NEWS: Clix and Gunnar Optiks Unveil Next-Gen Gaming Glasses for Serious Players

By Jon Donnis

Cody "Clix" Conrod, one of Fortnite's most electrifying players, has levelled up his partnership with Gunnar Optiks by launching his very own Clix Gaming Goggles. Priced at $74, these high-performance glasses are designed to enhance vision, reduce eye strain, and help gamers stay sharp during marathon sessions. The announcement, made during the Fortnite Grand Finals, marks the latest chapter in Clix's rise from teenage prodigy to esports sensation.

Clix first made waves in the Fortnite scene at just 14, becoming one of the youngest players to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup. His aggressive playstyle, lightning-fast reflexes, and strategic brilliance quickly made him a fan favourite. Now 19, Clix has built a massive following on Twitch and YouTube, where millions tune in to watch him dominate the competition. His influence extends beyond the game, with collaborations, merchandise, and now, his own line of gaming glasses.

The Clix Gaming Goggles are more than just a stylish accessory. They are engineered for peak performance, blending innovation with Clix's signature style. The frames are crafted from a hybrid of Premium Engineered Polymer (PEP) and stainless steel, balancing lightweight comfort with durable strength. The sleek, square design mirrors Clix's modern aesthetic, while multi-spring hinges ensure long-lasting flexibility for extended gaming sessions.

What sets these glasses apart is Gunnar's patented lens technology, which blocks harmful blue light and 100 percent of UV rays. The G-Shield Plus lens coating is anti-reflective, smudge-resistant, and oleophobic, keeping vision clear and focused even during the most intense matches. The lenses also enhance contrast and reduce eye strain, giving players a crucial advantage when split-second decisions can mean victory or defeat.

To celebrate the launch, the first 1,000 orders come with a limited-edition Clix case and an entry into a raffle to play Fortnite with Clix himself. Each pair also includes a collector's microfibre pouch, cleaning cloth, and a 12-month warranty, making the goggles as practical as they are powerful.

Clix's journey from gaming phenom to industry innovator is a testament to his dedication to the esports community. His collaboration with Gunnar Optiks reflects his commitment to helping fellow gamers perform at their best while protecting their vision. Whether you're grinding for the next Victory Royale or just looking to game in style, the Clix Gaming Goggles are built to help you play like a pro.

GUNNAR Optiks has teamed up with Blizzard to kick off 2025 with a killer collaboration, bringing Overwatch fans a pair of gaming glasses inspired by the shadowy DPS legend, Reaper. These officially licensed glasses blend style, comfort, and cutting-edge lens technology, making them a must-have for both marathon gamers and anyone spending long hours in front of a screen.

The design is a standout feature. The matte black frame, forged from precision-engineered polymer, has a military-inspired look that feels tough and stylish. The high-wrap design offers full coverage, shielding your eyes from every angle, while the Reaper logo adds a subtle, badass touch for dedicated Overwatch players. Despite the bold design, the glasses are incredibly lightweight, and the multi-barrel hinges provide flexibility and durability, ensuring they stay comfortable during extended sessions.

Performance-wise, GUNNAR’s patented lens technology is second to none. The amber lenses block 65% of blue light at 450nm and offer 100% UV protection, drastically reducing digital eye strain and fatigue. Whether you’re grinding ranked matches or tackling a work project, your eyes stay sharp and focused. The G-Shield® lens coating adds an extra layer of functionality, cutting down glare, resisting smudges, and keeping your vision crystal clear without constant cleaning.

GUNNAR even throws in some bonus gear, including a custom microfiber pouch and cleaning cloth, so you can keep your glasses in top condition. It’s a thoughtful touch that adds value to an already impressive package.

REVIEW: GUNNAR Dume Gaming Glasses, Gold Frame and Amber Lens

Review by Jon Donnis

The latest GUNNAR Dume computer glasses are an excellent choice for anyone spending long hours in front of a screen. With a lightweight aviator design and a brushed gold finish, these glasses strike the perfect balance between style and functionality. The modern detailing on the temples adds a sleek touch, making them just as suitable for everyday wear as they are for gaming or work.

One of the standout features is the amber-tinted lenses, which not only look great but are also incredibly effective at reducing eye strain. Whether you're deep into a gaming session or tackling a full day of work, the GUNNAR lens technology with a Blue Light Protection Factor of 65 helps shield your eyes from harmful blue light and 100% of UV rays. This makes a noticeable difference in comfort, especially during late-night screen time.

The stainless-steel frame feels sturdy yet comfortable, with adjustable nose pads for a customised fit. The multi-barrel hinges add durability, so you can trust these glasses to hold up over time. Plus, the included accessories, a quad-fold case, microfibre pouch, and cleaning cloth, show the attention to detail that GUNNAR is known for.

Overall, these glasses deliver on every front, blending eye protection with a sophisticated design. We're consistently impressed with GUNNAR's releases, and the "Dume - Gold - Amber" glasses are no exception. They look fantastic, feel great to wear, and offer top-tier blue light protection, making them a must-have for gamers, creatives, or anyone glued to a screen. Personally when looking for glasses, I am unsure if I would ever look anywhere other than GUNNAR, just consistently good glasses, from the feel, the look and most importantly the fact they really do reduce eye strain, they are just about perfect.

REVIEW: Campbell and Fremont Office/Gaming Glasses from Gunnar Optiks’ Luma Collection

Review by Jon Donnis

Gunnar Optiks continues to lead the way in blue light-blocking eyewear, and their new Luma Collection is proof of that. Designed for professionals and digital enthusiasts who want stylish protection without the gamer aesthetic, the Campbell and Fremont glasses offer a sleek, modern look while reducing eye strain, fatigue and headaches.

Fremont 

Both pairs are made from a combination of stainless steel and acetate, giving them a premium feel and a lightweight yet sturdy construction. The Campbell features a sharp rectangular design that feels polished and sophisticated, while the Fremont has a timeless round frame that adds a touch of classic style. Each pair has flexible spring hinges, ensuring a comfortable fit for all-day wear. The subtle temple vents add a refined detail that makes these glasses stand out without being overly flashy.

Fremont 

Now the technical stuff, both are available in both Amber and Clear Pro tints, these lenses filter harmful blue light, provide 100 percent UV protection and include a smudge-resistant, anti-reflective coating. The Amber lenses enhance contrast, making them perfect for long gaming sessions, while the Clear Pro option maintains true colour accuracy, making them ideal for professionals working with visuals. The slight focusing power in the lenses helps to relieve eye strain, which becomes noticeable after hours in front of a screen.

Campbell 

After testing both pairs, the difference was clear. Long gaming sessions felt easier on the eyes, and working at a computer for extended periods was far more comfortable. My partner, who used the Campbell frames in an office setting, also noticed fewer headaches and less eye strain by the end of the day. These glasses do exactly what they are designed to do, and they do it well.

Campbell 

Aside from their effectiveness, they look fantastic. I received multiple compliments while wearing the Fremont frames, while my partner preferred the sharp structure of the Campbell. It is rare to find blue light-blocking glasses that look this stylish, and Gunnar has done an excellent job of blending fashion with function.

Campbell 

Gunnar Optiks is proving time and time again why they are one of the best in the business. The Campbell and Fremont glasses are both stylish and practical, offering real relief from the effects of prolonged screen time. If you spend hours in front of screens, whether for work or gaming, investing in a pair of these glasses is a decision you will not regret.

REVIEW: GUNNAR Office/Gaming Glasses

Review by Jon Donnis

These GUNNAR office/gaming glasses are a real find for anyone who spends long hours in front of a screen. As someone who regularly faces eye strain after back-to-back hours on the computer, I was looking for something that would reduce my discomfort, and these glasses absolutely delivered. Right from the first wear, I noticed a difference in how comfortable my eyes felt, even after a full workday. There's a slight magnification of 0.2 diopters, and although I don't usually wear glasses, I adjusted to it pretty quickly. After that, it was like they were custom-made for my needs.

One of the best features is how clear and sharp everything looks, especially with GUNNAR's clear PRO lenses that increase contrast and make colours vibrant without distorting them. They're especially handy for work that needs accurate colour perception, like graphic design or detailed office tasks, where seeing everything clearly really matters. I've even found they help outside the office. Although they aren't designed as sunglasses, they do block UV light, and I felt a surprising level of comfort wearing them on a bright day for reading or even just walking around.

The design is sleek and has this natural elegance thanks to the sustainably harvested wood used in the frames. It's hard to find glasses that look as stylish as they do functional, but GUNNAR managed to balance both perfectly. The anti-reflective coating works wonders too, minimising those irritating reflections and making everything in front of the screen feel a lot clearer and more immersive. Since I started wearing them, I've had colleagues and friends ask about them, and I've even had a few people try them on and immediately notice the difference in comfort and sharpness.

GUNNAR really nailed it with these glasses for both gaming and office use. They're incredibly comfortable, effective at reducing eye strain, and look fantastic. If you spend a lot of time at your desk or in front of screens, these glasses are well worth the investment and genuinely enhance the experience.

I'd like to thank GUNNAR for providing these glasses for review, I encourage everyone to check out https://gunnar.com for their full range.
