wavelength blue light and glare from the screen. Artificial light from energy efficient computers and overhead fluorescent lighting contains small bands of high intensity energy instead of equally balanced, full spectrum light the human eye prefers to see. The unbalanced, high energy light waves cause visual strain, headaches and visual fatigue. Gunnar’s Ionik Lens Tints filter and balance the transmitted spectrum, reducing high energy visible light and warming the overall view. With harsh, high energy light reduced, more sensitive parts of the eye engage, increasing perceived contrast.

Reducing the overall amount of light from a self-illuminated screen helps visual recovery and reduces “after image” effects. Improper office or room lighting can also induce symptoms of computer vision syndrome. Most offices are equipped with too much light, often in the form of bright overhead fluorescent lights. Overhead lighting can cause glare on computer screens. These reflections and glare causes visual noise, requiring extra strain to mentally sort between the desired image and non-desired light. Gunnar ‘s i-Fi Lens Coatings have anti-reflective properties that reduce reflections and glare. gamecca53

By reducing and eliminating these distracting reflections, the screen appears crisp and clear. While some prescription eyewear has anti-reflective properties on the front portion of the lens, reflected light from the eyeball shows as a distracting element on the backside of the lens. GUNNAR uses the anti-reflection coating on both sides for a crystal clear view. Gunnar Eyewear is also prescription compatible. The prescription lens program is supported and administered by Carl Zeiss Vision, the worldwide leader in precision optics for the last 160 years. g
