The gaming community has witnessed a monumental rise in recent times. According to Statista, there are a whopping 3.24 billion active gamers worldwide. Various reasons, such as the widespread availability of and access to digital devices like gaming consoles and smartphones, the emergence of new markets, such as e-sports and game streaming, diversification of content, etc., have fueled the phenomenal growth of the gaming community.

However, such expansion is also accompanied by several problems, most of which go unnoticed by gamers. And, one such issue pertains to eye health. Excessive gaming can cause vision problems, which in turn, deteriorates your gaming efficiency. In such a context, gaming glasses come to the rescue. In this blog, we will delve into the A to Z of gaming glasses and clear the air about eyesight-protecting devices.

What Are Gaming Glasses?

As the name suggests, gaming glasses are eyewear specially designed for people who game. Every minute detail of these spectacles, from their body to the lenses and the fit to the coating is meticulously crafted to reduce the eyestrain experienced by gamers and bolster their performance.

Any type of online gaming includes staring continuously at a digital screen, be it a computer monitor, TV screen, or mobile device. Thus, the result of prolonged gaming is not just a dopamine release after clearing another level, but potential vision problems. Thus, gaming glasses filter out the detrimental artificial blue light rays from digital screens, and protect the eyesight of gamers.

Why Use Gaming Glasses?

Despite being a sedentary activity, gaming is quite adrenaline-inducing. Your entire body and mind are focused on clearing different levels and acing the game. Thus, the implication is that your eyes are also compelled to concentrate on a digital screen for several hours. In due course of time, blue light can cause poor vision, and issues like eye strain, eye irritation and headaches are bound to prop up.

To keep the harms of blue light at bay, and improve your overall efficiency as a gamer, opting for gaming glasses can help. They mitigate the exposure to blue light and reduce digital eye strain. Simply put, digital eye strain occurs when you stare at a screen for too long. It can facilitate or aggravate other symptoms of vision deterioration, like headaches.

Moreover, the lenses of gaming glasses are also equipped with anti-glare technology to reduce the glare from the TV or computer monitor. The lenses are also tinted to enhance depth perception and contrast of colours so that you can see the details on the screen more vividly and clearly. Such add-ons are there to improve the reactions of the gamer and are deemed quite useful for fast-paced games.
