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.

GUNNAR Optiks®, the world’s leading manufacturer of technology eyewear, today announced a licensed partnership with Activision Publishing, Inc. to release limited edition Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 Gaming Eyewear. The exclusive Modern Warfare® 3 design brings new form, function and style to GUNNAR’s existing line of Advanced Gaming Eyewear.

The limited edition Modern Warfare 3 eyewear combines all the features of GUNNAR’s i-AMP® lens technology into a futuristic fighter-inspired design. Specs include custom spring hinges, a magnesium alloy frame and wide coverage lenses, providing an ultra sharp view into the farthest ranges of your peripheral vision. Adjustable nose pads accommodate a wide range of facial features with venting details inspired by the latest technology in military machinery. GUNNAR’s eyewear delivers style and comfort, allowing gamers to look sharp, stay focused and play longer while protecting their eyes during extended gaming sessions.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s release this November will no doubt be the event of the year and is certain to achieve a new level of action-packed, unflinching entertainment," said Rob Aarnes, president of GUNNAR Optiks. "GUNNAR has supported gamers over the years helping them to enhance their vision and protect their eyes with our expanded line of MLG, SteelSeries and Call of Duty®: Black Ops edition gaming eyewear, and we’re pleased to continue this with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3." Not only will the limited edition eyewear provide a visual advantage to gamers through those long nights of intense action, but they will be able to show their affinity for the new blockbuster and look badass while playing it.”
