Retail prices for the glasses range from $79.99 to $99.99. The glasses can also be obtained through prescription and carried by around 15,000 eye care providers nationwide.Gunnar is also currently in talks with Best Buy about the store carrying "Premium 3D eyewear" to support the arrival of new 3DTV technology -- presumably these are 3D glasses which incorporate Gunnar and Zeiss' lens technology to make the experience less painful for prolonged use.
