Anyone know if I can buy these anywhere in Ireland ?

Thanks

GAME used to sell them - if I remember correctly we sold one single pair if MW3 branded gunnar glasses which were selling for €150. I spent a lot of time testing them out, to see if we could justify the high price tag. Physically they're very well made, but practically they're useless. If I were you I'd look elsewhere for glasses that help reduce screen glare.

Thanks for the reply, so are you saying they don't work? Or are you saying they do work, but I could buy the same thing from a different brand way cheaper?

saiint

you could get cheaper ones
different brand
which are alot cheaper
they help abit you could look at the screen longer without headaches but over time staring tele out of it for a while will eventually give you a headache and damage your eyes
be better off gettin sunglasses haha

You know what, no harm in popping into an optician and asking. Not Specsavers, they'll only try and sell you contacts (or at least they do that every time I go in there ), but if you're not already wearing glasses and you're getting strain from the screen, there'd be no harm in getting a check up anyway and I think you can still get it covered on your PRSI.

I don't want to sound like a dick head, but won't it be a bit healthier and cheaper just to feck off from the screen and make yourself tea or have a ****, so that your eyes get sometime to recover?
I personally have to thank my dogs, who constantly make me go off the 3 screens to walk them.

Goto a opticians, and get your eyes checked. Worse they can say is that your eyes are okay. Best they can say is your eyes are f**ked, and if you keep starring at teh screen closely, your headaches will get worse.

And sure you can claim the cost of the eye test back off PRSI!

You never realise just how much colour temperature affects your eyes until you switch from a machine with f.lux enabled to one without.

No. In work I'm always at the computers, and I work 12 hour shifts, so thats not an option. When I'm at home, I'm checking emails, downloading and watching torrents and an avid pc gamer so taking time away doesn't solve the problem.

My eye sight is perfect, it's 20/20. Had to do a medical only 2 weeks ago for a driving license and I could see a spec of **** on a wall at a 100 yards. It's just looking at a screen glare persistantly makes your eyes always feel like you just woke up and in the evenings I get slight headaches that are the result of this.

These glasses obviously take away all the glare so they suit me better. Also I look sexy in glasses, I'll download that program in the meantime until I get myself a pair.

Thanks for replies.
