Have any of you guys heard of or use this product?

they are called gunnar opticks and they apparently reduce eyestrain when you are looking at a computer

has anyone tried these out before? if so do they work? (i think i remember jeff talking about that he uses glasses like these at his home and that they actually work, not too sure though)

im preety sure they sponsor mlg, from everyone i have heard talk about them they generally give it good feedback.

Wasn't Will wearing these for a while? Or were those different?

@CL60: nah he was wearing the hd vision glasses, now those were crap XD

Don't overpay for some gamer crap, all these glasses are suppose to do is to keep your eyes in longer more regular periods of focus then the sporadic constant refocusing monitors cause. Anything tinted i imagine would be really annoying, am pretty sure almost all optometrists sell these as well.

i saw this on that weekend confirmed website i think.. shacknews.com, looked good..but really not necessary. Also. i already wear glasses.. im not going to pimp out my glasses by putting glasses on my glasses

Whatever old man. Cumbersome is hip. Untied shoelaces and clothes that don't fit were the shit in the 90's. Have you seen how gangsta it is to be texting while talking on another cellphone? This should put you ahead of the curve. :P

Adam Sessler did an advertising campaign for them because he was so impressed with how well they worked. He doesn't seem like the sort of dude to sell out for any old trash either.

Must be good. Adam Sessler = best game journalist outside of GiantBomb.

I used to think that was Patrick Klepek but then, well, you know...

I was going to get a pair of these a while back...

So glad I didn't.

I find now if you're ever feeling eyestrain, and are someone who is prone to it like me, just look away from the monitor/ book you're using for 5 minutes and come back to it. You really don't need an expensive pair of glasses to fix a small issue.

Kind of weird hearing there are people that have never heard of these. They've been around forever and are always advertised everywhere games are. Black Ops even had a specially made Call of Duty branded pair of them.

Never bought them, but they always have a huge presence at PAX, and I've tried them there.

@mrfluke: I used something like that at PAX while playing Black Ops. All it did for me was make everything yellow.

I used some similar glasses a few years ago. I think they worked.

Did you purposely leave the name out of the topic just to increase pageviews? i feel violated by guerilla marketing >.<

I came in expecting this topic to be about Sex Machine's crotch gun in From Dusk Till Dawn.

I'd totally use that product.

I use F.lux to help with eye strain. If I turn it off in the night it's blinding, I can't not have it on now. http://stereopsis.com/flux/

This...After hearing about F.lux from the [i think it was tested] podcast i checked it out and it works like a charm. And like DuskVamp said, if you turn it off at night everything appears abnormally blue and blinding. Just be sure to set it to change over the duration of an hour...i first set it to change over the duration of a few seconds and the orange shift was real awkward when delivered that fast.

All we need is Sessler to join us, and we will rule the internet!

I've used my friend's pair. They make things very yellow.

Just another little hint you may already know: the further away whatever it is you're looking at, the more relaxed your eyes. So when taking a break from the monitor, look out the window for a bit.

I use f.lux

f.lux is the way to go, simple yet extreamly effective

I cant help but think the tint would drive me crazy, plus i don't have up to date contacts so there not for me.
