GUNNAR Optiks is extending its digital wellness focus beyond computer eyewear with the Ojai Vision Recovery System, a wearable designed for 10-minute breaks after screen-heavy routines. The $99 device combines air compression around the eye area, approximately 109°F heat, vibration, Bluetooth audio, and a full-blackout design. Five modes allow users to personalize combinations of these features, while its rechargeable, foldable construction supports use at home, work, or while traveling.
The product creates a new recovery occasion around the time consumers spend away from screens rather than during screen use. For GUNNAR, Ojai also broadens its business beyond its established eyewear category and provides an entry into digital wellness hardware. Its accessible price and portable format could appeal to gamers, professionals, and creators, while creating opportunities for GUNNAR to develop a wider ecosystem of products addressing screen-intensive lifestyles.
