I have steelseries scopes and they are fantastic, very light and comfy, and really helps my eyes and vision, really helps prevent fatigue, or if I already have eye fatigue it takes it off very quickly!

 

Its mostly a style thing :D

I have the Vayper Crystallines but Prescription. I have two pairs, idk why they gave me a free pair as a prescripted pair alone costs like 450ish. They're quite useful but I find that when I have gaming sessions that are around 6-8 hours long. I start to kinda dizzy. Maybe because I don't wear glasses on a daily basis, only for computer and school before.

I've seen kids at my high school before who have bought normal Gunnars because some e-athletes wear them and they think if they get it, they will be better :D

Gunnars imo are a type of health product for your eyes? I kinda see it as, if Gunnar sponsors gamers, thus Tylonel will sponsors gamers, EAT TYLONEL AND YOU'LL BE PRO TOO! idk its 8am for me cant explain for shit

I actually experimented with it. Played Metro Last Light for 2 hours and got motion sickness, threw the glasses on, made it better but after a few hours, I felt dizzy again.

They always look somewhat... special needs... So if your worry is style, better don't buy any.

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

I'm fine with flux, even use a variant for my phone and helped with eye fatigue.

Me too. I used f.lux on my Windows machine and Twilight on my S5. It helped me sleep better, but I dislike the red-ish tint that I had to deal when using the screens at late night.

I use uhmm bluelight filter I think on my phone, and get a yellowish tint(same as flux), does twilight give it a reddish tint?

Gunnars were designed to "reduce eye-strain"

 

It works for some people then the others won't notice a difference or even hate the experience overall because of having nauseous feelings after a period of use

 

What really matters in buying Gunnar is your personal preference and first-hand experience with the product

 

I personally used one and didn't really notice it until 2 hours in game, and it felt like I had only been playing for a while

Well i bought the Gunnar Optiks Intercepts, I'm pretty pleased so far, my eyes feel far less tired in the nights, they hurt less, still a bit, thanks for all your inputs
