Are the gunnars worth it if my eye strain is minimal?

[kriptcs]

Greetings.I use the pc pretty often,always on night mode (low brightness,low contrast) and also f.lux.The single time if feel a little strain is very late at night.I wondered if it's worth getting the gunnars to prevent worse eye strains

Don't buy Gunnars or any "gaming glasses". They're expensive and I highly doubt they are medically approved.

If you want protective glasses, go to a licensed optician, have your eyes checked and even if your sight is fine, tell the doctor about how much you spend in front of a screen. He/she will recommend protective glasses that you can get for what you need. You'll pick out the frames and the lens color (you can also get clear, non-colored lenses that don't distort vision or color) and it will be a. Cheaper and b. Medically approved. (and c. you can test the frames before buying and there usually are dozens of styles to pick from, as well as different materials, from acrylic frames to titanium)

if you're already using night mode and f.lix then gunnars aren't going to change much. 

Honestly, they're not worth it at all... If you're getting eye strain still even with all you're doing, then perhaps try just taking some time off every once in a while. Don't sit infront of a computer for five hours straight, get up, walk around, stretch, do anything

I started getting eyestrain, even after using f.lux and low brightness settings. So I went to my eye doctor and he recommended reading glasses. They were covered by insurance and really make a difference. So yeah, maybe see an eye doctor? Before you make any big purchases.

I have a pair of Gunnars and I like them.
