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.

[@zidiko]

JUST DOWNLOAD F.LUX, OBVIOUSLY

[@akhilsudh]

^ You are laughed at and mocked xD

[@nicksobo7601]

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.

[@fatpaws]

Fair logic. I got F.Lux on my desktop and laptop. It's been an unbelievable lifesaver. Good to know there's another solution!

[@saroyy]

I'll take this moment to admit that I was about to say 'Download Flux!', without even watching the video. Good video 👍

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.

[@TimmyTechTV]

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.

[@joachimpeiper7471]

Fun fact: at the top of the short-list of proposed improvements planned for the German Tiger II tank of WW2 was the switch from Leitz optics to Zeiss optics. In my opinion, that says a lot.

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.

[@D4rkR3bel5]

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.

[@nvmffs]

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.

[@gabe8168]

@@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

[@nvmffs]

@@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.

[@gabe8168]

@@nvmffs other sources as in other peoples computers, this guy said he works with a bunch of different computers at his work, not just his own.

[@nvmffs]

@@gabe8168 Well, yeah, I guess a specific job like his could benefit from Gunnars more but in general F.lux seems to be more effective: insights.ovid.com/crossref?an=00006324-201907000-00008

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)

[@JSBroadcast]

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.

[@gentindrevataj4734]

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.

[@MIBxSpartan]

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!

[@Mythricia1988]

Waiting for mine to arrive, flicker-free backlight and smooth refreshes, can't wait. My eyes are gonna thank me later.

[@laurentiucristian1]

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.

[@Mythricia1988]

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...

[@GameMechanic1]

I'm still not convinced this isn't the placebo effect... not that I doubt your honesty, it's just that the placebo effect is so powerful it actually can cause physiological changes

[@Jayztwocents]

GameMechanic.tv Placebo wears off over time, but these have not, considering how long ago I got these and how they still work.

[@GameMechanic1]

***** Thanks for the update and response!

[@ImprintYoungAdults]

GameMechanic.tv Not trying to argue (hopefully someone reads this and it helps), but the idea behind these is to keep the layer of air in front of your eyes warm and moist, as when you look at a screen you tend to blink less and thus, dry your eyes out. The other thing of course is to reduce glare due to some coating (can't remember what it is exactly) that the outer layer of the lens has. Another review I read said that when given to an optometrist, they likened these to the equivalent of using eye-drops every hour (or maybe it was every half-hour, either way, you get the idea). Anyway, just some more info for you and others :)

[@TeacherFlash]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnar_Optiks it is placebo and this video is marketing

[@ImprintYoungAdults]

Animated Anatomy the only two studies cited in that entry showed different results and neither study has undergone peer-review. That does not mean that they do not work, nor does it mean that they do, it just means that two studies have been done with differing results.

[@BigWhiteDynamite]

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

[@AnoEto]

Weird cause in fullscreen it always works for me :P

[@shadeshotTV]

Vinyl Scratch i have never gotten it to work in fullscreen ive tried it with amd and nvidia gpus

[@walnas3a]

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.

[@TheBTNPSHR]

Thanks for this review! Because of THIS review, I just ordered a pair of SteelSeries Scope Gaming glasses from Gunnar...along with a couple of accessories. Looking forward to getting them in a couple of days and trying them out with 3+1 27" monitor setup and my laptop, smartphone, and tablet that i use when I travel.

[@liamcosgrave5410]

Thanks jay , i think i will give these a go based on your reveiw !

[@paytyler]

I read/heard that these glasses help with sleep as they filter out blue light. Anybody have a good method of testing this?

[@paytyler]

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.

[@Totone56]

Got this kind of glass on my everyday glasses, it helped a lot indeed (not a scientific test, but a year long experience)

[@Dover939]

use flux lel

[@paytyler]

Dover, Come help me install f.lux on my M3D Micro.

[@Dover939]

+patyler alright yeah, A/S/L?

[@Toptengamer]

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.

[@JCstaffu]

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.

[@gunitakon]

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)

[@KeshawKishan]

updates?

[@gunitakon]

+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.

[@gunitakon]

+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.

[@KeshawKishan]

+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

An excellent review that was fun to watch, even for being released 4 years ago! Thanks! Btw, for those of us with ailing eyes, there are brands that have these kind of glasses with 0 to 3.5x magnification (not sure if Gunner has ‘em). Apparently standard Gunners have 0.20x mag.

[@BlackWipeout]

I see one problem, when you working with Photoshop for retouching pictures. The colors are wrong no ?

[@halsoy]

You can get them with clear lenses as well. Not sure how good they work though, I've only used the tinted ones.

[@theawsomest100]

I don't think they're meant for that application. I think in Barnacules review he mentions something about it.

[@laurentiucristian1]

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.

[@BlackWipeout]

[@alinutzalin6346]

Vaan1984 Nice ! how long did it take to get both your eyes done ? And how where the effects, was thinking about getting one too

[@Vaan1984]

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 :)

[@miker6570]

I have had a pair of there for over a year now. And I will second what jay just said they really work.

[@littlebigt0e]

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.

[@ccoddington]

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.

[@_TrueDesire_]

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 :)

[@10dogsblue9]

No, That is why he has mini strokes now.

[@champmav]

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.

[@Mythricia1988]

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.

[@champmav]

Good point about the pricing, didn't think about that. Haven't gone to the website. I'll check it out.

[@ChibiTheEdgehog]

[@palonazo]

Expensive blue blockers... there's computer everything nowadays. Same old stuff, but more expensive. Computer underwear?

[@jvc85]

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).

[@palonazo]

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?

[@jvc85]

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.

[@palonazo]

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.

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 !

[@pijanpijan]

The Gunner glasses work for me perfectly. I can recommend them after several days of using.

"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.

[@Jayztwocents]

Nakahish More power to you.

[@TRANSCENDINGOD]

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

[@CaptainLiones]

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'.

[@TRANSCENDINGOD]

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

[@sirstrongbad]

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.

[@stephenmallett2956]

They do work. great review

[@darkness8917]

Interesting video. First time subscriber and looking foreword to seeing more videos 👍 Want a set of glasses also. Great work

[@ghostrider2214]

Good one man, have been looking into getting some for....a year or so now but I'm sold as soon as I get the funds I'm going to give them a try.

[@TatsuMakiSeppuKyaku]

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.

[@marcmarangolo2202]

I might get a pair eventually now. I am working on building my first ever gaming PC and based on your review, i'd like to give em a try. Great Review dude! Keep it UP!!!!!!!!!!

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.

[@Reebthgil]

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.

[@enCritic]

this is my second review i saw for this glasses i mean what you have i do too, my screen brightness is on 10% not only the laptop even iphone and tv thanks for the review

[@Bryce70]

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.

[@DiceAir]

I must say it's awesome to watch you Jay. I laughed so hard

[@DudeWereOnY0uTub]

I've had my gunnars for about 2 months and they're the best.

[@rooikreef9738]

Thanx Jay... I always wanted to know how these optics were.

[@EdvinDzafcic]

I recently got the BenQ 3200pt and the low blue settings has blown my mind my eyes feel so much better. I can imagine gunnar effect to be similar, as the screen on the low blue setting has a sort of amber setting.

[@select20]

I've been on the fence about these things for awhile now. I tried the flux thing for about 2 weeks, but like you said, it makes everything look like crap. I think I'll go out and get some today. Thanks for the vid.

[@SethYNWA]

I love how you do the voices randomly, so gooood.

[@BallisticTech]

Lovin those silky smooth b-roll shots!

[@ayushdhar432]

these things work i agree it clears everything infront of your eyes

[@levit6425]

Gunnar's are awesome, I have them and now my eyes stay fully open, and Amber, which is the color of my eyes so it looks cool on me

[@n7380887]

Thank you for the review! I'm start to show signs of RDS but that cant be helped working in front of a computer 8+hrs. Initailly sceptical I gonna give these a try

[@SuperJakeybakey]

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.

[@mortezakarimzadeh4862]

perfect video !! tnx alot mate

[@riplippers6385]

I really wish I could me you in person !!!! You are my idol dude. Keep up the good work.

[@instagamrr]

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
