When you're leading your team into battle, you need to be able to focus on the task at hand — and only the task at hand. Hours of intense gaming can take a toll on your eyes, but that's no excuse when the mission's on the line. The enemy won't be backing down any time soon because you've "got a little something in your eye." Zero in on the mission and keep enemy forces clearly in your sight with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Gaming Eyewear. Remain focused, see more clearly and protect your eyes from visual stress — all while showcasing your MW3 fandom — with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Gaming Eyewear. Featuring an amber lens tint, this eyewear filters out harsh fluorescent light and reduces high-intensity blue light to increase overall contrast, detail and resolution. The highly wrapped, curved lens shape minimizes airflow and maintains moisture near the eyes while providing a slight magnification effect optimized for viewing digital screens, so your eye muscles can relax and zero in on your target without straining. See the game like never before, as the optically pure lens material ensures that you get the clearest image with minimal distortion, impurities and haze. The cool, future warrior-inspired design features a brushed battle-scar finish on a streamlined, lightweight frame crafted from magnesium and aluminum to let you game in style and comfort. After you complete the mission, store your Eyewear in the included Limited Edition Call of Duty MW3 branded pouch and carry it to your next briefing with the included Limited Edition Call of Duty MW3 branded carrying case.

What's great about it: Work as advertised, solid construction.
What's not so great: Overpriced, needs cleaning cloth.
I look at a computer screen all day long and like to game in the evenings but my eyes were often fatigued and the brightness of the hdtv would cause my eyes to tear up after about an hour. I was a bit skeptical about gaming glasses but they do cut down some of the brightness and glare making it easier to keep playing for a longer period of time. I'm very happy with their performance overall but I think they were about $20. too much, and they smudge very easily so I don't understand why a cleaning cloth wouldn't be included. They need to be wiped after every use so I suggest getting one from someplace that sells glasses or sunglasses.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: reduces eye fatigue, reduces glare, quality
I have contact corrected vision to 20/20 and text just recently started to become blurry after 5-10 minutes of reading on the computer (I have a 27" monitor that is pretty bright). I picked up the MW3 glasses yesterday and have noticed a HUGE improvement. It is easier to read and my eyes are less fatigued.
I haven't had a chance to try them while gaming yet, but they are great for anyone who sits in front of their computer all day.
The quality was surprising. These glasses are not a toy. They are built solidly and are very light and comfortable to wear with and without headphones.
Get a pair, you will not regret it!

What's great about it: large viewing lens, flexible frames for everyone, comfortable with gamingheadset (PX5), reduced eye fatigue
What's not so great: none at this time
After reading and reading reviews about gaming glasses I decided to give Gunnar glasses a chance. I'll admit like everyone else I was very skeptic about throwing $100.00 down for a pair of glasses for gaming; however, I'm very happy I did. I am on the computer all day every day at work so when I get home and my friends want to play some MW3, I usually have a headache and don't want to play. I got these glasses yesterday and played a gaming session of bout 9 hours last night and had no fatigue, dry eyes or migrane. At first the yellowish tint to whites is a little odd but you grow to look past it and it doesn't really bother me anymore. Colors really pop especially for MW3 the enemies red names are brighter and vibrant ..much easier to spot people. The main reason i got these instead of the other gunnar optics is that these have a large viewing area and the hard case and soft pouch to store them in. I recommend these glasses for anyone that play games for extended periods of time.

What's great about it: style, built to last, case and pouch
What's not so great: kinda high price
So after reading a few reviews and mainly the one with the customer talking about getting these mostly for work i was sold. Im currently in school for an IT degree and with school and gaming my eyes BURN by the time im done. All i can say is now that i got these i can easily game for 4-5 hours and hop right on homework for hours without the migraine and " ice pick to eyes" pain. At first the yellowish tint to whites is a little odd but you grow to look past it and doesnt really bother me anymore. Colors really pop especially for MW3 the enemies red names are like a NEON sign now...much easier to spot people. The main reason i got these instead of the other gunnar optics is that these have the hard case and soft pouch to store them in. They are $100 glasses...you really want them getting squished?

What's great about it: The MW3 frame is solid and feels like it will be more durable.
Have you ever noticed a bit of a blur or problems focusing after playing your favorite Call of Duty game? I have 20/20 vision but still felt like my eyes were overworked. These gaming glasses are the solution! Once you have used the Amber and Crystalline lenses you can't go back to gaming without them. If you want a more durable feel the MW3 glasses are for you. They are not as flexible as some other Gunnar glasses, but for me that is ideal.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Due to my disabling condition, I can only use one computer setup that puts the monitor very close to my eyes. This often results in dry eyes and headaches. Fortunately, these glasses prevent these problems very well.
Being very into graphics, I didn't like the idea of having a yellow tint on everything I saw. However, I got used to this quickly. It takes only a few seconds for me to forget that there's even a yellow tint. For those skeptical about the yellow tint, I'd suggest you buy this, keep the receipt, and give it a try. Like me, you may learn to quickly forget about the tint. If you don't like it, you can always return it.
Even if you don't get eye fatigue, it's not a bad idea to use these if you spend a lot of time looking at monitors close range. These days, with all the smartphones, tablets, etc. I'm sure these will help prevent future damages to your eyes. Take the words from a guy who's fighting disability. You want to take good care of your body before you develop serious problems.

What's great about it: Solves eye fatigue problem
What's not so great: Nothing
This is simply my opinion about these glasses for what is worth.
I have been having a lot of problems as of late with headaches and eye fatigue from playing games. At the longest, I was able to go roughly 45 minutes to an hour before needing to shut off my gaming system due to my eyes becoming really tired. By pure accident I found these glasses. I read the box and laughed a bit about the claims on the back. I went home and thoroughly researched the company and what others had to say about the types of glasses and what the glasses helped with. For the most part all reviews were positive. I went back the next day, purchased the glasses figuring if I didn't like them I could return them, and went home to try them out. Much to my surprise the glasses helped a lot! After using them for 2 hours straight on my gaming system I did not have any fatigue in my eyes and no headaches! I have used them numerous times since purchasing them and have had no problems!
The glasses are solidly constructed and worth the price ($79 on sale). The glasses have a slight bit of yellow tinting which you get used to quickly. The contrast of the screen is improved and the glare is all but gone. There is a slight magnification to the glasses, but nothing you are going to really notice jumping out at you. These glasses are not the most stylish glasses on the market, but I am not trying to impress anyone with them - I am just trying to solve my eye fatigue problem.
Overall the glasses work for me. I am able to play my games and not suffer headaches or eye fatigue which makes the glasses completely worth the price. I like the results I have seen so far so much so that I will be purchasing a more "stylish" pair to use at the office while working at the computer.

What's great about it: Call of Duty with really cool silver and writing--- improves my vision and was released before MW3!!
What's not so great: Doesn't come with the game
I've been playing Call of Duty and gaming for as long as I can remember and have good eye sight which is why my friend recommended I try these GUNNARS to fight off eye fatigue. With college and uber lots of reading, it was worth a shot. After using these MW3 puppies for a week, I'm loving it. Can't wait for MW3!

What's great about it: Sturdy construction. MW3 branding.
What's not so great: Smudges easily, but that's what the pouch is for.
I have a few pairs of GUNNARS already, but what I really like about the MW3 GUNNARS is the quality of them. The brushed metal frame is super sturdy and comfortable. And love all the MW3 branding - on the side of the frames, on the case, and on the pouch! A definite must for any true MW3 fan.
