Eyes, they are the windows of the soul as they say. And as it turns out, they are quite fragile. Everything from dirt and debris to The Mountain from Game of Thrones can cause massive and irreparable harm. Another threat to our eyes happens to be the glowing, almost indistinguishable blue light emitting from your screen. I can say that since my ears have become destroyed by years of heavy metal mu...[Read More]

Today, GUNNAR Optiks is announcing the launch of a new kind of gaming glasses. The Lightning Bolt 360 (LB360) combines a variety of interchangeable fit options to ensure that just about everyone can find the perfect fit in a pair of gaming/computer glasses, and even sunglasses.
May is, appropriately, National Military Appreciation Month. What’s that have to do with gaming? Aside from the obvious military tie-ins of game franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and even Mass Effect and Doom, there’s the simple fact that a lot of military folks are gamers. Gaming has also become a valuable tool for people coming back from deployment to use as a way of deal...[Read More]
It’s that time again! Football is back, Pumpkin Spice is going into all the things, and Fall colors are showing up in the stores. This year, GUNNAR Optiks is updating a couple of their most popular frame styles with some new colors that are very on-trend. (Or so my fashion-forward daughter tells me – Ed.)
How do we get teens to take better care of their eyes when so much of their daily lives revolve around looking at various screens? That seems to be the question that drove GUNNAR Optiks with the recently introduced Cruz lineup – a set of frames intended primarily for teens.
June 6th is National Eyewear Day here in the United States, which means it’s a good reminder to make sure that your eyes are in the best shape that they can be. No one wants to end up in the gamer version of “Time Enough At Last” where when we finally have time to tackle our backlogs, we can’t see the screen well enough to do anything.
Announced today, GUNNAR Optiks will be bringing a new lens to the PC/Gaming glasses market which boasts a significant increase in blue light blocking. Dubbed the “Amber Max”, these lenses have a BLPF (Blue Light Protection Factor) of 98. BLPF can be thought of similar to the SPF number found on sunscreens. For comparison, GUNNAR’s amber lenses have a BLPF of 65, while their clear...[Read More]
We don’t know whether GUNNAR Optik’s new special edition tie-in with Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will actually make wearers better at that specific game. What we can say is that they will make wearers better at just about everything else they do on a screen.
GUNNAR Optiks has done a lot to make themselves the first name in computer eye wear. As more studies seem to find health issues from the blue light of our various screens, and everyone from Apple to Microsoft goes about introducing some form of Night mode into their various operating systems, a good pair of glasses becomes an increasingly vital defense. For 2019, GUNNAR looks to sink the competiti...[Read More]
Okay, I’ll admit it, I’ve been a sceptic of GUNNAR Optiks for a long time. What did their pricey optics have that I wasn’t getting from a pair of cheap, tinted, low magnification reading glasses from my local pharmacy? I didn’t realize that I was going to get the chance to answer that question, thanks to some help from the GUNNAR booth at PAX East this year.
