If you’re a passionate gamer looking to elevate your gameplay, it’s no secret that doing so requires countless hours of practice to effectively improve your skills in-game. That goes especially for competitive and professional gamers. However, spending several hours staring at a computer screen also poses some health risks. The blue light emitted by computer monitors and other digital screens can cause eye strain and headaches. In worst cases, it can also disrupt your body’s natural sleep cycle. Wearing blue light glasses can help protect your eye health from blue light exposure, keeping your vision comfortable during long gaming sessions while reducing eye fatigue. For a pair of blue light glasses designed specifically for gaming, check out the GUNNAR Optiks’ Echo and Roswell glasses.
The GUNNAR Optiks Echo and GUNNAR Optiks Roswell are limited-edition blue light glasses that are respectively designed for pro-eSports and elite performance level in competitive gaming. They feature a gaming-inspired, a lightweight, yet durable construction, and sturdy, flexible hinges. They also come equipped with blue light blocking lenses that utilize GUNNAR’s patented blue light lens technology, which effectively blocks harmful blue light and 100% UV rays, plus GUNNAR’s proprietary G-Shield Plus lens coating, which makes them anti-reflective and smudge-resistant.
