Oh, and anyone who says "JUST DOWNLOAD F.LUX" only proves they never watched the video, which makes your comment null and void, and in turn shall be laughed at and mocked. Fair warning.
I watched it and I do agree that gunner works. But I still use flux. It works for me I use just two machines all day. Also I only get headache at night and the sunset feature and flux I think is really for people like me. And I will agree that the default on flux is set to 3400K and looks like ass. I have it set to 5000K with normal temp on the monitor. With Flux if you have Cool or Warm color temp it will look really off. Gunners are ok but once set up right Flux works just fine for me.
This might be 5 years old. But you watching too much porn on the tablet, computer, server, cell phone, and whatever else your eyes can't take it off that naked body! I can't believe anyone thought your squinting at reading words.

Here is a tip, you can walk into any vision center (optometrist) and order any pair of glasses (frames) with 'gun yellow' lenses. You can get them with or without prescription lenses, so no need to be limited to Gunners style or sizes.
Jay doesn't use F.lux cause he doesn't give any flux. Okay, seriously though. F.lux was not made to combat eye fatigue. It was made to have better sleep (because the excessive amount of blue light emitted from monitors messes up your Circadian rhythm.) That's why it (by default) only works at night. F.lux does not serve the same purpose as Gunnars.
That comment made no sense whatsoever... The excessive blue light doesn't just screw up your sleep but your eyesight too when in dark room. What do you think a warmer light means ? It means it's closer to the ambient light in your room which is most likely not a 6500K one. The closer your monitor light is to the ambient light, the better for your eyesight.
@@nvmffs he said it only turns on at night, not that it didn't work. He was saying flux isn't ment for this guys problem because it doesn't block sources of blue light not coming from your computer, because it can't bend the laws of physics obviously
@@gabe8168 You can set it up any way you want. It can be on 24/7 if you like. What different sources of blue light do you mean exactly? Keep in mind we do need some blue light in the daytime to function properly.

I had gunnar glasses for years and I can't work without them anymore, my eyes start to hurt etc. If you seriously doubt if protective glasses work, you are either an idiot or you never tried them. As a programmer myself, I couldn't imagine my working day without wearing them.
I bought a local brand and way cheaper computer glasses which cost $20. I noticed my eye strain, stiff neck and headaches are gone. Sleep is also way better. This also helps you with the glare.
people saying just to download flux and i will give my OPINION 1) after 1 week of not using a computer and my eyes not strained at all i used my computer for a day, eyes didnt hurt, got a little sick (not because of computer), my head hurt, and then my eyes started to hurt because i started to use my computer so i got flux and it made it 10 times worse. 2) flux has a way different color to it. 3) gunnars have a small magnification to them and other very small things only noticeable in the long run. 4) i game for long periods of time in fullscreen to get 144hz (if its not fullscreen it doesnt work) and flux doesnt work in fullscreen
I am also in the IT world, I also have a small local business that I run and I play a lot of games.... so I am all day every day (for the most part) looking at a screen of some kind. I have been using Gunnars for about 2 years now and I just can't do without them! Great video! Glad you are loving them as well!
There we talk about colors, not smoothness of animation. This is another thing. Anyways, I agree, G-Sync monitors or 120/144hz helps a lot your eyes. At 60 FPS in some games I have eye strain, but newer games and old ones uses motion blur and this help to smooth out animations and trick your brain the objects in games really move.
laurentiu d. I don't think we were suggesting it was the same phenomenon - but flicker-free backlight might at least be related to some degree. Thankfully most screens now are starting to implement that. Unfortunately I can't actually try Gunnars or anything equivalent - use prescription glasses, and can't really invest in new ones right now, so no way to make use of them...
I have been using them for two years. They are a life savior. I got Rx kind and they ship internationally. My eyes suffered from during my service. They really do help especially when my eyes get dry my cornea cracks. ONLY PROBLEM WITH YELLOW TINTED ONES (WHICH I THINK ARE THE BEST) AS A DESIGNER WITH COLOR CORRECTION YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE THEM ON!
For all wondering if this is placebo, i've got this type of amber glass, filtering blue light on my prescription glasses (i think that's how it's said in English) and it changed my life
Everyone realizes these are just 'blue-blockers,' i.e., lenses that block the blue part of the visible spectrum, right? Hunters and competitive shooters of weapons have been using these for many years.
If people can read, they would realize that. Gunnar says it right on their site. doesn't change the fact they work though, and seem cheaper than hunting/competition equipent, which is usually massively overpriced.
What works for me. 1. Viewing screen in lighted areas with Sun/Lamp. 2. Screen at least 3ft back. 3. Brightness at 0%. 4. Privacy filter. 5. Resolution below 800 by 600 pixels. Above that is better for TVs at distance. 6. Flux(recently discovered by comments on this page). With all these steps I can stay on all day no strain what so ever.
As a console gamer, I bought a pair of Gunnar's (as I had heard about them a few years back), and they are incredible. The yellow tint fades after a few minutes and they help focus and sit longer for play sessions. I would suggest them to anyone who asks.
For every color sensitive work, just don't use any glasses or filtres like f.lux. Photoshop and in general editing software have a black interface and it don't hurt your eyes.
Dude... I went on and got me a pair of these. Same style, by the way. :-) I've only had them for a couple of days so far, but I can already notice a difference. Very much liking them, so far.
Biologically, we are designed to sleep in the dark and not in the day. This is controlled by the amount of blue light that out eyes are exposed to. Blue light literally sends your brain the stay awake signals. Certainly not a perfect science, but I would be interested if someone documented this really well and shared their results. I'll be smarter and better in the morning, it's late.
I also had a huge problem with my eyes and I really struggled of trying to find solutions. After a long time, visiting doctors and eyespecialists and they all came to one conclusion, there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I didn't know what to do then I gave gunnar optics a try. My eye problems vanished! They really worked!
Just use any Yellow Anti-Fog Lenses Eye Protection it offer wider angle with no edge frame. more badass and offer ballistic protection when playing shooter game
Copper, orange, yellow/amber and brown lens tints make an environment appear brighter and are commonly used in low-light conditions. These lens tints block blue light and enhance contrast and depth perception making them helpful for overcast, hazy and foggy conditions. Blue light, with its shorter wavelength, scatters easier than other colors and makes focusing more difficult. Removing blue light therefore improves sharpness and depth perception and reduces fatigue. However, these lens tints do cause some degree of color distortion, though brown/bronze lenses do so considerably less than do yellow/amber or orange lenses. This has been common knowledge among the shooting community for quite some time.
I bought a pair or gunner optics a few weeks ago, when I would play games on my pc I would be inches away from my monitor, now with these glasses I actually sit back away from it. I was suprise how well they work and how much clearer everything is! I got the gunner carbon snipers, got them at best buy only because the guy said if they don't work for you, you have 14 days to return them. well I won't be returning them ever! I won't use my pc or my ps4 without them. I'm extremely impressed and pleased.
or do like i did and getting your eyes lasered :) i can now see better then with my old glasses before. that why im watching this old reviews now xD never even thinked about putting a second coat of glasses in front of my eyes except 3d movies xD
Alinutz Alin it took about half an hour. the hardest time comes after the operation, where youve to keep your eyes closed for about 6 hours without sleeping for the healing process ^^ there are different types of laser-operations. i used lasik. its pretty impressive how good i can see now. never expected it to be so good. the only problem is a sometimes small corona of light around lightsources at night - called halos. but need to go to the followup examination next year first to see if something can be done about it. but if they cant do something about it its just a tiny error i think. im pretty happy :)
I own a pair and I can say that not only do they work for Eye strains, but I usually get migraines and this helps alleviate and makes it all the more comfortable continuing to look at screens (especially in low light settings). They're quite the investment, but worth it if you have multiple screens and staring at them all day.
I've had F.lux installed on my laptop for almost a year now, and I've had the app "Twilight" on my phone, which is basically F.lux for android. I can guarantee you that it hurts my eyes. Still a lot. So I've decided to get a pair of Gunnars and see how that goes. *If I remember,* I'll update this post. Oh, and before you question it: My brightness is at 25%, and F.lux is at 3308K on my laptop and 1666K on my phone. (Still getting eye strain/burns/whateveryouwannacallthem)
+Keshaw Kishan yes, here goes: I tried changing my f.lux settings to lower the color settings to 1400K to see if that would help, and it didn't. So I got my pair of Gunnar Microns, after using them for two weeks, I saw a lot of change. My eyelids were constantly moist, as a sign of the design that Gunnars talks about that it keeps it humid so your eyes don't dry out. And that was a very important factor to me, because I forgot to blink. I had no headaches just by being in front of my monitor, however I did start to get headaches when wearing headphones, because the Micron glasses are very tight and pressed against your head. So I decided to return the Micron, and got myself a pair of Vayper, now I don't get any kind of headaches, not from my eyes, or from using headphones and the glasses. I love the inch of magnification it comes with, it makes everything clearer to see as it lowers contrast, and the amber tint really isn't that much of a problem, plus, the tint is even less noticeable than if you had f.lux. Overall, I'm loving it, and I use it not only at my desk, but also in bed when reading, and when using my phone.
+Keshaw Kishan also, forgot to mention, I don't get bloodshot eyes, nor do my eyes burn. And before, whenever my eyes would burn, I'd squeeze my eyes shut, and tear would come out, but now whenever I squeeze my eyes shut, no tear comes out because it's not dry and it doesn't burn.
+gunitakon thank you so much .. i personally have migraines and hair loss because of the stress caused by computers but ya i will be getting one for me now..also coz of strain my eyes have become lIke Asians ..i hope that will help :) thanks for your feedback
I'M GOING TO TALK WITHOUT WATCHING THE VIDEO!! I tried the clear/crystalline glasses because I didn't want the color change. I did like the little bit of magnification on top of my contacts but there would still be glares. But! I would recommend them because they do hold terrific resale value and I had them sold on eBay in a day.
I have had my glasses for more than 3 years and other than a headset and gaming monitor, they were my best investment with gaming. I literally cannot play without them. They are worth the money.
"Flux - Makes your screen look like poop." not really a constructive comment to a awesome program, I personally love that program and I'm not about to waste A LOT money on a pair of glasses.
Jager Flamboyant people dont really know what is poop when they live their whole life in poop. someone who lives their whole life in a sticky wash room would say its find, but refuses to go out and try what other people call it 'fresh air'.
CaptainLiones Sad truth. I have been using flux since the day I posted that comment and my eyes no longer hurt at all when looking at my screen. hearing something like it makes your screen look like poo, many will believe it and won't even give it a try
Nakahish I think perhaps it heavily relies on running the program properly (haven't tried it as yet) but he is correct that in his situation a software solution simply isn't practical, seeing as it is his livelihood, $100 or so would have to be considered a worthwhile investment.
To anyone who doubts that these work, I have been using the PPKs since 2013. A $50 purchase has saved me $1400 in new prescription glasses every year because I don't continuously cause damage to my eyes. They have lasted me 5 years and are quite durable if you use them as intended and don't abuse them. The advantage to a pair of glasses vs something like flux is that flux will only affect how you see your computer monitor. Glasses will help with eye strain caused by fluorescent lighting because they cover your eyes. That's where the biggest difference is made.
I think it's important to remember that "glasses" in general work. I use to work in front of the computer all day wearing my contacts. After I switched to glasses it had much of the same effect that you're talking about.
I've had mine for over a year now. When I'm gunna be at the computer for a while, I put mine on. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my eyes with the use of these. Less strain for sure.
Nope. Haven't seen that in ages and I still haven't downloaded... eh.. *cough, cough* ahem, RENTED the sequel. I guess I'm off to, uh, RENT it again to see what the reference is.
Gunnars are not the best option when it comes to eye protection from computer screens... There is a company called MLG,they are based in California and they make the so called "Noscope" glasses.They are quite a bit more stylish with their wider range of designs,they offer a 1337 days warranty which is alot more than what Gunnars offer and they also cost less*Just a single picture of your mother*. I think this makes them a better choice in general !

I got a pair about two months ago, I agree, I don;t sit at my monitor without my Gunnar Optik gaming glasses. Highly recommended.
***** Yea, I know. I just remember way back when, when you used to talk about Francis and you spoke with a lisp :) By the way, loving the channel and you sure are growing man! Been with the channel since you had 1K subs :D
This was the first of your videos that I saw, and because of it I bought myself a pair of Gunnars, and I love them. Still use them daily at work, and they've made my life so much better looking at a screen all day. (I do software development)
palonazo Well people got jobs that have them sitting on a computer the whole day, so if there are places that can be improved to better their working conditions then it most likely exist (Better working conditions = Better efficiency and happier employees).
SirTerning Blue blockers have been around since the 70s! Why sell them as a computer exclusive product and a novelty? That's my point. The same happens with chairs. We got gaming chairs nowadays. Why? Have our confort needs increased now that we game? I've been sitting in front of computers for hours for 3 decades now and all I've ever needed for that is normal confortable chairs. That's what I was saying. What's next, computer oriented shoes?
palonazo Oh sorry, I must have misread you. I don't know though, maybe there is a market for it? and some people feel like 'exploiting' it with stupid gamer marketing? Gunnar is not so extreme in the way they market the glasses and actually have a fair bit of useful information on their site to.
SirTerning Well, he should have said: Here, here are some glasses which aren't a new thing. They cost more than when sold as what they are and have been for the last 40 years. They work just as well as they did when the first Indiana Jones movie was being filmed.
They work. One of those things that positively surprised me too, and probably a lot of people. Doesn't necessarily have to be Gunnar, but might as well get Gunnar.
Gunnar works for me too for about 2 years now. But they have their flaws. Lens are reflective, i can see my eyeballs in reflection. The are bloody fingerprint magnet! Even my eyebrows leaves marks. And they are fragile, one inaccurate step and they scratched, and that scratch will be visible while wearing them. Other than that, they are great! I cannot longer do programming without them.
fwiw, I did buy a pair. I used them for about two weeks. After two weeks I found I still had some issues. I got my eyes checked to find that one eye is weaker than the other. I ended up getting a prescription and got lenses with blue light filters.
Chris Coddington i got a new monitor with blue light reduction and its night and day :) work and game pretty much all day on a monitor so, i wont be skimping on blue light reduction for my next monior :) oh and i told a friend to get lenses with UV protection etc etc and his head aches improved within one week, i dont get why people skimp on eye care tbh :)
Flux just removes blue light to keep it from disrupting sleep patterns, doesn't do much for eye strain. Eyes can't focus properly on a pixelated screen, which is where the strenght in the lens to move your focal point to the screen instead of behind it which is where your eyes normally try to focus on a screen.
Hey thanks for reviewing Gunnar. I have been rubbing my eyes a lot lately and thought I'm finally getting old.. I will be buying my pair next week hopefully..
It does indeed depend on the person. I tried gunnars for a week and my eye strain was significantly worse while wearing them. I think that light prescription is what caused it. On the other hand, my cousin continues to use his for well over two years and loves them. Your mileage may very.
Thanks J. Much Appreciated. The voice impersonations are a very nice touch. I do enjoy them. it brings humor to the videos and makes them different from the rest.
Gunnars work for me. I always refocus my eyes after a few hours looking at a screen and since I started using them my eyes refocused quicker. They're expensive, but in my opinion worth it.
To me this seems better than flux either way because your eyes are still fully exposed to a screen and not only that you are chancing the image rather than changing your entire vision like glasses make you do...
love them had them for 3 years and still loving them. Just like he said they might work they might not depending on your eyes, for me they are amazing.
Yo Jay, Got the Gunnar PPKs and personally speaking from a utilitarian and style perspective, working and playing on monitors a lot, yeah your eyes will thank you from the moment you don these bad boys. As always, great review Jay, thanks!
I totally love that kind of optics because , I use them every day , but not gunners . I actually got to the doctor about 2-3 years ago and she said that because of my light grey eyes I am sensitive to very high contrasts and brightness and she advised that I go to a professional glasses making ... kind of guy to get a pair of specialised tinted glasses . they were worth 60 eu but I bought them anyway and they actually worked . a lot of my friends who have pure plue eyes or my mum who has green eyes noticed the difference . I don't know about gunnars but they are definently more expencive so I advice that you go to your local glasses maker and seek for a pair of custom glasses . the one that I got to gave the opportunity of choosing a ''chassis'' for the glasses :D hope that that helped you .
Hey, I also took a shot at these glasses (Phantom version) around 2 years ago. Spending about 12 hours a day in front of a computer screen really, REALLY started to make my eyes get irritated, and I also had to rub them every few minutes and they were always red. After buying these glasses, everything changed for the good, and once I even spent 22 hours in front of my monitor (school project), working almost non stop without even a hint of discomfort on my eyes. People, just try them, if you don't like them you can always return them to Gunnar.
There have been few purchases I have made which have given me the quality of life upgrade that Gunnar glasses did when I got them. My only gripe with them is that I nicked the lenses even though I've only been using microfiber to clean it. It has been a minor thing, but I notice the imperfection in my right eye every now and then. Besides possible weakness in that, the magnesium frame build quality is excellent and I cannot stress enough how instantly it had made my eyes feel better. 18 months of using them and I have absolutely no regrets. My monitors at home, my monitors at work, my tablet on the go, my smartphone so much light strain that I only wish I'd bought a pair sooner in life.
Alaan Franklin Microfiber can indeed scratch the anti-reflective coating on these glasses. This is why they say to only use the bag the glasses come in to clean the lenses. Sorry to hear about the scratch though, that must be fairly annoying to live with.
There's something you forgot to mention, if you have a window behind your monitor, and the sun is hitting you right in the face~ ! With Gunnars the sun won't be nearly as annoying
I used f.lux until I could afford a pair of Gunnars (have 2 pairs now). It is a good option for folks that need some help but can't afford professional eyewear. I work at a software firm in front of terminals all day every day, as well as being a prolific gamer, so Gunnars are a must for me.
I've been using Gunnar Optics for about 6 months and I have 3 different pairs ( RPK, Pro, and Anime versions). I totally agree with Jay, this sht WORKS omg I love them....... The only problem for most people is the price.....yeah it gets kinda ridiculous. But I don't mind spending the money.
When I take mine off my screen looks blue and purple. I seem to focus a bit more when playing with these on. They may not work for everyone but saying they should is like saying everyone should wear glasses. Im glad I have these and im glad got them for free.
Thank you for an awesome review ! I am definitely going to pick up a pair now! i work inside a Control room looking at 20 monitors for 12 hours day. Working on them then go home and watch tv, play on my phone or whatever that my eyes are always screaming!1
Great vid Jay, entertaining and informative. As a Gunnar user for about 3 years I'm like you, can't live without them. I work in graphics & photography so I have the Crystaline series for maintaining color correctness and they without a doubt help reduce the eye strain. Liked them so much I also bought a pair of the MLG series for gaming. Keep up the good work.
No need to buy any fancy glasses for hundreds of dollars, any cheap ass yellow sunglasses will do. As long as it's not to dark and you don't work on photomanipulation or stuff where you need to see the colors properly. The Point is they reduce the blue/bright white light and that is easier on your eyes without bringing the brightness down.
Carl Ziess has been making glass for years, hell, the Germans Used them in their original sniper rifles. They still make awesome scopes, glasses, and other glass.
i use gunnars, they are stylish i mean yellow is different, use them at night, and improve your sleep, there is also a twilight app for phone and flux for PC to help.
If any of your eye issues is from the light itself, which it sounds like it may be, f.lux doesn't do much for that. The yellow tinting in those lenses, meanwhile, cuts out the blue light that causes the worst of the problem. I have severe photosensitivity and have to run dimscreen at 50% on top of having my screens' brightness cranked down. I'll probably give Gunnar a shot, too; never heard of them before.
I used f.lux for a long time. And I liked it. I use it only at sunset/night. At sunrise/day my screen is on eco mode and it doesn't hurt my eyes. Anyways, I disable f.lux or set my monitor on normal mode when I play games or when I do color sensitive work like editing a photo or make an animation/video, things like these. But these glasses, hmm, I should try them, but are expensive in my country :( Anyways, Jayz, good video like every video you upload ;) Keep up!
Got a pair for working on watches. They're the crystalline version so they don't filter out nearly as much cool light but they hold my loupe and the optical properties of the lenses make it so my eyes aren't screwed up by the end of the day from looking at things up close. Highly recommended for watchmakers ^^
Oh, and anyone who says "JUST DOWNLOAD F.LUX" only proves they never watched the video, which makes your comment null and void, and in turn shall be laughed at and mocked. Fair warning.
JUST DOWNLOAD F.LUX, OBVIOUSLY
^ You are laughed at and mocked xD
I watched it and I do agree that gunner works. But I still use flux. It works for me I use just two machines all day. Also I only get headache at night and the sunset feature and flux I think is really for people like me. And I will agree that the default on flux is set to 3400K and looks like ass. I have it set to 5000K with normal temp on the monitor. With Flux if you have Cool or Warm color temp it will look really off. Gunners are ok but once set up right Flux works just fine for me.
Fair logic. I got F.Lux on my desktop and laptop. It's been an unbelievable lifesaver. Good to know there's another solution!

people saying just to download flux and i will give my OPINION
1) after 1 week of not using a computer and my eyes not strained at all i used my computer for a day, eyes didnt hurt, got a little sick (not because of computer), my head hurt, and then my eyes started to hurt because i started to use my computer so i got flux and it made it 10 times worse.
2) flux has a way different color to it.
3) gunnars have a small magnification to them and other very small things only noticeable in the long run.
4) i game for long periods of time in fullscreen to get 144hz (if its not fullscreen it doesnt work) and flux doesnt work in fullscreen
Weird cause in fullscreen it always works for me :P
Vinyl Scratch i have never gotten it to work in fullscreen ive tried it with amd and nvidia gpus
ShadeShotGaming Then again I'm running Intel Graphics so that may be the issue
3) in my transparent +0 this same :)

do you still use them?
Thewickedjon im wondering that now
I am also in the IT world, I also have a small local business that I run and I play a lot of games.... so I am all day every day (for the most part) looking at a screen of some kind. I have been using Gunnars for about 2 years now and I just can't do without them! Great video! Glad you are loving them as well!
I use to get pretty bad eye strain, but then I got a G-Sync monitor and it's a whole new game. I can play games all day with far less eye strain!
Waiting for mine to arrive, flicker-free backlight and smooth refreshes, can't wait. My eyes are gonna thank me later.
There we talk about colors, not smoothness of animation. This is another thing. Anyways, I agree, G-Sync monitors or 120/144hz helps a lot your eyes. At 60 FPS in some games I have eye strain, but newer games and old ones uses motion blur and this help to smooth out animations and trick your brain the objects in games really move.
laurentiu d. I don't think we were suggesting it was the same phenomenon - but flicker-free backlight might at least be related to some degree. Thankfully most screens now are starting to implement that.
Unfortunately I can't actually try Gunnars or anything equivalent - use prescription glasses, and can't really invest in new ones right now, so no way to make use of them...
I have been using them for two years. They are a life savior. I got Rx kind and they ship internationally. My eyes suffered from during my service. They really do help especially when my eyes get dry my cornea cracks. ONLY PROBLEM WITH YELLOW TINTED ONES (WHICH I THINK ARE THE BEST) AS A DESIGNER WITH COLOR CORRECTION YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND YOU HAVE THEM ON!
That voice is golden XD
+Atomic Craze Classic nerd voice

For all wondering if this is placebo, i've got this type of amber glass, filtering blue light on my prescription glasses (i think that's how it's said in English) and it changed my life
Everyone realizes these are just 'blue-blockers,' i.e., lenses that block the blue part of the visible spectrum, right? Hunters and competitive shooters of weapons have been using these for many years.
If people can read, they would realize that. Gunnar says it right on their site. doesn't change the fact they work though, and seem cheaper than hunting/competition equipent, which is usually massively overpriced.
Good point about the pricing, didn't think about that. Haven't gone to the website. I'll check it out.
Yes Gunnar has also stated this in not so many words and really all u have to do is look at em to tell
Not that Gunnars are superbly cheap either, but then they come in a variety of qualities and styles (and prescription variants).
Will they help me from the bf3 blue tint and the fucking supernova?
What works for me.
1. Viewing screen in lighted areas with Sun/Lamp.
2. Screen at least 3ft back.
3. Brightness at 0%.
4. Privacy filter.
5. Resolution below 800 by 600 pixels. Above that is better for TVs at distance.
6. Flux(recently discovered by comments on this page).
With all these steps I can stay on all day no strain what so ever.
you saved my eyes i can't thank u enough
so you bought the glasses or installed the flux? tell me your experiences if you've purchase the glasses lol..
As a console gamer, I bought a pair of Gunnar's (as I had heard about them a few years back), and they are incredible. The yellow tint fades after a few minutes and they help focus and sit longer for play sessions. I would suggest them to anyone who asks.
Thats great, but for 100 bucks? No way, ill just go to some shop and buy some cheap sunglasses instead
I see one problem, when you working with Photoshop for retouching pictures. The colors are wrong no ?
You can get them with clear lenses as well. Not sure how good they work though, I've only used the tinted ones.
I don't think they're meant for that application. I think in Barnacules review he mentions something about it.
For every color sensitive work, just don't use any glasses or filtres like f.lux. Photoshop and in general editing software have a black interface and it don't hurt your eyes.
laurentiu d. yes you right ;)
laurentiu d. Yup, I just lift my Gunnars when checking or changing colors in Photoshop. I still work with them on for everything else.
Dude... I went on and got me a pair of these. Same style, by the way. :-) I've only had them for a couple of days so far, but I can already notice a difference. Very much liking them, so far.

GUNNARS SAVED MY GAMING LIFE !!!!
I read/heard that these glasses help with sleep as they filter out blue light. Anybody have a good method of testing this?
Biologically, we are designed to sleep in the dark and not in the day. This is controlled by the amount of blue light that out eyes are exposed to. Blue light literally sends your brain the stay awake signals.
Certainly not a perfect science, but I would be interested if someone documented this really well and shared their results. I'll be smarter and better in the morning, it's late.
Got this kind of glass on my everyday glasses, it helped a lot indeed (not a scientific test, but a year long experience)
use flux lel
Dover, Come help me install f.lux on my M3D Micro.
+patyler
alright yeah, A/S/L?
I also had a huge problem with my eyes and I really struggled of trying to find solutions. After a long time, visiting doctors and eyespecialists and they all came to one conclusion, there is nothing wrong with my eyes. I didn't know what to do then I gave gunnar optics a try. My eye problems vanished! They really worked!
Just use any Yellow Anti-Fog Lenses Eye Protection it offer wider angle
with no edge frame. more badass and offer ballistic protection when playing shooter game
+ArcadeRacer that ballistic protection makes the difference. 50% btter cod skillz confirmed^^
+megapro125 lmfao
Illuminati confirmed
Copper, orange, yellow/amber and brown lens tints make an environment appear brighter and are commonly used in low-light conditions. These lens tints block blue light and enhance contrast and depth perception making them helpful for overcast, hazy and foggy conditions.
Blue light, with its shorter wavelength, scatters easier than other colors and makes focusing more difficult. Removing blue light therefore improves sharpness and depth perception and reduces fatigue. However, these lens tints do cause some degree of color distortion, though brown/bronze lenses do so considerably less than do yellow/amber or orange lenses.
This has been common knowledge among the shooting community for quite some time.
so, what about the flux capacitor?
I bought a pair or gunner optics a few weeks ago, when I would play games on my pc I would be inches away from my monitor, now with these glasses I actually sit back away from it. I was suprise how well they work and how much clearer everything is! I got the gunner carbon snipers, got them at best buy only because the guy said if they don't work for you, you have 14 days to return them. well I won't be returning them ever! I won't use my pc or my ps4 without them. I'm extremely impressed and pleased.
What you do if you wear glasses already? put them over yours ? :))
You can go to their website and get prescription computer glasses
hope you can find it
VlushiSlayer yeah, well, ain't going to pay 200-400 $ for that lul, I think I could wear contact lenses and those :)
or do like i did and getting your eyes lasered :) i can now see better then with my old glasses before. that why im watching this old reviews now xD never even thinked about putting a second coat of glasses in front of my eyes except 3d movies xD
Vaan1984 Nice ! how long did it take to get both your eyes done ? And how where the effects, was thinking about getting one too
Alinutz Alin it took about half an hour. the hardest time comes after the operation, where youve to keep your eyes closed for about 6 hours without sleeping for the healing process ^^ there are different types of laser-operations. i used lasik. its pretty impressive how good i can see now. never expected it to be so good. the only problem is a sometimes small corona of light around lightsources at night - called halos. but need to go to the followup examination next year first to see if something can be done about it. but if they cant do something about it its just a tiny error i think. im pretty happy :)
I own a pair and I can say that not only do they work for Eye strains, but I usually get migraines and this helps alleviate and makes it all the more comfortable continuing to look at screens (especially in low light settings). They're quite the investment, but worth it if you have multiple screens and staring at them all day.
Didn't randomfrankp just do this same video?(;
"just don't ask me about the flux capacitor cuz that's secret" PAUSE ....subscribe...continue... awesome dude
I've had F.lux installed on my laptop for almost a year now, and I've had the app "Twilight" on my phone, which is basically F.lux for android. I can guarantee you that it hurts my eyes. Still a lot. So I've decided to get a pair of Gunnars and see how that goes. *If I remember,* I'll update this post. Oh, and before you question it: My brightness is at 25%, and F.lux is at 3308K on my laptop and 1666K on my phone. (Still getting eye strain/burns/whateveryouwannacallthem)
updates?
+Keshaw Kishan yes, here goes:
I tried changing my f.lux settings to lower the color settings to 1400K to see if that would help, and it didn't. So I got my pair of Gunnar Microns, after using them for two weeks, I saw a lot of change. My eyelids were constantly moist, as a sign of the design that Gunnars talks about that it keeps it humid so your eyes don't dry out. And that was a very important factor to me, because I forgot to blink.
I had no headaches just by being in front of my monitor, however I did start to get headaches when wearing headphones, because the Micron glasses are very tight and pressed against your head. So I decided to return the Micron, and got myself a pair of Vayper, now I don't get any kind of headaches, not from my eyes, or from using headphones and the glasses.
I love the inch of magnification it comes with, it makes everything clearer to see as it lowers contrast, and the amber tint really isn't that much of a problem, plus, the tint is even less noticeable than if you had f.lux.
Overall, I'm loving it, and I use it not only at my desk, but also in bed when reading, and when using my phone.
+Keshaw Kishan also, forgot to mention, I don't get bloodshot eyes, nor do my eyes burn. And before, whenever my eyes would burn, I'd squeeze my eyes shut, and tear would come out, but now whenever I squeeze my eyes shut, no tear comes out because it's not dry and it doesn't burn.
+gunitakon thank you so much .. i personally have migraines and hair loss because of the stress caused by computers but ya i will be getting one for me now..also coz of strain my eyes have become lIke Asians ..i hope that will help :) thanks for your feedback
+Keshaw Kishan I'm sorry to hear that. And yea, that's a good idea, you'll see the difference for yourself.
I'M GOING TO TALK WITHOUT WATCHING THE VIDEO!! I tried the clear/crystalline glasses because I didn't want the color change. I did like the little bit of magnification on top of my contacts but there would still be glares. But! I would recommend them because they do hold terrific resale value and I had them sold on eBay in a day.
What about no-scope gaming glasses
Ive heard some good shit about them. They re $20 and some people say they are the better then gunnars
Hey dude, it was a typo. Maybe read a review or too yourself. Don't be such a fanboy.
***** surrrreeeee it was a typo.
Trevor Lowe
This guy Trevor is putting off a serious virgin vibe!
***** k
I have had my glasses for more than 3 years and other than a headset and gaming monitor, they were my best investment with gaming. I literally cannot play without them. They are worth the money.
Watching this with f.lux on at 2700k
im at 1900k
Watched this video yesterday, then went out and bought a pair of Intercepts from a local shop. Fantastic, never going back to not using them.
"Flux - Makes your screen look like poop." not really a constructive comment to a awesome program, I personally love that program and I'm not about to waste A LOT money on a pair of glasses.
Nakahish More power to you.
I think it's amazing and does not make the screen look like poo at all I just tried now for the first time :o
Jager Flamboyant people dont really know what is poop when they live their whole life in poop. someone who lives their whole life in a sticky wash room would say its find, but refuses to go out and try what other people call it 'fresh air'.
CaptainLiones Sad truth.
I have been using flux since the day I posted that comment and my eyes no longer hurt at all when looking at my screen.
hearing something like it makes your screen look like poo, many will believe it and won't even give it a try
Nakahish I think perhaps it heavily relies on running the program properly (haven't tried it as yet) but he is correct that in his situation a software solution simply isn't practical, seeing as it is his livelihood, $100 or so would have to be considered a worthwhile investment.
To anyone who doubts that these work, I have been using the PPKs since 2013. A $50 purchase has saved me $1400 in new prescription glasses every year because I don't continuously cause damage to my eyes. They have lasted me 5 years and are quite durable if you use them as intended and don't abuse them.
The advantage to a pair of glasses vs something like flux is that flux will only affect how you see your computer monitor. Glasses will help with eye strain caused by fluorescent lighting because they cover your eyes. That's where the biggest difference is made.
I think it's important to remember that "glasses" in general work. I use to work in front of the computer all day wearing my contacts. After I switched to glasses it had much of the same effect that you're talking about.
I've had mine for over a year now. When I'm gunna be at the computer for a while, I put mine on. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my eyes with the use of these. Less strain for sure.
did anyone get the anchorman reference?
I did!
Of course
Nope. Haven't seen that in ages and I still haven't downloaded... eh.. *cough, cough* ahem, RENTED the sequel. I guess I'm off to, uh, RENT it again to see what the reference is.
Great Odin's Raven!
Been using mine for over a year now. Can't do without them!
You can have yellow glasses for 10$ at home depot and they do the same thing, block the blue spectrum wich hurt the eyes.
How do you know??
Good review. I've had a pair of Gunnar's for 2 years now and cant go a day without them!
Gunnars are not the best option when it comes to eye protection from computer screens...
There is a company called MLG,they are based in California and they make the so called "Noscope" glasses.They are quite a bit more stylish with their wider range of designs,they offer a 1337 days warranty which is alot more than what Gunnars offer and they also cost less*Just a single picture of your mother*. I think this makes them a better choice in general !
I got a pair about two months ago, I agree, I don;t sit at my monitor without my Gunnar Optik gaming glasses. Highly recommended.
JUST TRY FLEX JUST TRY FLEX JUST TRY FLEW! That moment When You know What he means
I have had a pair of there for over a year now. And I will second what jay just said they really work.
Love the boogie impression! XD
Not all lisps are Francis impressions.
***** Yea, I know. I just remember way back when, when you used to talk about Francis and you spoke with a lisp :) By the way, loving the channel and you sure are growing man! Been with the channel since you had 1K subs :D
This was the first of your videos that I saw, and because of it I bought myself a pair of Gunnars, and I love them. Still use them daily at work, and they've made my life so much better looking at a screen all day. (I do software development)
Expensive blue blockers... there's computer everything nowadays. Same old stuff, but more expensive. Computer underwear?
palonazo Well people got jobs that have them sitting on a computer the whole day, so if there are places that can be improved to better their working conditions then it most likely exist (Better working conditions = Better efficiency and happier employees).
SirTerning
Blue blockers have been around since the 70s! Why sell them as a computer exclusive product and a novelty? That's my point. The same happens with chairs. We got gaming chairs nowadays. Why? Have our confort needs increased now that we game? I've been sitting in front of computers for hours for 3 decades now and all I've ever needed for that is normal confortable chairs. That's what I was saying. What's next, computer oriented shoes?
palonazo Oh sorry, I must have misread you. I don't know though, maybe there is a market for it? and some people feel like 'exploiting' it with stupid gamer marketing?
Gunnar is not so extreme in the way they market the glasses and actually have a fair bit of useful information on their site to.
SirTerning
Well, he should have said:
Here, here are some glasses which aren't a new thing. They cost more than when sold as what they are and have been for the last 40 years. They work just as well as they did when the first Indiana Jones movie was being filmed.
They work. One of those things that positively surprised me too, and probably a lot of people. Doesn't necessarily have to be Gunnar, but might as well get Gunnar.
i use both flux and gunnars
No one asked.
Sorry nvm. Pls dont shoot me i lost the money.
I've had my gunnars for about 2 months and they're the best.
Wearing mine as I watch this video. Fucking love them! :-)
Gunnar works for me too for about 2 years now. But they have their flaws. Lens are reflective, i can see my eyeballs in reflection. The are bloody fingerprint magnet! Even my eyebrows leaves marks. And they are fragile, one inaccurate step and they scratched, and that scratch will be visible while wearing them. Other than that, they are great! I cannot longer do programming without them.
@JayzTwoCents - do you still wear them?
@JayzTwoCents Second this, I was thinking about getting some.
I would also like to know.
fwiw, I did buy a pair. I used them for about two weeks. After two weeks I found I still had some issues. I got my eyes checked to find that one eye is weaker than the other. I ended up getting a prescription and got lenses with blue light filters.
Chris Coddington i got a new monitor with blue light reduction and its night and day :) work and game pretty much all day on a monitor so, i wont be skimping on blue light reduction for my next monior :)
oh and i told a friend to get lenses with UV protection etc etc and his head aches improved within one week, i dont get why people skimp on eye care tbh :)
No, That is why he has mini strokes now.
Flux just removes blue light to keep it from disrupting sleep patterns, doesn't do much for eye strain. Eyes can't focus properly on a pixelated screen, which is where the strenght in the lens to move your focal point to the screen instead of behind it which is where your eyes normally try to focus on a screen.
1:40 BOOGIE2988!!!
Hey thanks for reviewing Gunnar. I have been rubbing my eyes a lot lately and thought I'm finally getting old.. I will be buying my pair next week hopefully..
What is the model of these glasses?
He literally said 3 or 4 times
It does indeed depend on the person. I tried gunnars for a week and my eye strain was significantly worse while wearing them. I think that light prescription is what caused it.
On the other hand, my cousin continues to use his for well over two years and loves them.
Your mileage may very.
You took surgery to remove your sense of humor?
They make your blue eyes look so green! Crazy, I have brown eyes so I've never noticed that effect when I wear yellow computer glasses
Thanks J. Much Appreciated. The voice impersonations are a very nice touch. I do enjoy them. it brings humor to the videos and makes them different from the rest.
You've earned a like just for entertaining me for 8 and a half minutes
Gunnars work for me. I always refocus my eyes after a few hours looking at a screen and since I started using them my eyes refocused quicker. They're expensive, but in my opinion worth it.
I got gunnars and I love these glasses really help keep the headaches from long gaming sessions down
To me this seems better than flux either way because your eyes are still fully exposed to a screen and not only that you are chancing the image rather than changing your entire vision like glasses make you do...
love them had them for 3 years and still loving them. Just like he said they might work they might not depending on your eyes, for me they are amazing.
Decided to try a pair after watching this
As a person with only one eye, I am very satisfied
Yo Jay, Got the Gunnar PPKs and personally speaking from a utilitarian and style perspective, working and playing on monitors a lot, yeah your eyes will thank you from the moment you don these bad boys. As always, great review Jay, thanks!
Welp. My name is Gunnar Smith, and every time you said Gunnar I was looking for who was calling my name xD. great video keep them coming!
been using gunnar for like 6 years now.
love em :>
I totally love that kind of optics because , I use them every day , but not gunners . I actually got to the doctor about 2-3 years ago and she said that because of my light grey eyes I am sensitive to very high contrasts and brightness and she advised that I go to a professional glasses making ... kind of guy to get a pair of specialised tinted glasses . they were worth 60 eu but I bought them anyway and they actually worked . a lot of my friends who have pure plue eyes or my mum who has green eyes noticed the difference . I don't know about gunnars but they are definently more expencive so I advice that you go to your local glasses maker and seek for a pair of custom glasses . the one that I got to gave the opportunity of choosing a ''chassis'' for the glasses :D hope that that helped you .
Hey, I also took a shot at these glasses (Phantom version) around 2 years ago. Spending about 12 hours a day in front of a computer screen really, REALLY started to make my eyes get irritated, and I also had to rub them every few minutes and they were always red. After buying these glasses, everything changed for the good, and once I even spent 22 hours in front of my monitor (school project), working almost non stop without even a hint of discomfort on my eyes. People, just try them, if you don't like them you can always return them to Gunnar.
Tu no sabes sobre la película tu ni ere a el el es mas guapo y fuerte k tu ni le llegas ni alps talones etupido jajajajaja
There have been few purchases I have made which have given me the quality of life upgrade that Gunnar glasses did when I got them. My only gripe with them is that I nicked the lenses even though I've only been using microfiber to clean it. It has been a minor thing, but I notice the imperfection in my right eye every now and then. Besides possible weakness in that, the magnesium frame build quality is excellent and I cannot stress enough how instantly it had made my eyes feel better. 18 months of using them and I have absolutely no regrets. My monitors at home, my monitors at work, my tablet on the go, my smartphone so much light strain that I only wish I'd bought a pair sooner in life.
Alaan Franklin Microfiber can indeed scratch the anti-reflective coating on these glasses. This is why they say to only use the bag the glasses come in to clean the lenses. Sorry to hear about the scratch though, that must be fairly annoying to live with.
There's something you forgot to mention, if you have a window behind your monitor, and the sun is hitting you right in the face~ ! With Gunnars the sun won't be nearly as annoying
I used f.lux until I could afford a pair of Gunnars (have 2 pairs now). It is a good option for folks that need some help but can't afford professional eyewear.
I work at a software firm in front of terminals all day every day, as well as being a prolific gamer, so Gunnars are a must for me.
I've been using Gunnar Optics for about 6 months and I have 3 different pairs ( RPK, Pro, and Anime versions). I totally agree with Jay, this sht WORKS omg I love them.......
The only problem for most people is the price.....yeah it gets kinda ridiculous. But I don't mind spending the money.
When I take mine off my screen looks blue and purple. I seem to focus a bit more when playing with these on. They may not work for everyone but saying they should is like saying everyone should wear glasses. Im glad I have these and im glad got them for free.
how'd you get them for free?
I actually won them in a graphic design competition.
Thank you for an awesome review ! I am definitely going to pick up a pair now! i work inside a Control room looking at 20 monitors for 12 hours day. Working on them then go home and watch tv, play on my phone or whatever that my eyes are always screaming!1
Great vid Jay, entertaining and informative. As a Gunnar user for about 3 years I'm like you, can't live without them. I work in graphics & photography so I have the Crystaline series for maintaining color correctness and they without a doubt help reduce the eye strain. Liked them so much I also bought a pair of the MLG series for gaming. Keep up the good work.
No need to buy any fancy glasses for hundreds of dollars, any cheap ass yellow sunglasses will do.
As long as it's not to dark and you don't work on photomanipulation or stuff where you need to see the colors properly.
The Point is they reduce the blue/bright white light and that is easier on your eyes without bringing the brightness down.
Jay went full Slim Shady in this
Carl Ziess has been making glass for years, hell, the Germans Used them in their original sniper rifles. They still make awesome scopes, glasses, and other glass.
i use gunnars, they are stylish i mean yellow is different, use them at night, and improve your sleep, there is also a twilight app for phone and flux for PC to help.
Thanks Jay! I was a bit skeptic, but I think I'm gonna buy them now.
If any of your eye issues is from the light itself, which it sounds like it may be, f.lux doesn't do much for that. The yellow tinting in those lenses, meanwhile, cuts out the blue light that causes the worst of the problem.
I have severe photosensitivity and have to run dimscreen at 50% on top of having my screens' brightness cranked down. I'll probably give Gunnar a shot, too; never heard of them before.
This has to be one of the funniest videos I've watched of Jay's. Love the lisp ranting. lolz
I used f.lux for a long time. And I liked it. I use it only at sunset/night. At sunrise/day my screen is on eco mode and it doesn't hurt my eyes.
Anyways, I disable f.lux or set my monitor on normal mode when I play games or when I do color sensitive work like editing a photo or make an animation/video, things like these.
But these glasses, hmm, I should try them, but are expensive in my country :(
Anyways, Jayz, good video like every video you upload ;) Keep up!
Got a pair for working on watches. They're the crystalline version so they don't filter out nearly as much cool light but they hold my loupe and the optical properties of the lenses make it so my eyes aren't screwed up by the end of the day from looking at things up close. Highly recommended for watchmakers ^^
