Checking out the new Oakland and Intercept Frames by GUNNAR
Summer may be slowly coming to an end, but summer styles are forever! Our friends at GUNNAR have introduced two new frames that are a love letter to the season! For those not familiar with our friends at Gunnar, they specialize in making glasses that have anti-blue light tech. Screens give off blue light that’s invisible to the eyes but can cause strain and fatigue for them. Gunnar’s glasses help block this light to allow those who look at screens all day to work in comfort. Gunnar’s glasses are used by pro e-sport players, gamers, the military, and even animators at DreamWorks. We’ve seen the Oakland Frames before, but now we’re seeing them in a more vibrant color, Crystal Dusk.

The Intercept frames have been around for a while as well, and have been given the summer glow-up
