The document provides information about GUNNAR advanced computer eyewear and gaming eyewear products. It discusses the company's proprietary lens technologies including FRACTYL lens geometry, DIAMIX lens material, IONIK lens tints, and i-Fi lens coatings which are designed to enhance visual performance, reduce eye fatigue, and protect vision. It also summarizes the features of various GUNNAR eyewear models including lens materials, frame designs, and color options. Prescription lens options from GUNNAR and Zeiss are also detailed.

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.
TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
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.
PROBLEM:
Intense digital viewing reduces blink rate dramatically.
With a blink rate that can be from a half to a third
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.
MOST IMPROVEMENT WAS RECORDED IN DRY EYE REDUCTION
7. 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 possess-
es the best of both.
SOLUTION:
DIAMIX Lens Material optimizes durability and impact resistance while main-
taining 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 warm-
ing the overall view.
BENEFIT:
With harsh, high energy light reduced, more sensitive parts of the eye engage, increasing perceived con-
trast. Reducing the overall amount of light from a self illuminated screen helps visual recovery and reduces
“after image” effects.

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.
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.
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.

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 be-
tween the desired image and non-desired light.
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.
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 an outer, protective hard coat that resists scratching
and helps maintain optical integrity over time. Additional treatments pre-
vent oil buildup and promote easy cleaning and care.
BENEFIT:
Not only do GUNNARS perform beautifully in the short term, they pro-
vide excellent optical performance over time.
11. 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 adjust-
ed 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.

Unrivaled is an understatement. In a process free from human error, computer generated algo-
rithms calculate refractive geometry. Robotic Machinery grinds the calculated shape. Automatic
polishing completes the grinding and guarantees optics accurate to 1/100th of a diopter. An
engineered coating stack enhances the lens and ensures long term durability. Pure Coat™, a Zeiss
exclusive, combines multi-layer anti-reflective properties with a durable hard coat. Hydropho-
bic and oleophobic layers help maintain the surface free from surface contaminants. A blend of
GUNNAR technology and the legendary engineering of Zeiss, the result is vividly clear.... preci-
