TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
FRACTYL lens geometry includes a specifically tuned focusing power to enhance detail and a highly wrapped lens design that limits air currents near the eye.
PROBLEM: Eye muscles flex to view near objects. Extended near distance viewing without breaks causes cumulative eyestrain, can lead to repetitive stress problems and can even cause possible loss of distance vision. SOLUTION: FRACTYL Lens Geometry focuses light before reaching the eye, allowing eye muscles to relax. 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. In the short term, details are easier to see with the overall image appearing sharper and clearer.
MOST IMPROVEMENT WAS RECORDED IN DRY EYE REDUCTION
PROBLEM: Intense digital viewing reduces blink rate dramatically. With a blink rate that can be from a half to a third 6 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.
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.
The proprietary lens material is optically pure, ensuring the clearest image while eliminating distortion caused by impurities and haze.
PROBLEM: Traditional lens materials force a decision between the benefits of clarity and color control or durability and impact resistance. No other material possesses the best of both. SOLUTION: DIAMIX Lens Material optimizes durability and impact resistance while maintaining the highest degree of clarity and color control. BENEFIT: With minimal haze and ultra sharp optics, DIAMIX lenses appear crystal clear. With a high degree of color control, DIAMIX lenses handle engineered tints and bandpass filters properly with no birefringence or edge effects found in other lens materials. The highly durable material creates stable optics that won’t permanently deform when flexed or degrade over time through repeated use. Offers an optically pure viewing experience with ultralight, ergonomic properties • low density with lighter lenses • higher light transmission rate enhances clarity • higher ABBE value for distortion free viewing • medium index of refraction (1.51) allows for thinner lenses than CR39
TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
IONIK lens tints improve overall contrast and comfort by filtering out harsh artificial light and reducing high-intensity visible light.
PROBLEM: Artificial light from energy efficient computers and overhead fluorescent lighting contains small bands of high intensity energy instead of equally balanced, full spectrum light the human eye prefers to see. SOLUTION: IONIK Lens Tints filter and balance the transmitted spectrum, reducing high energy visible light and warming the overall view. BENEFIT: With harsh, high energy light reduced, more sensitive parts of the eye engage, increasing perceived contrast. Reducing the overall amount of light from a self illuminated screen helps visual recovery and reduces “after image� effects.

AMBER
The signature lens tint that offers the best enhancement of contrast and visual performance while minimizing screen glare and diminishing the harshest parts of the color spectrum.
CRYSTALLINE
The Crystalline lens and coating formula is designed specifically for graphic designers, video/film editors, and creative visual artists that requires an equally balanced color spectrum. If your profession requires you work in true color, then this lens option is for you.
OUTDOOR
Designed to reduce the total light transmitted, this lens excels in harsh or highly lit environments. This tint and coating combination is engineered for digital viewing in bright light and outdoor applications.

TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
The lens coatings are designed to reduce glare and protect the lens. Our coatings include an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and reflections, and a hard coat that reduces environmental damage and minimizes scratching of the lens material.
The premium lens coating technology features three additional functional layers, achieving unparalleled anti-reflective properties, durability and color management.
PROBLEM: Reflections and glare cause visual noise, requiring extra strain to mentally sort between the desired image and non-desired light.
PROBLEM: In the short term, optics of normal lenses degrade due to the buildup of haze inducing oils. In the long term, surface abrasion and damage from use lowers the optical performance.
SOLUTION: i-Fi Lens Coatings have anti-reflective properties that reduce reflections and glare. BENEFIT: Without distracting reflections, the screen appears crisp and clear. While some prescription eyewear has anti-reflective properties on the front portion of the lens, reflected light from the eyeball shows as a distracting element on the backside of the lens. GUNNAR uses the anti-reflection coating on both sides for a crystal clear view.
10
SOLUTION: i-Fi Lens Coatings have an outer, protective hard coat that resists scratching and helps maintain optical integrity over time. Additional treatments prevent oil buildup and promote easy cleaning and care. BENEFIT: Not only do GUNNARS perform beautifully in the short term, they provide excellent optical performance over time.
e-FIT frame technology is an innovative engineering process that combines lightweight materials and adaptable components to create a balanced, ergonomic fit. Lightweight frame and adjustable nosepads make the fit comfortable to any face. The frame features lightweight magnesium alloy materials combined with adjustable nosepads that provide a stable fit while the stems rest comfortably along your temples.
PROBLEM: Long term use of improperly fitting eyewear can cause additional physiological stress. SOLUTION: e-FIT Frame Technology ensures proper fit. All frames are engineered for proper balance, adjustability, and critical ergonomic dimensions. BENEFIT: With proper balance and fit, eyewear “disappears� as it goes on. Each frame can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of faces. Proper balance keeps eyewear in place and optics properly aligned with the eye. Long haul ergonomics ensure comfort throughout extended use.
