Every once in a while, I come across something that I did not realize I needed to own, and end up not being able to live without. Recently, I had such an occasion. A friend of mine introduced me to the Owner of Gunnar Optiks, who has created a line of glasses that have been scientifically optimized for long hours of staring at a computer screen, perfect for those of us who play dozens of hours a week online. I am not exactly sure how all the science works, but I can tell you my experience with them. They eliminated all of the strain in my eyes. Usually, if I play more then 3 or 4 hours in a row, my left eye will always get this big red line in it from the strain, but I was playing 8-10 hours straight with the glasses a few weeks a go for the Bluff challenge and no big red line or strain feelings at all. In fact, it almost feels like my eyes are at a spa or something, it really is that relaxing. I also felt that because of the lack of strain or dry eyes, I felt sharper for longer. I really think that many of you would benefit from this type of investment and wanted to pass it along to you so you can check it out!

They have much better explanations of the science behind the glasses on the website!

lol @ gank blaming red lines in his eyes on the computer screen.
“But, officer, they’re not bloodshot. It’s a, uh, …. occupational hazard?”
