Gunnar Optiks: Day 6 and Aftermath
Home : News : News Story

We try out the Gunnar Optiks glasses and give a day by day analysis


Day 6, which was Monday, as well as days 7 and 8 were spent mainly away from a computer, amazingly. The few times I went on any PC I did use the Gunnars, but it felt similar to day 5, where they were just uncomfortable on the nose. 

Now, after a few days of not wearing them or being on a computer, I found that it was bothersome to not wear them for 15 minutes. A fully white screen of checking emails and having IM chats open to make up for lost time decimated my eyes fairly quickly, and they screamed for protection.

Lo and behold, I put the Gunnar's on and all that went away in a matter of minutes. Sure, while wearing glasses my eyes get dry because I tend to leave them open for longer periods of time, but hey, at least they're not melting into my head.

The few days off proved a valuable point: the Gunnars are unnecessary for short periods, and even difficult for non-glasses wearers, but if you want any contrast or real imagery from that monitor, these are the best solution on the market. 

So far, every single PR person and journalist I've spoken to not of Gunnar's office has said they were either interested in using them due to their long hours in front of a computer, or that their company has already begun handing them out. And it makes sense why.
