mina2 6 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I just read something about some glasses by a company called Gunnar Optiks (easily found) that apparently are really good for people that use a computer screen a lot. They are not prescription (I don't need presc. for computer but you might be able to get them) but apparently is effective in reducing eyestrain. I'm interested in this, anyone know of them or anything similar? Quote: GUNNAR i-AMP lens technology is the result of intensive study and research on the human optical system and its interaction with digital devices. Based on optometric principals developed over years, and fused with the most recent in technological advances from the GUNNAR tech labs, i-AMP lens technology works with and enhances the properties of the human eye. Comprised of a proprietary lens material in an advanced geometry and finished with custom tuned lens tint and coatings, i-AMP lens technology can deliver an immediate and noticeable visual advantage in the short term, and provide both performance and protection in the long term.

klingon 10 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well, actually I got some given to me as a present at Christmas. And, I like them. I am in front of screens all day and I don't know the science etc, but I do (perhaps imagine) a bit less eye-strain. And they look quite cool too. Link to post Share on other sites
@tokyo 14 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Don't know about any glasses but my eyes get real tired due to looking at screens so much. It vexes me. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 not sure about all this. Sounds like a pair of shades to me. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd say somewhat more effective than simply shades. And look at all those cool impressive sounding technical words too! Must be good! Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I might try some, for the PC and also for the excessive use of fluoro lights in this country. I have been in rooms with 50 lights - a combo of spotlights, downlights, fluoro lights, alcove lights. Ergonomically clueless and tiring on the peepers. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 overhead I have 4 fluoro boxes arranged 4 feet apart. All fluoro lighting and wide windows. Not much strain. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yes all that fluoro really gets me too. I like a living room (or restaurant) to be dimly lit and have some atmoshpere. Here, it's sometimes like the opposite. I'd like to try these out as well, interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
