunnars.

Which, of course, not what they're made for. They're made to be used over long periods of time. The longest I sat in front of a single screen was my TV, working on my gaming rig, installing hardware and drivers for an hour while flipping back and forth between Goldeneye and Law and Order.

That reminds me, are these also made for use with TV's and other light-projecting screens? I don't think people with cellphones or iPhones especially will have any use for the Gunnars, but I wondered whether I should use them while watching TV.

It should be noted that using the glasses while just looking out at the world, as in outside, is not pleasant. I don't know what it is just yet, but when I do I'll let you know.

Finally, I ended day 2's testing with some time on STALKER: Clear Sky (yes, review incoming) and was somewhat disappointed. The colors are dulled out pretty significantly because of the Gunnars, which was expected. They give everything a tungsten haze, which suffice to say is not good for anything that isn't Gears of War or is just muddled with different shades of brown.

Check back later for Day 3!
