Do Gaming Glasses Help?

Digital screens are a huge part of our lives. We use them to work, to study, and most importantly: unwind after a long day. For gamers especially, spending time in front of a digital screen can cause a laundry list of effects on your eye health. Special glasses have been developed to curb these effects, but some still wonder: “do gaming glasses actually help?”

Can playing video games damage your eyes?

Playing video games for long periods of time yields the same negative effects as any other activity involving a digital screen. Looking at electronic devices such as TVs, phones, and computer monitors can cause visual discomfort so it’s a good idea to take regular breaks, just like you would during the day in the office to give your eyes a break.

 

Do gaming glasses protect your eyes?

To help curb the effects of blue-violet light, gaming glasses protect your eyes with the use of a special lens coating. These unique lenses look almost identical to the lenses regular glasses have, and filter blue-violet light so you can stay gaming stress-free.
