Gunnar Optiks started in the garage of one of its owners, Jenny and Matt Michelsen. The idea for the glasses was born out of one woman's frustration with a complaining husband and worry about the eyes of a boy seemingly tethered to a computer and video games. Jenny Michelsen listened for months to her husband, Matt, a hedge fund manager, complaining about the headaches he got after hours of sitting in front of six computer screens. The headaches, the Michelsens would learn, were a symptom of computer vision syndrome, a collection of minor ailments that build up over time. |
