Science behind the lens

GUNNAR Advanced Gaming Eyewear is powered by its i-AMP lens technology composed of a proprietary lens material in an advanced geometry tuned for intermediate viewing distance and finished with custom formulated lens filters, tints, and coatings.

GUNNARS help to reduce eye fatigue, computer vision syndrome, and work great in aiding visual ergonomics. For more information please visit: gunnars.com/technology

How they work

The yellow or amber lens tint is a crucial component of i-AMP lens technology. The tint is designed to improve overall contrast, detail, and resolution by filtering out harsh fluorescent light and reducing high-intensity blue light. The result is a warmer, more natural light spectrum that minimizes the stress on your eyes resulting in improved visual comfort and focus.

Why should you care?

By reducing the stress on your eyes and creating an enhanced, and more comfortable visual environment, you will be able to sustain focus and alertness during extended computer or gaming sessions.

Understanding the Technology:

Lens Tint:

The Amber lens tint is designed to increase overall contrast, detail, and resolution by filtering out harsh fluorescent light and reducing high-intensity blue light. The result is a warmer, more natural light spectrum that minimizes the stress on your eyes, supporting sustained focus and alertness during marathon gaming sessions.

Lens Shape:

The highly wrapped, curved lens shape limits air currents near the eyes, creating a higher humidity environment. This increased moisture helps reduce dry eyes and prevent irritation. The lens geometry pre-focuses the light to help support the eye’s natural focusing power to enhance detail for sharper, clearer vision.

Lens Material:

The proprietary lens material is optically pure for the clearest image possible and composed of lightweight materials for long-haul ergonomics

Lens Coatings:

The lens coatings are designed to reduce glare and protect the lens. Our coatings include an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and reflections, and a hard coat that reduces environmental damage and minimizes scratching of the lens material.
