Fight screen fatigue: Weary eyes will want to take a look at a line of digital performance eyewear designed to fight screen fatigue.

Created by Gunnar Optiks, the Gunnars glasses sport technology that is supposed to relax the ocular muscles that focus your eyes at close distances, reducing eyestrain when you’re looking at a screen, be it a monitor, a phone or another gadget.

Better yet, the lenses and frames filter screen glare and increase the moisture around your eye, so you don’t end up with dry eyes. Prices range from about $99 to $189. Models also can be ordered with prescription lenses.
