Gunnar Optiks Legend eyeglasses reduce eye fatigue; $79
Gunnar Optiks announced on Monday its Legend eyeglasses, designed to reduce eye fatigue and intended for gamers and others who spend long periods of time in front of the computer.
The aviator-style glasses feature the company’s i-AMP lens technology, which intends to reduce eye fatigue. The i-AMP lenses are made of a proprietary polymer in a “neoscopic” geometry — tuned for short distance, basically — that are also tinted and coated with anti-reflective (glare), hydrophobic (water), oleophobic (oil) and hard (durability) coatings.
The shades are made with Major League Gaming approval (yes, such an organization exists), and from what I can tell, the wrap-around “temple” arms allow a bit more room for wearing headphones at the same time.
I’m told Gunnar also does specialized prescription lenses for those of you who already wear glasses.
The Gunnar Optiks Legend is available now and retails for $79. (At the time of publication, the site lists them for $99.)
