Hi

Well they just might work, I cannot dispute or attest to that fact, BUT...

"diAMIX lens material is tougher than polycarbonate and rivals ground glass optics"

Why do they NEED to be tougher than POLYCARBONATE? Polycarbonate can stop bullets!

"i-Fi lens coatings" ?
"nano-filters" ?
"bad light" ?
"capturing the good light" Huh?
"Fractyl lens geometry" ?
"personal ocular microclimate" Aw, come on?
"iONik lens tints that tune artificial light to the eye?s anatomy" Huh?
"shifting light into the preferred color spectrum" - using a yellow tint?

If they "help the eye focus on near distance computer screens" why are they available in prescription form?

They LOOK like yellow tinted driving glasses.

How good will they be for graphic artists when they try to match the gamma of a monitor?

If they are THAT good, then send me a pair to review and I'll add my comments here!

Kind regards

Peter
I need a perscription set for computer or 3D. Is that a possibility and how much will it cost?
Cool, I'll have to look at them
Can anyone tell me the difference between 'bad' and 'good' light? (feature #2)

Good/Bad

"Good" light does not hurt, and helps people walk across busy streets.
"Bad" light hurts, and trip little old ladies.
So Ive heard anyway, being a mushroom, I can only pass along innuendo.
I've had my Gunnars for a couple years now and I love them. The first few days took a little adjusting but now I get fewer headaches - this is great when you spend 10-14 hours a day at a computer screen.

Unlike the author I have been able to wear my Gunnars about for short jaunts to other desks - even to lunch (the frames are so lightweight I sometimes forget I have them on.) The materials on their website plainly state that these are optimized for computer viewing - 24" or so away from the screen so people purchasing these should already be aware of the restrictions.

For those who don't want computer glasses? Gunnar Optiks also sells sunglasses and are working on 3-D glasses for personal use (no more clunky theater glasses!)
