Do I need a prescription for GUNNARS if I have 20/20 vision?

GUNNARS off-the-shelf eye glasses are intended for 20/20 or corrected vision and do not require a
prescription, although we highly recommend regular visits with your eye care professional to ensure
the health of your vision. If you require a custom prescription for eye glasses, GUNNAR Rx
program is available. For more information, visit GUNNAR Rx.
What is the difference between GUNNAR Standard Rx and GUNNAR Premium Rx prescription
glasses?
GUNNAR Standard Rx prescription glasses are processed using the latest analog customization
technology for prescription eye glass lenses. GUNNAR Premium Rx prescription glasses are
processed by advanced precision robotic customization technology with additional premium
coatings.
What do I need to order my prescription glasses online?
You need a copy of your prescription to order Rx glasses online. If you do not have a copy of your
prescription available, please visit your eye care professional; they will provide your prescription
and pupillary distance [PD]. Please include your PD or Pupil Distance. We require prescription
details as part of our online Rx glasses purchasing process.
Are GUNNAR Rx prescription glasses covered by my vision insurance?
GUNNAR Rx glasses are covered by most major vision insurance providers including; VSP and
Vision Care Direct (VCD) insurance. For more information, please visit GUNNAR Rx.
How long will it take to receive my prescription eyeglasses?
Prescription orders take 2-3 weeks to process from time of initial order. Most orders will ship from
our optical lab in Southern California, using one of the three major carriers, either UPS, USPS or
Fedex.<br />International orders may take longer due to local government and customs processing.
What does it mean if my prescription is ‘out of range’?
If you receive an ‘out of range’ message, we are unable to process your request because the
prescription falls outside the limitations of our lens shape. Ranges vary by style. If your prescription
is not within range for our custom program, we may not be able to accommodate your order at this
time.
What is different between GUNNAR lens technology and other glasses?
GUNNAR is the only patented computer eyewear recommended by doctors to protect and enhance
your vision during digital use. Our advanced optical technology addresses all issues associated with
digital eye strain, including; dry, irritated eyes, blurred vision, headaches, glare, negative effects of
artificial blue light and eye strain and fatigue. The result – improved clarity, focus and
performance. Learn more about how GUNNARS work.
What is the advantage of Amber lenses?
Our custom tints tune artificial blue light to enhance the physiology of the naked eye, increasing
contrast perception and shifting the color spectrum for visual efficiency. Light from energy efficient
computers and overhead fluorescent lighting consists of narrow bands of high energy light instead
of equally balanced, full spectrum the human eye prefers. Changing the color of your screen or
brightness does not affect the quality of the digital light. GUNNAR lens tints filter and balance the
transmitted spectrum, reducing high energy visible [HEV] light and warming the spectrum. By
reducing harsh blue light, sensitive parts of the eye are engaged, increasing contrast. Filtering blue
light from a backlit screen reduces visual recovery time and protects the eyes.
The Advantage of Yellow Lenses.
Do GUNNAR Computer Glasses have extra focusing power?
GUNNAR lens material has specifically tuned focusing providing your sharper, clearer vision. This
patented lens technology aids natural focusing and reduces stress and strain on your eyes. Less eye
strain reduces digital fatigue and issues associated with prolonged computer use.
What’s the difference between computer eyewear and gaming eyewear?
Our lens technology is optimized for digital use across all of our lens options; Amber, Crystalline,
Outdoor). Many of our Gaming Eyewear frame styles are designed for compatibility with a headset.
Are GUNNARS polarized?
Our lenses are not polarized as they can adversely affect viewing digital screens and even disappear
at certain orientations. Although they are not polarized, our lenses do block damaging UV, high
energy (HEV) visible, blue light and glare.
How will I know a pair will fit me?
You can view glasses styles by frame type, shape, and lens options. Technical specifications and
dimensions for our eyewear can be found on each product page. GUNNAR offers a 14 day Money
Back Guarantee, so if you are not completely satisfied with the eyewear style you select, please
exchange or return for a full refund of the purchase price.
What can I expect from wearing GUNNARS?
Reduction in digital eye strain: dry, tired eyes, blurred vision and fatigue
Decreased glare and screen reflections
Increased contrast and details
Improved focus, productivity and performance
Sometimes I get headaches when I wear glasses. What do I do?
GUNNARS are optimized for 20/20 or corrected vision. If you experience discomfort, we
recommend visiting your eye care professional to see if you would benefit from a custom
prescription. If you require prescription lenses, we can give your eye care professional instructions
or process through our certified optical labs. For more information on our Rx program, please

I am a designer; will the amber tint alter color?
Our proprietary Amber lens tint is tuned specifically to mimic natural light by filtering out the harsh
blue light spectrum. If you work in true color and require unaltered spectral shift, then we
recommend our Crystalline Lens option.
Do the crystalline glasses have a magenta hue?
We use an Anti-Reflective (AR) coating to increase light transmission through the lens allowing for
bright and crisper image detail. We tune our AR coating and select a center for peak reflectance
over a certain parts of the spectrum. Our Amber tint has peak reflectance at 450nm which
corresponds to the increased spike of energy in the blue part of the spectrum from digital screens,
reducing strain on the eyes.
For our Crystalline Lens, we tune the AR coating to reflects closer to 550nm (green). Hence, you
may perceive a slight green on the lens (less than 1% reflectance). The 550nm peak reflectance
counters the natural filtering resulting from our lens material. The result is an equalized balance of
light allowing for truest color necessary for design applications.
Can I exchange my GUNNARS for a different style?
GUNNAR will exchange any returnable or non-RX order within 14 days of the ship date. For all

General prescription eyewear isn't optimized for computer use, it's optimized for distance viewing.
Continued near-focus work, typical of computer use, causes eye muscles to flex over extended
periods of time. This cumulative eyestrain can cause headaches or even long term changes in the
eye. Specialized computer eyewear made with GUNNAR i-AMP technology provides a proper
computer viewing experience. With the correct focusing power provided by your optometrist,
GUNNAR's highly accurate lens design can relieve the effects of digital eye fatigue by relaxing eye
muscles. When used in GUNNAR frames that wrap closely to the face, the eyes are protected from
drying air currents. All GUNNAR lenses are finished with proprietary lens tints and coatings
specifically tuned to optimize the type of light that comes from your computer
GUNNAR STANDARD LENS – SPHERICAL SINGLE VISION RX
Using the latest in analog grinding technology, GUNNAR spherical lenses deliver excellent single
vision performance. Available in Amber or Crystalline tints, each GUNNAR prescription has an
anti-reflective coating designed to minimize distractions and visual noise.
This lens can be made for computer distance vision or everyday use. For computer distance
viewing, please ask your eye doctor to provide you with a computer distance Rx.

GUNNAR PREMIUM LENS – FREE FORM COMPUTER COMPENSATED RX

In a fully automated process, computer generated algorithms calculate refractive geometry while
compensating for the orientation of the lens in the as-worn position. Robotic machinery grinds the
calculated shape. A mechanized polishing process completes the surface and guarantees optics
accurate to 1/100th of a diopter. The engineered coating stack enhances the lens and ensures long
term durability. An additional hydrophobic coating layer helps maintain the surface free from
contaminants. Unlike standard prescriptions which typically only have proper optics at the center,
this compensated design delivers astonishingly clear optics across the entire viewing area of the
lens.
This lens can be made for computer distance vision or everyday use. For computer distance
viewing, please ask your eye doctor to provide you with a computer distance Rx.
