Gaming Glasses

Reasons why you should wear them

Do your eyes get tired easily when you are gaming? Do you tend to get throbbing headaches or does your vision get blurry after hours of focusing on your favorite game? We know that it can be difficult to play competitively when your eyes get dry or your head’s constantly pounding.

That’s exactly why gaming glasses are the latest essential gear!
Do you know what they are and how they work?

If you want to continue gaming for years to come, here’s what you should know about gaming glasses!

What are gaming glasses?

In today’s society, technology is a crucial part of our daily lives. If you’re into the gaming world, technology and screens are definitely a must!

Gaming requires a lot of skills, time, patience and… countless hours of dedication! At the end of the day, as gamers, our eyes are constantly absorbing information and artificial blue light from our screens, which can have adverse effects on our health and lead to Digital Eye Strain.

On top of that, screens also emit a glare that stresses our near vision and forces our eyes to focus much harder, which leads to the common sensation of blurry vision and headaches.

As a gamer, you are probably familiar with the “blue screen of death.” Well, constantly receiving blue light causes its own kind of damage: our display screens produce significant amounts of high-energy visible (HEV) light, but our eyes are not designed to purposely focus on that kind of light for such long periods.
The result? When we are gaming for hours, our eyes are working overtime to
compensate.

So that’s precisely why we need extra protection for our vision. Gaming glasses
efficiently block blue light and remove glare from our screens, which means that we
can play for hours on end, with our eyes feeling noticeably more rested and relaxed.

What do gaming glasses really do?

There are two main factors responsible for eye tiredness and the so-called Computer Vision Syndrome:
● Long periods exposed to blue light
● The glare of our screens

At Barner, we know how important it is to benefit from high-quality gaming glasses without having to sacrifice value or style.
That’s why we have carefully designed high-quality organic CR-39 lenses with gamers in mind: they block 100% of the blue light under 410nm and 45% of the blue light on the 410nm – 450nm spectrum.

We have a wide variety of colors and frames to choose from, so that you can find the perfect pair of gaming glasses that fits you best!

Gaming glasses: 5 benefits of blocking blue light

1. Better focus: whether we’re playing on small or large screens, our eyes are working 100% when we are gaming. Looking for clues, exploring different areas. What we probably don’t realize is that in the middle of such intense concentration, we blink less and our eye movement is also reduced. Gaming glasses give our eyes a little break. They won’t need to work so hard, therefore our eyes are able to focus for longer.

2. Reduce glare: Typically, games are composed of many different pixels with strong contrasts that can contribute to the feeling of flickering and flashing screens that emit glare. Blue light blocking glasses are also very efficient at reducing glare.

3. Prevent Digital Eye Strain: some of the most common effects of long periods in front of screens are dry eyes, red eyes and blurry vision. As gamers, our vision is crucial. Let’s give our eyes the protection they deserve!

4. Reduce Computer Vision Syndrome symptoms: prevent headaches, neck and shoulder pain and eye strain. Gaming glasses are especially designed to reduce the level of visual stress our eyes endure.

5. Improve well-being and sleep quality: have you heard of the effects of blue light on circadian rhythms? That’s right, HEV can also affect our sleep patterns. That’s why blue light blocking glasses can help improve our sleep quality, which has a direct effect on our concentration during gaming!
