Night Vision Glasses: Best Computer Glasses 2013 - Eye Strain Reducing Computer Reading and Gaming Glasses

Protective Technology Eyewear That Soothes Your Eyes and Body During Work, Gaming, and Surfing

Do you spend more than a few hours a day peering at your computer screen? If you do, you are likely to experience symptoms of "computer vision syndrome" (CVS) or "digital eye fatigue". CVS affects millions of office workers, students, and retired people who frequently use a computer.

Eyestrain, eye fatigue or vision-based headaches while gaming, working, or surfing can be battled with the help of eye strain-reducing computer glasses. These yellow colored computer reading glasses or gaming glasses (as they are called as well) enhance your vision during computer work significantly.

Recently I bought a pair of Gunnar computer glasses. Gunnar Optiks is the most recognized brand that produces eyewear that improves your experience while working on a computer. Not only do they enhance the image, prevent or reduce complaints caused by eye fatigue but the amber-tinted lenses designed to help reduce the blue glare of the computer monitor or TV screen also help prevent insomnia. Something very useful for a self-employed night dweller such as myself.

Read on to see the huge variety of available Gunnar glasses and see the top 10 best rated computer reading / gaming glasses.

Are Computer Glasses for Everyone?

when do you benefit from computer glasses?

If you never experience hurtful eyes, headaches or other complaints during or after prolonged use of a computer you will probably don't need these glasses. At first I thought I would not benefit from using these odd yellow glasses. They do make you look a little like Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) in The Big Lebowski which, in my opinion isn't necessarily a bad thing but hey, I'm a sucker for that movie.

After trying them for a while I did discover that I did benefit from using the yellow-ish spectacles. I realized that mild headaches and blurry vision did occur and not only did these complaints occur less frequent but even if they were present I noticed that my Gunnars even helped take away the discomfort.

When are computer / gaming glasses for you? In case you work or game a lot and especially when you tend to go on hours after each other (who doesn't while working or gaming?) or maybe even if you don't sit that long behind a computer but just when you tend to get irritated eyes these spectacles can help improve your well-being. These glasses are specially designed to provide significantly more rest for your eyes.

Importance of Computer Glasses

The introduction of computers and mobile internet devices have made the occurrence of eye fatigue a lot more frequent. In fact, more than half of those who suffer from eye strain get it due to working on a computer or mobile device. This is because computer screens also tend to decrease the instances of blinking, and mobile devices are held a lot closer to the eyes as compared to a book or newspaper.

Computer Vision Syndrome and Computer Glasses

prescription and non-prescription computer glasses

The most common symptoms of CVS include headaches, neck, and shoulder pain, overall bodily fatigue, light sensitivity, focusing difficulties, several problems with eyestrain, double or blurred vision, and you will require interruption from work frequently to rest eyes.

The eyes have a very hard time focusing on the many small dots or pixel characters of a computer screen. This generates achy, burning, and tired eyes, and it creates lots of fatigue.

An eye doctor can accurately diagnose your computer vision problems, and produce computer eyeglasses that will allow you to work comfortably and productively at a computer.

This new type of eyeglasses can eliminate the symptoms of CVS and dramatically improve your comfort level when working on a computer. These computer glasses are prescription glasses designed to be worn when working on a computer. Though they sometimes are called "computer reading glasses," it's best to call eyewear designed specifically for computer use "computer glasses" or "computer eyeglasses" to distinguish them from conventional reading glasses. They allow you to focus your eyes on a computer screen at a comfortable distance, and are designed to meet your visual needs while performing the activity. Gamers would highly benefit in investing in one of these!

Depending on the individual's vision and type of work, there are several options and type of lenses for computer glasses. Single vision, bifocal, trifocals, and progressive lenses are the main types of lenses prescribed for computer glasses. There's no one type of computer glasses that fits all or is the best for everybody. It's very important that the selection of computer glasses is made based on consultation with an eye care specialist who is knowledgeable in Computer Vision Syndrome.
