GUNNAR Optiks Cupertino glasses review: say hello to your new best friend

Whether you're a gamer, a coder, or just someone who loves to binge-watch the latest shows, you know the struggle of staring at screens all day.

Migraines, tired eyes, ocular discomfort: those are very familiar frustrations that come with spending a vast amount of time facing screens. Enter the GUNNAR Optiks Cupertino glasses - a game-changer in the world of blue light protection. These babies are here to save your eyes and look good doing it.

But the best thing is, these glasses aren't just for screen time. The Cupertino glasses come with four different lenses to make sure your eyes are protected where you go, whatever you're doing.

Stylish and comfy

Forget those clunky, nerdy glasses that scream "I'm just here for the computer." The Cupertino glasses are all about style with substance. The acetate frame is both sturdy and lightweight, making it feel like you're wearing a cloud on your face. Plus, the classic design means you can rock these glasses anywhere - be it a Zoom meeting, a coffee shop, or your gaming den.

The Cupertino glasses come with an interchangeable lens system that's as easy as pie. With a quick magnetic click, you can switch between different lenses to suit your needs. Here's the lowdown on the lens options:

- Clear Pro: Perfect for when you need to see true colors without the amber tint. Ideal for creative pros like animators and designers.

- Amber: This classic GUNNAR lens cuts down on blue light while giving everything a warm, cozy glow.

- Sun: Heading outdoors? Pop in these lenses for 100% UV protection and reduced glare. Hello, sunny adventures.

- Amber Max: The ultimate blue light blocker with a GBLF (Gunnar Blue Light Filter) rating of 98. Perfect for marathon screen sessions.

Complete comfort for any activity

If you need prescription lenses, GUNNAR’s got your back. The Cupertino glasses are available in prescription options, so you don’t have to choose between eye protection and clear vision. You get the best of both worlds.

Fun but true fact: because the Cupertino is available in prescriptions, it has turned into my everyday glasses. I drive with them, I go out in the sun with them, I wear them at home to see, I wear them for work. I love them. I can't recommend them enough.

Plastic frames usually get a bad rap, but the Cupertino glasses are here to change that. Despite being plastic, they're super comfy and stay put without those annoying pressure points. You can wear them for hours and forget they're even there. Sure, metal frames with flexible hinges are nice, but these glasses hold their own and then some.

The real hero here, though, is GUNNAR's patented lens technology. These lenses block blue light wavelengths, reducing eye strain, fatigue, and the risk of long-term damage. Your eyes will thank you at the end of a long day of work or play. With anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coatings, the Cupertino glasses offer a clear, distortion-free view. No more annoying glare or smudges messing up your screen time. It's like looking through freshly cleaned windows - pure clarity.

Final verdict: worth every penny

At $175 for a pair of lenses and $200 for the full lens set, these glasses are an investment in your eye health. Sure, they might seem pricey, but considering the protection and versatility they offer, it's money well spent. Think of it as a long-term investment in your productivity and comfort.

The GUNNAR Cupertino glasses are a fantastic addition to your digital life. With their sleek design, comfort, and cutting-edge lens technology, they’re a comprehensive solution for anyone who spends significant time in front of screens.
