Gunnar Optiks - Do they really work??

[@Jayztwocents]

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!

[@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.

[@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]

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.

[@jamescatlover123]

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.

[@Wired2003]

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.

Good review. I've had a pair of Gunnar's for 2 years now and cant go a day without them!

[@shadeshotTV]

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

[@AnoEto]

ShadeShotGaming Then again I'm running Intel Graphics so that may be the issue

[@duszeksmsaczek6394]

3) in my transparent +0 this same :)

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

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.

[@Thewickedjon]

This has to be one of the funniest videos I've watched of Jay's. Love the lisp ranting. lolz

[@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]

Yes Gunnar has also stated this in not so many words and really all u have to do is look at em to tell

[@paytyler]

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

Why is blue light bad?

[@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)

[@cbrew5082]

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)

[@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]

laurentiu d. yes you right ;)

[@SternLX]

laurentiu d. Yup, I just lift my Gunnars when checking or changing colors in Photoshop. I still work with them on for everything else.

[@ericshaun360]

Been using mine for over a year now. Can't do without them!

[@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...

[@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]

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 :)

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'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.

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 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!!!!!!!!!!

[@laurentiucristian1]

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!

[@HypotheticalPizza]

I just ordered some! Super excited to try them out. Thanks a lot Jay!

[@PsyBeats]

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..

[@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.

[@CriteriaGamer]

Keep up the great work Jay!

[@WutsInYourMind]

Lvlcap made a video of gunnars loooong time ago. Im still going to watch this because i saw your channel and realized how awesome you are \m/

[@Bnelen]

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.

[@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.

[@ferretkiller9454]

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.

[@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.

[@Bandersnatch786]

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.

[@zeerox8637]

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!

[@sanctamachina]

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.

[@Player_Review]

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.

[@SethYNWA]

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

[@AzalofForossa]

I like how everyone and their mother all of a sudden has "sensitive eyes" when they get gunnars

[@Ashh9]

Huh?

[@AzalofForossa]

@@Ashh9 whenever someone reviews Gunnar's, they talk about how sensitive their eyes are and how it instantly helps them.

[@Ashh9]

@@AzalofForossa Hmmm maybe thats cause they are and it does

[@AzalofForossa]

@@Ashh9 just odd how literally every review says the exact same thing, they all start the same and end the same. "I'm not paid, my eyes hurt, with these glasses my eyes don't hurt, buy them if you think you want them idk" it's like that's the script. I'm not in any way bashing them, I've tried them on and off and I feel no difference between using them and not. I tried to be a believer for months, and probably will continue to use mine, but honestly probably should have thrown that money into dogecoin instead.

[@DudeWereOnY0uTub]

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

[@NicuplusWILD]

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

[@fuego123]

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

[@Lukeschedel]

Jay your computer is fucking amazing. I've built many custom computers but nothing as beautiful as yours.

[@kowalskitime454]

I hope Gunnar shows some love to this guy. Loved the review :) Keep it up lol

[@ImSquiggs]

Hahahah, you killed it on the dork impression. And this was really helpful. Thanks!

[@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.

[@Fjarilsmannen]

I am confused, he says that f.lux makes the screen look bad, but doesn't the glasses do precisely the same? Both change the temperature of the light coming to your eyes. I get the reason he doesn't use f.lux of course, but i just don't understand that argument about the color change, am i missing something?

[@itsWagZ98]

+Fjärilsmannen f.lux has a orangier/annoying type yellow where the gunnars kind of just blend in IMO. Ive used both

[@Fjarilsmannen]

+itsWagZ98 Ah interesting, i thought it would look kinda the same, as both blocks some of the blue light. Thanks:)

[@ModyTech]

This is completely an fair review because the gunner company sent this item to you for free
