Why You Need Gunnars
People who use any kind of computer screen, including those on a Blackberry, cellular telephone (text messaging) or other digital handheld device, are at increased risk of developing Digital Eye Fatigue (DEF) or Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). The American Optometric Association recognizes CVS as a condition caused by repeatedly stressing some aspect of the eyes or visual system.
It’s this constant stress on the eyes and visual system that causes the symptoms of DEF and CVS, which include blurred vision, headache, eye strain, dry eyes, difficulty focusing the eyes at various distances, double vision, light sensitivity and neck and backaches.
To meet this growing and important need as people of all ages experience more time with digital devices, Gunnar Optiks has developed a revolutionary line eyewear based on patent-pending lens technology, specifically formulated to combat the effects of DEF and CVS.
Gunnar proprietary lens technology lets you spend more time working or playing at the computer without feeling the adverse effects often associated with doing so. Gunnar i-AMPTM technology relaxes the occular muscle responsible for focusing one's eyes at close distances. By putting this muscle more at ease, strain is reduced, and productive time increased. Innovative Gunnar frames and lenses increase the moisture pocket around the eyes, virtually eliminating dry eyes. Patent-pending i-AMPTM technology includes a scientifically formulated amber tint to eliminate additional stress placed on the eyes from external light sources such as pervasive flourescent lighting systems. The unique Gunnar anti-reflective coating has also been specially formulated to contribute to the delivery of the most comprehensive over-the-counter solution available today to address the effects of Digital Eye Fatigue and Computer Vision Syndrome.
