It's mainly for eye fatigue.

I bought a pair of Gunnar Onyx for my wife who was suffering from migraines pretty consistently. These glasses helped her until she stopped using them when she set her phone and OS X settings to have blue blocking throughout the day.

I liked the Onyx for myself post-Lasik since I found my eyes were becoming dry while attempting to code all day. I ended up also buying the Gunnar Intercepts Amber Max Tint which have a smaller, less clunky rim while also blocking 98% of blue light.

In combination with allergy drops as needed and now being 6-months post-Lasik, I still occasionally wear my Intercepts when my eyes feel a bit dry/tired/blurry, like they are today.
Don't care what anyone says or the jokes they make, as someone with a degenerative eye disease, these have helped me immensely with eye fatigue and my contacts no longer hurt by the time the day is done.
Will these help me have a 3 KD ratio in Call of Duty?

From what I know it could potentially help you maintain a higher K/D ratio if you are loosing games or are not as responsive from eye strain during long sessions. You could also camp and run a Whitley with piercing vision, that might help too. laugh out loud

What's the deal with blue light blocking glasses being labeled "gaming glasses". I've heard of blocking blue light sources when it's close to bed time and that makes sense but wouldn't you want that added alertness blue light gives during a gaming session? Do you really want water-eyed yawning while gaming? What am I missing?

Agreed. I don't understand it either. Seems like a load of poppycock

Blue light can cause eye strain so these aerodynamic glasses can give you the edge. Only thing missing is Bluetooth capability and a mic.

I dunno. Maybe more protection from excessive screen time. But Gunnar been making gaming glasses way before blue-light blocking became popular at the opticals.

Thanks for that, I never realized my Mac had that setting. Just turned it on, being on it all day I think its bothering my eyes. laugh out loud going to take a bit to adjust to the warmer temp, but maybe it will help me. lol

Ha, glad to help!

I have mine on the night only schedule, but within a few minutes I typically don't even notice it. Unless you're editing photos or watching videos, I doubt you'll notice the shift. 🤞🏽

Oh, and for those on Linux: redshift ftw.

I bought a pair of Gunnar's when I had problems with migraines after getting my first IT job. They helped immediately with the migraines. This was probably from the eye strain as commented above, but I really enjoy the magnification as well. I'm sure any similar glasses would have done the job. I do swear by these types of glasses and using the night adjustments on devices if available. Just wanted to share my experience.

No. It won't help you lose your virginity either.
