Gunnar is a pioneering brand specializing in visual protection glasses designed for digital screen use. Known for its patented lenses, Gunnar offers effective blue light filtering and eye strain reduction solutions.
The Gunnar concept began in 2003 when Matt Michelsen experienced headaches from extended screen use. With his wife Jennifer and optical engineer Joe Croft, the first prototype was created in 2006, and the brand officially launched in early 2007. Gunnar Optiks became the first brand to offer eyewear specifically engineered to reduce digital eye strain ([gunnar.com](https://gunnar.com/pages/about), [gunnar.fr](https://www.gunnar.fr/qui-sommes-nous), [en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunnar_Optiks)).
Gunnar lenses are amber-tinted, curved, and feature a slight focusing effect. They block blue light, enhance contrast, and reduce dry eye symptoms thanks to their wraparound design. They are also treated with anti-reflective coatings ([gunnar.com](https://gunnar.com/pages/about), [gunnar.fr](https://www.gunnar.fr/qui-sommes-nous)).
Gunnar’s lineup includes gaming, office, outdoor, youth, and prescription-ready glasses. The brand has launched special collections in partnership with Marvel, Activision, Razer, Ubisoft, Blizzard, and ESL ([gunnar.com](https://gunnar.com/pages/about), [gunnar.fr](https://www.gunnar.fr/qui-sommes-nous)).
The lens technology is patented since 2006–2007 and developed with optical and medical expertise. No specific sustainability (environmental or social) commitment is mentioned in the official sources consulted.
Gunnar products are distributed worldwide through the brand’s website, optical retailers, resellers, and B2B and educational programs. Products are available both online and in physical stores ([gunnar.com](https://gunnar.com/pages/about), [gunnar-optiks.eu](https://gunnar-optiks.eu/fr/about-us)).
