Does anyone have them and do they actually do what they claim?

 

I was thinking about buying some but i was wondering if they really do help with the "eye fatigue, headaches, etc" that they say.

 

 

Thanks guys

They work, if you have glasses then its weird, you have to where contacts or you cant wear them. They do work however, i just bloody hate contacts.

If you want them in prescription then it must be a zeiss lens which is FUCKING EXPENSIVE, the lens type started from standard,nikon super,nikon ultra,nikon deluxe and then zeiss. Its the finest type of glass and its used in DSLR cameras. my eyes are about 2.5 and 2,75(right and left are different) but it was looking at £500 for the lens alone. thats crazy

I have the Gunnar Phantoms, and they are auper light! It's like wearing a blue tooth, but on your eyes. For me, I had to get used to the slight magnification, and it changed my FOV ever so slightly. My eyes are 1.75 left, 2.00 right.

I would give the build quality an 8. The metal parts are kinda thin, but that gives it the light weight.

The effectiveness is probably about a 7. They slightly help me eyes, but they don't help it that much. I would say it increases my endurance about 45 minutes in front of a monitor.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Im pretty sure reducing eye strain was the only purpose.

I own a pair and used them for a little bit, I can honestly say they helped me with eye fatigue after many hours of gaming. However beware that they have a very slight zoom, so it's kind of like wearing prescription glasses when you don't need them, it's not good for you, that's why I don't use them and I would strongly recommend against them. Maybe if they make a version that doesn't zoom in.
