Gunnar Optiks E-sports N-QUERY Review


Posted by Shane Dickson (Oregon Slacker), Yesterday

Intro:

Are you a serious gamer who spends most of every breath behind a computer screen?  Maybe you’re just a hard worker who has a job where the task of typing on a keyboard is a 9-5 necessity of life.  Both of these activities seem to be more prevalent in the digital age, and have had a serious impact on our society’s health.  The lights in offices and homes continually pound our corneas with unnatural light, and when combined with the constant focusing it takes to see objects on a monitor we are slowly just wearing our bodies down day by day.  It’s no wonder that many computer users alike are suffering from consistent migraines, dry eyes and plain eye fatigue from the strain our eyes have to endure daily.

About Gunnar Optiks:

Gunnar Optiks has the solution for you with their indoor line up of glasses, and what’s even better is, it’s a great excuse to look cool indoors and outdoors as well.  Gunnar Optiks has taken the science of light transmission to a whole new level, wrapping their lenses in protective coating to help filter the negative wavelengths that might damage your eyes while also adding an anti-reflective coating to help you see things more clearly and incorporating ergonomic properties to combat dry eyes by trapping in humidity while blocking out evaporative air currents. 

The glasses can be made to fit your own needs and have several customizations available as well as many different styles to choose from.  One example being that  RX prescription lenses can be made to fit into the Gunnar glass frames should you decide the slight magnification of the off the shelf one’s are not ideal for you.  There are also different tints to choose from depending on whether you want to increase the contrast of different screens to sharpen your visual experience (i.e. gaming) , or if you find the tints might interfere with your tasks, you can always choose the crystalline tint, so that the lens give you the real true to life colors, which is ideal for video editors and artists. Each pair has added filters, and is made to also help protect the glasses from physical damage and smudges, so that you can get the maximum life out of your glasses.

 Our Rating for Gunnar Optiks E-sports N-QUERY Review
8.5
Feel
These glasses seem a bit flimsy, but are so lightweight and comfortable you can barely notice you have them on, even with a hat and headset on.
9.0
Usability
Great for gaming and hardcore computer sessions, slight tint and magnification helps eyes relax, which equates to lesser migraines from eye fatigue.
8.5
Playability (controllers)
The amber tint took a little getting used to, but has definitely made spotting targets in FPS seem a little more easier.
8.5
Overall
I truly enjoy the Gunnar’s I own, minimizing my migraine time, maximizes my gaming time, needless to say I will be wearing them at home and at all events that I attend in the future!
