If you stare at computer screens all day and/or notice eye strain, fatigue, or you just want to protect your eyes, meet Gunnar Optiks. I've been using them for about a week or so and I have say these glasses work really really well. When I take them off I noticed a huge difference with regards to glare, heat, fatigue, contrast, etc. A must for any programmer, hacker, web-dev, etc. I recommend them to anyone who's job primarily requires you to stare at some kind of digital screen.
Here is the FAQ off their website, as many people ask me these same questions. They run from $60-$100+ and can be found on Amazon, though I reccomend trying them on first at one of their retailers. The model in the picture is called Weezer.
