The Gunnar World of Warcraft, Alliance Edition glasses are designed to block blue light and 100% of UV. They list for $99 on the Gunnar website, but are, as of this writing, just $86.81 on Amazon. I’ve covered Gunnar glasses before, including the potential benefits of blocking blue light from displays, and these are more of the same, just with the associated World of Warcraft FOR THE ALLIANCE theme.
As expected, these glasses are attractive and well-built, with a polymer frame (in this case, Blue Crystal), metal temples, flexible spring hinges, and the G-Shield Plus lens coating, which is anti-reflective, smudge resistant, and oleophobic (repels oils). The lenses are available in standard GUNNAR-Focus or Prescription. These are GUNNAR-Focus with an Amber tint that block 65% of blue light at 450nm. Per usual, I found them to make viewing my desktop displays more pleasing and a good way to give my eyes a break during long working (or gaming) sessions.
Besides the attractive styling, the lens has a tiny Alliance crest on the lower right lens. It looks nice, and, more importantly, was never present in my view. Included is a themed soft lens case, as well as a magnetic paperboard case. Overall, it’s a fun, themed package paired with very nice glasses.
