Gaming Glasses Benefits
Gaming (Gunnar) glasses promise a few different things. The glass is easier on your eyes and you can play longer without getting red eyes. The glasses are reinforced slightly, making you feel you're a bit closer to the screen. Finally, the glasses raise contrast: in practical terms, this means that you have a better sight of an opponent standing in front of a wall.

The difference between Gunnar Computer and Gaming Glasses
The computer and gaming glasses made by Gunnar Optiks both have the same I-amp lens technology. This reduces eye fatigue, increases contrast and detail, keeps eyes from drying out and reduces glare and visual noise. The difference lies in the frame geometry. Gaming glasses are more light-weight and flexible so they fit better under headsets and are more suitable for gaming hours and hours.

Something About Eye Fatigue
Normally, a muscle would get fatigued from too much activity. The eye is the opposite. It needs to move every once in a while, and it needs the eyelids to pass over it frequently in order to keep it damp. Activities that keep the eye inactive and steady such as long drives and watching television for hours on end could tire out the eye. However, too much focusing activities, such as straining to see in the dark, could also lead to eye fatigue.Eye fatigue is not just irritating. It can also lead to the lack of productivity because of the inability to work. This is why some recommend a few changes in the workspace in order to avoid eye fatigue:
- Keep the computer screen some two feet away from your eyes, and a little under your eye level. Not directly in front of you.
- Keep your screen clean, as smudges may break your line of vision and cause you to adjust your sight frequently.
- Consider using a glare filter over your screen.
- Get a comfortable chair that can be adjusted.
- Place the reminder "blink" by your computer screen. Not only will this remind you to do so, but it will also be a great discussion piece.
- Stand up and walk away from your computer. In fact some studies say that the ideal time to move around is after 15 minutes of intense work in front of the PC. This may be a little difficult to do since it may get you out of your groove, but walking around for a minute after twenty or so minutes could help.
- Use artificial years if you feel that your eyes are drying up. Sometimes tear ducts also dry up, and it would be good to have some form of substitute. Plain water is not as good as you would think.
- If indoors, a humidifier could work wonders, especially in cold, air-conditioned areas. It would help the eyes adjust and keep moist.

Computer Glasses Help You Get in Sleep at Night
The reason, both are high in bright blue light that mimics sunlight. The bright blue light that looks like daylight tricks our brain into 'thinking' it' still daytime so we stay alert and awake.
Apart from dimming the lights in the evening and using computer glasses I also installed a free program on my computer. F.lux changes the brightness settings of your computer screen during the day. This way the screen gets less bright towards the evening.
Do You Wear Yellow Glasses?
computer screen glasses, indoor shooting glasses, hunting eyewear..
If you have ever worn yellow glasses, whether it was out in nature during a wild boar hunt or indoors while playing Halo, you will probably know that they enhance contrast greatly. All the colors are more saturated and vibrant and everything looks more vivid.
Do You See The Purpose of Wearing Yellow Glasses?
Yes, they are great! Wouldn't want without them anymore.
No, I don't.
Care For Your Eyes
Our eyes are an important part of our body, and just like everything else, they should be taken care of. Otherwise, we would be forced to use glasses that would be a permanent irritation. Or worse, we could slowly lose our sight. Take care of your eyes, and you will continue to enjoy the beauty of the world as long as you live.

I was a wide reader in my younger days, and this allowed me to open my mind to a number of possibilities and experiences. One of them was the sudden experience of an overpowering headache whenever I opened my eyes, as well as the inability to focus on any object for even a short period of time. This was my first scuffle with eye fatigue, and it was my mother who made a quick diagnosis. Apparently, I got it from too much reading during one summer day. This was when I finished a novel as soon as I woke up, and I did this without getting out of bed.
There have been a lot of changes since those days, and today one has a huge array of items that one can use to get eye fatigue. Not that it is something that is pleasurable, since it gives you a lot of pain and renders your eyes completely useless. What you need to understand is that it is a lot easier to get eye fatigue now than in the olden days.
