Lol, I almost ordered that bloody thing, then saw several articles about how much waste of money it is. If it's for protecting your eyes from strain then nothing comes close to Crizal anti glare / reflective glass, for which I paid 4 times less than that Gunaar or whatever. Everyone has authority to waste his / her money behind anything, but why waste on a waste?

I upgraded from crizal a2 to gunnar.
This year crizal discontinued their a2 lenses and replaced them with uv Forte which are only good for outdoors(my dad has a pair). This made me to switch to gunnar.

This is definitely much better than crizal a2.

Besides I paid 10k for my crizal ones. Lenses with high refractive index+on the go customizable frame.

It doesn't matter dude, if you like it, that's all that matter.
I am more than happy with A2 anyway :)

I think 4k for lenses alone, default refractive index and frames different.

Those are without power, I'll be blind if I wear those.

I paid 3k for A2. Uv forte was slightly higher.

Your a2 must be default refractive index,my last pair of a2 had slightly higher refractive index.

I got my new glasses custom made with polarized glasses. And it own every other polarized goggles. Even rayban, police, gucci and what not. And its fibre. Not glass. Anti scratch. Blah blah..

Now when i wear it outside in daytime its so cool to look through. No more headaches or aching eyes.

Price 2k.

Only downside is i need to carry my regular glasses too.

I am not the outside kind of person so I don't need polarized or uv forte lenses. I am perfectly happy with my new gunnar and they are very effective. They look pretty swell too.
Btw why do you need to carry your normal glasses. Polarized glasses without power?

Hold on, that Gunaar was with power?
[MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION] : From where? I just need a glass, with power obviously, which will be scratch resistant, any recommendations? My A2 is scratched, and I hate scratches, even the slightest dot bothers me a lot!
Within 5k, max max max.

Yep my pair is with power that's why it took 1 month to build and 15k bucks.

A2 scratched!!?? What sorcery is this? I have used 3 pairs of A2 before this and not one has ever been scratched. I think A2 is scratch resistant.
A2 were great lenses but sadly they discontinued the line this year onwards.

No idea, however I have very little power, 0.25 and 0.75 cylindricals.

Re: Post your latest Purchase

High Refractive Index reduces the thickness of the lens.

Oh, nice, but the only issue is that the local optical salesman won't understand what that means, oh well.

Go to a good optics store and check their essilor/carl zeiss catalog. I am 100% sure they will have lenses of different refractive indexes.
