I did a review a while back for a pair of Gunnar Optiks and was pleasantly surprised at the results. It seems the company has entered the market at just the right time, a year or so before the release of the world’s biggest 3D experience. That’s positioned it well to take on 3D glasses, a sector that is historically plagued by poor aesthetics and a dearth of options for prescription wearers.
The first pair of designer 3D eyewear will be available in Q2 this year, a month or so later for the prescription versions, starting at $90. It’s a big price tag, but they’ll keep you from looking completely ridiculous, and if you’re just buying them for yourself I think it’s a justifiable cost.
In case you need a little more reassurance, here’s Joe Croft, the company’s co-founder: “While typical 3D eyewear is stamped from a flat sheet of plastic, GUNNAR lenses are shaped, formed and cut to provide distortion free optics.”
