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 advantages of gaming glasses

Intense blue light can be well balanced out with gaming glasses. They therefore definitely make sense for people who work a lot at the computer or are passionate gamers. However, they also have other advantages, which we have summarised for you below:

  • Reduced eye strain

    • If your eyes are exposed to blue light for a long time, they may not only feel strained, but dry eyes, tiredness and headaches may also occur. This is when you should consider an eye test and gaming glasses.

  • Improved colour perception

    • The slight tinting of the lenses can have an impact on your perception of the game. Although it may be a little unfamiliar at first to see everything in a warmer light, many players quickly notice that the contrasts of the game images are higher and they can see even sharper.

  • Better gaming performance

    • The effective anti-reflective coating of the gaming glasses blocks out all distracting light and glare, giving you a better view of the screen. At the same time, you can see colours and contrasts more clearly, increasing your reaction time. As your eyes are more relaxed, you won't get tired as quickly - a clear gaming advantage!

What do I need to consider when choosing the right gaming glasses?

To ensure that you can actually benefit from the advantages of gaming glasses, you should consider a few factors when buying them.

Fit and comfort

The right goggle width is not only crucial for the aesthetic impression, but also for your wearing comfort.

  • Your new gaming glasses should be designed so that they sit comfortably on your nose without compromise.

  • Are you a gamer who wears a headset? If so, the glasses should of course also fit snugly to avoid painful pressure points.

Lens quality

  • Whichever frame you choose, our blue light filters are available for almost all lenses. So you can simply have the quality lenses of your favourite model enhanced with a blue light filter.

Visual acuity

  • If you already wear glasses in everyday life, you don't need to do without the comfort of gaming glasses. Glasses for gaming are now available in every prescription. [Tip: Contact lens wearers can keep an eye on their lenses for gaming and also wear non-prescription gaming glasses].
