What Are Gaming Glasses and How Do They Work?

Whether it’s a computer, smartphone, or tablet, many of us spend hours in front of screens daily. If you enjoy gaming in your free time, your eyes can become strained. This isn’t due to the games themselves but to the blue light from screens and the glare that can tire your eyes.

Gaming glasses can help. Their lenses are coated with a blue light filter and sometimes have a slight yellow or brown tint. This anti-glare coating protects your eyes from excessive blue light. These glasses are available for both prescription wearers and those without vision problems. The best part? They’re stylish enough to wear every day.

The Benefits of Gaming Glasses

Intense blue light can be effectively managed with gaming glasses. They make sense for anyone who spends a lot of time on the computer or loves gaming. Here are more benefits:

  • Reduced Eye Strain

    • Prolonged exposure to blue light can make your eyes feel strained and lead to dry eyes, fatigue, and headaches. If you experience these symptoms, consider an eye test and gaming glasses.

  • Improved Colour Perception

    • The slight tint in the lenses can affect how you perceive colours in the game. Initially, you might find the warmer hues unusual, but many gamers quickly notice higher contrast and sharper images.

  • Better Gaming Performance

    • Effective anti-glare properties of gaming glasses block distracting light and reflections, giving you a clearer view of the screen. Enhanced colour and contrast perception can improve your reaction time. With less eye strain, you won’t tire as quickly, giving you a gaming edge.

What to Look for When Choosing Gaming Glasses

To fully benefit from gaming glasses, consider the following factors:

Fit and Comfort

The right glasses width is crucial for both aesthetic appeal and comfort. Your new gaming glasses should fit comfortably on your nose. If you use a headset, ensure the glasses fit well with it to avoid pressure points.

Lens Quality

Regardless of the frame you choose, our blue light filters are available for almost all lenses. Enhance the quality lenses of your preferred model with a blue light filter.

Prescription

If you already wear prescription glasses, you can still enjoy the comfort of gaming glasses. Nowadays, gaming glasses are available with any prescription.

[Tip: Contact lens wearers can keep their lenses on and use non-prescription gaming glasses.]
