ADJUSTING TO YOUR GUNNAR GLASSES

Adapting to your new GUNNAR glasses may take some time, especially for users who need to become more familiar with higher-wrap eyewear that sits close to the face. Some of the mild effects that you could experience:

• Difficulty focusing on distant objects through your new prescription
• Mild visual distortions, such as a “fishbowl effect” that makes the edges of your field of vision slightly bent
• Difficulties with depth perception
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Headaches

These effects should be temporary. Most commonly the adaptation period will last two to three days, but, for some users, can last up to two weeks. Here are a few tips to make the adjustment smooth:

Wear your new GUNNARs early in the day. Your eyes and brain are less tired and can more readily adjust to new tasks.

• Don’t wear your GUNNARs for general-purpose use. Put them on for computer or gaming and take them off for general multitasking.

• Be consistent. Avoid the temptation to use your old glasses on the computer. Your brain and eyes work together. Training them both is important and inconsistency will delay the adaptation process.

• Keep your lenses clean. Any additional visual noise will make it harder to see the screen. With a more wrapped frame and lens, smudges or lens noise becomes more apparent.

If any of the effects last longer than two weeks, or if you experience severe headaches or migraines, consult your eye care professional. They can help diagnose the problem.

CARING FOR YOUR GUNNAR GLASSES

Clean Regularly: Clean your glasses daily with a microfiber cloth to remove dust, oil, and debris.

Additional cleaning options:

• Clean with soap and water

  • Start by rinsing them with room-temperature water.

  • Then, apply a small amount of dish soap, gently rubbing it onto both the frame and lenses.

  • Rinse the soap off thoroughly with room temperature water

  • Finally, dry your glasses using a clean microfiber cloth.

• Apply eyeglass cleaner directly to your glasses’ lenses. Then, dry by using a clean microfiber cloth.

• Gently wiping them with approved lens wipes. Then, dry by using a clean microfiber cloth.

Avoid Exposure to Chemicals: Avoid using products like household glasses cleaners, and solutions that contain alcohol. They can damage the lens coatings.

Handle Carefully: Whether storing your glasses or traveling, utilize your GUNNAR Pouch or GUNNAR Case to safeguard your glasses.

Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular appointments with your eye care professional to ensure your prescription is up-to-date.

By following these tips, you can extend the lifespan of your GUNNAR glasses and keep them looking and functioning their best.
