Basically gaming glasses I might get some of they reduce eye strain I get a headache after playing for too long. Yes I realize it's because I play in the dark mostly so there is huge contrast between the screen and room but whatever.

Brb buying them.

[JoshSP1985]

I may get them just because I like being a nerd sometimes but $80.00 might have my girl get them for Christmas :P

[WWUCasey]

TB's are turtle beaches. Gaming headset, they cost about 80 bucks as well.

Oh yea I have X11s I thought you were referencing another eyewear brand.

[raantok]

Why not just lower your screen brightness / contrast?

just the way the tinting works the light refraction gets... muted, I guess, so you almost don't even have to focus. kind of weird to put it in words, but I don't know, I guess I felt my face relax? guess that its supposed to help you in one way or another.

yeah ditto. not sure what that has to do with the topic....maybe he wanted to brag his tbs?

not even, I have the 3.1's, and from a gaming standpoint I was saying that those are much more helpful than a pair of glasses which is what I was trying to say about picking those over gunnars. sorry if it came off like that guise.

You can get the same working glasses at walmart for 1/8 the price, dont waste your money

[JoshSP1985]

My pair should be showing up today... will update with a review

[JoshSP1985]

2 Hours before dinner 3 hours after with Vivid setting on the TV and no tired eyes or headaches.

They don't really make you see things better and you don't even notice them after you get used to the slight amber color. They do appear however to actually do what they say which is reduce eye strain and keep you from getting sore eyes/eye stress related headaches.


With that said I'm not sure if they do the same thing as hunting/shooting glasses do or not.
