Closer Look

SteelSeries have never been a company to over market a product by the way they describe it, the following aspects that I will describe about these glasses are proven methods so please absorb them in this way. This isn't marketing speak!


SteelSeries Scope from the front


The shape and design of the frames GUNNAR have used with SteelSeries scope is what they call FRACTYL™. Put simply, the frames have a wrap that limits the airflow around the eyes thus causing moisture and warmth around the eyes to prevent dryness/irritation. The lens are iONik NEOscopic which have been fine tuned for computer usage and in particular - close contact or close viewing applications which is ideal for most of us who spend hours looking at the screen of a computer. You should have already recognised that the SteelSeries Scope lens have an amber tint, GUNNAR have used this colour of to improve contrast, this will relax the eye by providing a spectrum of warmth. This means your eyes are doing less work so tiredness and eyestrain should be reduced. The lens also have a coating that is anti-reflective to prevent as much glare as possible, this coating also features a layer that protects against smudging, finger-prints and scratches.


GUNNAR branding and Onyx/Carbon construction


From the side you can see the arms have a plastic coating that has a leather stitch appearance. Picking these glasses up you realise just how light they really are - 20g. Of course being lightweight they are thin and aren't the most robust set of glasses around, but since you won't be wearing these outside of the house they are fit for their usage. Wearing them for hours whilst sat at a computer its essential they are comfortable and lightweight.
