Online Order FAQs:

Q. What is the leadtime to receive a pair of prescription GUNNARS ordered online?

A. On average, each prescription order takes 3-4 weeks to receive after verifying your prescription.

Q. My prescription is really strong, can you still make it?

A. Please check each frame description to see the suggested prescription range. This range is a general guideline and if your prescription falls within the range then we most likely can make your it. If you find that your prescription falls outside the range, then check another frame or contact our customer service department.

PLEASE NOTE: EACH FRAME HAS A PRESCRIPTION RANGE IN THE DESCRIPTION FIELD. PLEASE CHECK THAT RANGE PRIOR TO ORDERING.

Q. How do I provide my prescription?

A. After checkout we will send you a link to our online form where you can enter your prescription and upload a copy of the actual prescription from your eye care provider. You can either email or fax the copy of your prescription back to us. Please note: We require your prescription to be current. If it is older than 1 year, please visit your nearest authorized Carl Zeiss Vision eye care provider to get it updated.

Q. How does the order process work?

A. After you place an order on our website, you will be sent an email that explains how to submit your prescription.

Two lens options for your Rx needs:

HD SINGLE VISION

Custom Prescription Lenses with i-AMP Lens Technology Exclusively by Carl Zeiss Vision

Designed specifically for single vision (i.e. no “add” power for reading) wearers who are avid computer users or gamers, GUNNAR HD SINGLE VISION lenses provide the clearest vision possible for today’s digital world.

GUNNAR HD SINGLE VISION lenses incorporate Carl Zeiss Vision’s premium customized high-definition optics. With technically superior geometry optimized for each prescription, GUNNAR HD SINGLE VISION lenses deliver unsurpassed clarity and wider peripheral viewing without the compromises of traditional prescription lenses.

GUNNAR’S fRACTYL™ Lens Geometry limits air flow near the eyes, creating a high humidity area which keeps the eyes from drying and prevents irritation.

GUNNAR’S IONIK™ Lens Tint enhances contrast and visual performance while minimizing screen glare and diminishing the harshest parts of the color spectrum.

ERGO HD

Occupational Progressive Lenses Optimized for Computer Use Exclusively by Carl Zeiss Vision

Utilizing the same i-AMP Lens Technology as the GUNNAR HD SINGLE VISION lens, but incorporating addition power, GUNNAR ERGO HD lenses combine Carl Zeiss Vision’s patented high-definition customized lens optics with GUNNAR’S ergonomically designed frames.

Unlike traditional progressive lenses which have a very narrow “sweet spot” for viewing computer screens, GUNNAR ERGO HD lenses are optimized for computer use and provide extra-wide near vision through the bottom of the lens, transitioning to extra-wide intermediate vision through the top of the lens. The result is uninterrupted digital work and play — from keyboard to joystick, monitor to television.

Why GUNNAR Prescription Eyewear Instead of Traditional Prescription Eyewear?

While traditional eyewear serves as a general purpose solution for vision correction, only GUNNAR optimizes all aspects of a prescription for computer viewing.

Gunnar Prescription Glasses with Carl Zeiss Lens Technology

Problem:

General prescriptions are optimized for distance viewing, but computers sit at a close distance, causing eye muscles to flex in order to bring the screen into focus. Furthermore, typical progressive lenses are optimized for distance viewing at the top of the lens and reading distance at the bottom of the lens with a very narrow field appropriate for computer viewing. Extended periods of time with the head and neck locked into position to see through the small field of view causes musculoskeletal strain.

Solution:

GUNNAR Rx solutions are optimized for the computer viewing distance. SINGLE VISION HD lenses provide a continuous, panoramic viewing field across the full height and breadth of the lens. GUNNAR ERGO HD lens is a progressive lens with the upper major field of view optimized for the intermediate distance, and the lower field of view optimized for reading.

Benefit:

Long term comfort increases, allowing longer sessions at the computer, game console, or mobile device without eye muscles straining as hard. Eyes feel less tired, and neck and back can feel less tired. The full extent of the screen appears in sharp, panoramic focus, and details become easier to see.

How Do GUNNARS help alleviate dry eyes?

Problem:

Intense digital viewing reduces blink rate dramatically. With a blink rate that can be from a half to a third of normal, protective tear film breaks up between blinks, leaving eyes irritated, dry and exposed to environmental damage. Long term effects can include abrasion, erosion or even scarring of the cornea. Traditional Rx eyewear sits far out from the face and doesn’t protect the eye from drying air currents.

Solution:

FRACTYL Lens Geometry includes a high degree of curvature. Lenses wrap closely to the face and form a protective barrier from drying air currents while trapping humidity close to the eye.

Benefit:

Eyes feel more comfortable and protected. Dry, scratchy, irritated feeling goes away. In independent third party studies, alleviation of dry eye irritation ranked as the number one improvement brought on by use of GUNNAR eyewear.
