Unfortunately I haven't received either yet to see if they are as effective as Gunnars, or if their build quality is decent.
Both have noticeably darker tints, so colors are a bit more distorted than usual. However they are at least flatter lenses so there is less chance of any radial distortion (i.e. when turning your head, causing image refraction). The only notable difference is that the set from Corn has a fairly similar coating (reflects the same light blue color on the outer lens) to Gunnars, where the Starlike set has a more purple tint, similar to what you'd find on standard prescription glasses. Although the Corn lenses barely have a coating at all compared to the Gunnars, so I question their overall efficiency in their intended use.
Overall, I'd say the Starlikes beat out the Corns, but neither of which do anything as well as the Gunnars. Especially at the intended retail price of the Starlikes at $40. All the same, you're still likely to fund deals on Gunnars every so often. Their usefulness is sort of subjective, as none of these companies have any testing sheets indicating how well their lenses perform under specific conditions and specific wavelengths of light.
