Then I got curious and bought the more expensive\u00a0Gunnar gaming glasses. What was so good about the Gunnars that they cost more?<\/p>\n<p><em>Let's start with comparing what\u00a0you get in the box.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/1sqOJvm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gamma Rays Flexlites<\/a>, you get a nice hard case and cleaning cloth.

Is it really worth it to pay more for the Gunnars? Are they THAT much better?<\/p>\n<p>After all, you could get almost 3 Gamma Rays for the regular price of one pair of Gunnars!\u00a0Here's what I thought after using them both for 90 days&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Gamma Ray Flexlite Computer Glasses Review<\/h2>\n<p>OK, let's start with the GammaRays, since I bought them first. Quite honestly, before I put them on, I didn't think that they would work.<\/p>\n<p>But holy shit, after I used them for a couple of hours, they were nothing short of amazing! <strong>I felt so much better because my eyes were not straining as much as usual.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before that, I was using my prescription glasses to work on the computer because I found that I was able to focus better. The funny thing is that I'm nearsighted.<\/p>\n<p>So I can only speculate that the glasses were not actually helping me focus better, but were really\u00a0refracting some of the light from the computer monitor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I haven't used my prescription glasses since getting these glasses.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Gamma Ray Likes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Light, compact frame<\/li>\n<li>Great hardshell case<\/li>\n<li>Lighter tint, making it easier to use over long periods of time<\/li>\n<li>Works well, significantly reduced eye strain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11552\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gamma-ray.jpg\" alt=\"Gamma Ray lens tint\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gamma-ray.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gamma-ray-768x341.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lens tint of the Gamma Ray computer glasses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Gamma Ray Dislikes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Quite a bit of glare, at times<\/li>\n<li>Lenses get dirty easily and are hard to clean<\/li>\n<li>Generic build quality, the lenses have popped out a couple times and a hinge screw had to be reinstalled<\/li>\n<li>Limited eye coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But overall, really solid glasses for the price. Now let's look at the Gunnars&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Gunnar Intercept Computer\u00a0Glasses Review<\/h2>\n<p>Since I had such good results with the Gamma Rays, it got me wondering&#8230;why do the Gunnars cost so much more? Could they be that much better?<\/p>\n<p>Curiosity got the best of me. So I decided to give them a try. Here's what I liked and didn't like.<\/p>\n<h3>Gunnar Likes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Light frame<\/li>\n<li>Works well, significantly reduced eye strain<\/li>\n<li>Solid build quality, something you would expect from Spy Optic or other higher end sunglass manufacturers<\/li>\n<li>Much less glare<\/li>\n<li>Lenses don't get dirty as fast, easy to clean<\/li>\n<li>Great eye coverage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Gunnar Dislikes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost<\/li>\n<li>Would be nice to have a case at that price<\/li>\n<li>Darker yellow tint<\/li>\n<li>A little large for standard cases<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11553\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11553 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gunnar-lenses.jpg\" alt=\"Gunnar lens tint\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gunnar-lenses.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gunnar-lenses-768x341.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gunnar glasses lens tint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So in terms of eye strain, not much difference. Gunnars are also awesome. But the overall build quality is significantly better.<\/p>\n<p>The slightly darker tint makes it a little harder to use over long periods of time. That was the biggest complaint for me.<\/p>\n<p>Which pair is better?<\/p>\n<p>Here is my final decision&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>The Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<p>The decision was a little more difficult than you may think. While I really liked the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/1sqOJvm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gamma Ray Flexlites<\/a>, I had a really hard time getting over the lens smudging and the glare of the lenses.<\/p>\n<p><em>It was a waste of time to have\u00a0to clean the Flexlites frequently. I can only describe it as having a\u00a0mosquito\u00a0buzzing in your ear. A small thing, but really annoying.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So in the end, I have decided to stick with\u00a0and recommend the Gunnar Intercepts. They are worth the extra money&#8230;but just barely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are on a tight budget, then I have no problem recommending the Flexlites. But if you are like me and put a lot of value on quality and removing small annoyances from your day, like fixing and cleaning your glasses, then the Gunnars are for you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Flexlites will probably break in a year or so, with daily use. I have no proof this, but it is just my estimation, based on what I have seen of the build quality. Over time, the Gunnars will probably be a better value.<\/p>\n<h3>Best Gunnar Intercept Case<\/h3>\n<p>But what about the case?<\/p>\n<p>Since I couldn't use the case from Gunnar for this particular model, I decided to look around for a hard case to protect them. The bag is OK, but I've damaged a couple of pairs of sunglasses that way, so I wanted to make sure that my Gunnars were well taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>There are several options out there, but the odd size of these glasses make them a little hard to find a case for. Even if you find a case, they can be pretty bulky.<\/p>\n<p>However, I did find a good solution in these collapsable cases. It is sturdy and have hard sides, but fold up almost flat, so they don't take up a lot of space when you are using the glasses.<\/p>\n<p>The bonus is that it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/1R3rgEs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">costs about $12<\/a>, much cheaper than the Gunnar hardshell case that the Intercepts don't fit in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/1R3rgEs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/folding-glasses-case.jpg\" alt=\"Folding glasses case\" width=\"600\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So if you are suffering from tired eyes during a long trading or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingheroes.com\/backtest-trading-strategy-forex-no-coding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">backtesting session<\/a>, I hope that these computer glasses will help.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Trading!<\/p>\n<h2>Update<\/h2>\n<p>After owning the Gunnars for about a year, they broke in half.
