I use GUNNAR Optiks everyday at work and they do help my eyes in reducing eye strain and making items on the monitor a little sharper and cleaner. Today, GUNNAR announced a brand new pair of glasses that's being branded with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
The limited edition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Gaming Eyewear has spring hinges, a magnesium alloy frame with the logo on them, adjustable nose pads, and amber tint lenses. They also come with a carrying case and a pouch so if you want to take your glasses to various LAN parties or what not, they can be protected in transit.
The glasses will go for $99 and be released in the coming months. You can pre-order them soon, but right now you can be notified when they're ready to take your money.
