apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The funny thing is we've been seeing billboards of these glasses and thought they were just some strangely, ill-conceived marketed Oakley wanna-be; they mention "digitally designed", but give no indicator that their design is aimed at helping the average pixel pusher (and perhaps avid gamer) keep their eyes healthy.

The folks over at MedGadget gave Gunnar Optiks a modest seal of approval (the build quality is noted as lightweight, but not overly impressive); there line seems to embody "office dude chic", but improve reducing harsh blue light while also providing a +1.25 magnification with an anti-reflective coating that reduces eye fatigue. We're a little baffled about the design of these glasses, as we couldn't imagine ourselves wearing these without feeling like we should be playing beach volley ball or asking Lance to go out for a ride, no matter how much good they do our eyes. Give us the "old fashioned grammar teacher" look...we'd prefer it, even if our lenses make us look like extras from the next installment of Mission Impossible.
