5.0 out of 5 stars Are They Really Worth It?

R. · 16 March 2017

This is my point as a 14 year old guy..I was seeing all of my favorite youtubers wear these so I looked them up along with their hefty price tag. After looking at the reviews and really not knowing if they worked or not I decided to bite the bullet and purchase these glasses with my own money.the glasses arrived and I was eager to try them. Around the 2 day mark I started using them all the time even when i was not using a screen so I was kinda using them like actual glasses. For me I did not notice any of the "marketing techniques" like extra visibility which i guessed was incorrect from the get go. But what I did notice that my eyes did no longer strain and my eyes would no longer hurt when gaming.Now onto the disadvantages paragraph. The glasses are almost unwearable with any headphones including my beats as they feel extremely tight and I take them off after hours of gaming with cuts. So now I just use earphones instead. Also Another thing I hate is that they get dirty way too easy their is marks on them now as I write my review that I cannot be bothered to wipe. The marks tend to annoy me over a long period of time so I have to find the provided cloth to clean them.Overall Although I do like the glasses and are something I wear every single day, the bottom line is that they are just a pair of yellow tinted glasses with a name to them. They do Help me when gaming in the sense of My eyes don't get tired and hurt. Now you can make the decision of weather these glasses are worth the price tag of £44 when I purchased but I do see they have gone down to £39. Also just a note, If you do Decide to buy them, get them in a cool color and not just plain black like me.thanks for Reading and Please hit that helpful button below, Have a great day!!

Very nice glasses, they actually do offer protection from blue light emitted from monitors. They are comfortable enough if you have a large enough headset otherwise it might cause some headaches after prolonged use. In general they are worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really soothing to the eyes

They’re really good pair of blue light glasses and they’re soothing for the eyes but, it can take some time to get used to the amber maxes. So I’d recommend the 65% or lower.

Best driving glasses to suppress the new type of blueish headlights. Makes driving like it used to be in 1980s.

1.0 out of 5 stars Significant distortion

D. · 1 October 2018

In the beginning it felt that it really helped to take off a lot of strain from the eyes while working in front of the computer. However, after a while I’ve noticed that it not just blocks particular light spectrum but has quite a lot of distortion as well. Actually, so much that now I even started to think that it had a negative impact on my eyesight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great glasses, they do exactly what says on the tin... But they're just not comfortable enough.

T. · 12 December 2016

Right. So I have fairly perfect vision, yet for some reason I suffer severely from dry, painfully itchy eyes after any significant length of gaming, and I CANNOT go without my gaming. So anyway I thought I'd give these a crack and f*** me they work! Don't get me wrong, these will not improve your game but if, like me, your eyes just get majorly screwed up the longer you play then these will significantly improve your experience.Upon wearing them for the first time, you'll notice that everything seems a tad brighter and much clearer. There is a slight magnification, +0.2 if i remember correctly, which i find useful not having to sit so close to the screen. The lenses on these glasses are where the magic happens. My eyes feel almost warmer/more humid when wearing these, thus stopping my eyes drying out all together as i basically stop blinking when I'm smashing some serious Uncharted 4 online (blink and you're basically as good as dead).So yea, they do exactly as advertised, EXCEPT for one small things. These Gunnar Intercept glasses should not be marketed as gaming glasses, because gaming glasses should be comfortable to wear for extensive periods of time... of which these are not. They're ok for about an hour or two and then you really start to notice them digging into your scalp and the bridge of your nose. Not to say that makes these un-usable, they're fine if you can deal with that digging in feeling, but I can safely say I'll be buying the much more lightweight MLG branded pair of Gunnars and handing these down to my girlfriend as soon as I can afford to do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value for what you pay

D.A. · 12 October 2018

These glasses are extremely cheap, and it doesn't show in the quality of the product. I've used Gunnar's for a long time, and recently decided to get another pair to switch up the style. I also own the Gunnar Scope model.Design-wise these look great, and I like them a lot more than the Scope's. Comfort-wise, I prefer the Scope's. If you're wearing a headset or a pair of headphones, these will definitely do your head in.Despite the discomfort, I will give them 5 stars. They live up to what they claim to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great - works as advertised

Softens the light and really helps with keeping eye fresh

Nice and comfortable with good FOV

I've owned a Gunnar MLG Phantom before and it really helps with eye stress when looking at monitors for a long period of time because my right eye was injured before, but the my problem with the Phantom was the lens being too small. And it does have a slight magnification that might not be for everyone but it helps with texts.Been using the Intercept for a few months and the lens is basically the same on my Phantom but much bigger and wider and doesn't look as " Gamery "? But it does still have a distinct difference from normal spectacles because of the amber tint, compared to my Phantom i would say this is way more suitable for me but one down side is that it might not feel comfortable with some headphones.

Fantastic blue blocker glasses at great price

D.B. · 15 October 2025

Found about these from the blue blocker database, finding it available in my country was a bonus.Build quality is good.The orange lenses was something to get used to, but I really like the vibe it gives you while wearing them.What surprised me the most, is just how light these feel while wearing them. It makes for a very comfortable fit but also you can wear them for hours because of how light they are.As for the reason I got them, blue light filtering. Mostly at night indoors, but they actually work great outdoors as well. Not as dark as the regular black/grey lens glasses, but it does make it much easier on my blue eyes that are sensitive to bright light.

Óculos Gunnar

Após uma semana de uso sinto os olhos menos cansados, e não ficam mais vermelhos após passar o dia trabalhando no computador. Estou gostando!

Quality is going down

V.G. · 14 July 2020

My first couple pairs of Gunnar's were amazing. The quality just feels like it is constantly going down though. It's nice that they include a soft case and cleaning cloth... But I rather have better quality frames.Pros:Definitely helps with eye fatigueI love the shape of the framesLenses work fineCons:Frames are cheap plasticI prefer the old Raven ones that were all black

nice built quality
