Gaming eyewear

[Ripred]

Hi there, curious about gaming eyewear, filtering blue light/uv and such BUT don't make everything look yellow, do these types of glasses still work as well as the yellow lenses? meaning I can play as long as with my current Gunnar lenses?

blue light filters are snake oil mate

So you don't get headaches playing for an hour?

Confusing wording, do you already have gunnars? Or are thinking about getting them. 

 

Gunnars are the least yellow-filter-lookin ones while reducing eye fatigue a bit, though you can also accomplish the same result by tweaking your monitor color settings so you aren't staring into essentially a fluorescent light all day. Slightly warmer colors also look better aesthetically IMO, so it's a win-win.

They way they're advertised yeah, though if you just want to lessen eye fatigue with a really cool white display, they do work for that in my experience.

The small diopter might work for some people WHO SHOULD GET AN EYE EXAM INSTEAD.

 

Also, if you're competitive gaming, it does the opposite - blue light increases focus by keeping you awake so blocking it makes it easier for you to get sleepy.

Gunnars are about as not-yellow as you could get without missing the point of the things, so I doubt they would. Just tweak the monitor if it's irritating your eyes.

Just dont use them. They do absolutely NOTHING for you. The blue light stuff only affects Circadian Rhythm, and a little filter on glasses wont change that. Eye strain? Just remember to blink and or use eye drops. Thats whats causing it not the blue light.

I bought a pair of gunnars in 2013, I have used them a handful of times and I have never felt a difference (as opposed to no glasses).

I honestly think it is better to just use f.lux to reduce blues especially if you are on screens a few hours before bed.

I have a set, just came across less yellow options and wondering if they give the same benefit.

My day job is in front of computer screen, most of the work day, so by the time I get home I've already been staring at a computer monitor 8+ hours, then ill play a game and my home monitor is much more vibrant, even with adjusted settings so ill occasionally get a nasty headache. The gunnars help this issue nicely, never have a problem unless I forget them, and I'm used to the color now, just happen to see more clear options coming out
