Protect those eyes

Creatives spend hours in front of a monitor. That’s why Gunnar invented computer eyeware and started the category. They have a patented solution no one can copy.

Problem: Digital screen viewing can reduce blink rate up to a third of the standard blink rate.

Solution: GUNNAR patented high-wrap optics that sit close to the face and capture humidity near the eye. Eyes stay moist longer in the protected ocular microclimate. In a long term study done at three independent doctors’ locations, alleviation of dry eye irritation ranked as the number one improvement in eye strain.

Gunnar offers a complete range of glasses from sunglasses to computer glasses to readers. Grab a pair and protect those creative eyes of yours.
