Could playing too much Fortnite affect your eyesight?
Playing video games for extended periods of time can cause eye strain, irritation, focusing issues, and more. This is because the eyes are constantly changing focus when looking at a screen, making them very tired. Prolonged gaming without significant breaks can cause eye focus issues.
According to a survey conducted by Limelight Networks, video gamers spend about eight hours and 27 minutes each week playing games, which is an increase of 14% over 2020.
Blue Light affecting impacts Eye Sight
Having the right pair of gaming glasses is essential for those who spend a lot of time gaming. Anybody who’s been playing online games for longer periods knows that the blue light emitted by computers hurt your eyes.
Blue light is visible light with a wavelength between 400 and 450 nanometers (nm). As the name suggests, this type of light is perceived as blue in color. However, blue light may be present even when light is perceived as white or another color. Blue light is of concern because it has more energy per photon of light than other colors in the visible spectrum, i.e. green or red light. Blue light, at high enough doses, is therefore more likely to cause damage when absorbed by various cells in our body
Computer screens do emit blue light. However, blue light may stimulate the circadian clock (your internal biological clock) more than traditional light sources, keeping you awake, disrupting sleep, or having other effects on your circadian rhythm.
Eliminate the Blue with Red
However, there are a few steps you can take to help protect your eyes while you play video games. Looking to eliminate some of the blue brought on from your gaming, GUNNAR has unveiled tokidoki® Year of the Dragon limited edition glasses. Handmade acetate temples adorned with the iconic tokidoki® logo showcase the ultimate fashion. In addition to being very stylish for gaming these glasses are so good, you can use them for sun glasses.
These GUNNAR glasses carefully filters the light spectrum to eliminate high energy spikes and cut blue light. The GUNNAR BLUE LIGHT FILTER ® (GBLF) rating tells you exactly the percentage of blue light blocked. Choose the right tint for your needs.
The GUNNAR tokidoki® are available with both Amber and clear tints. The amber-tinted lenses contrast against blue light to block it out from your spectrum of vision. The contrast of amber tint and blue light could reduce headaches, fatigue, watery eyes, and even insomnia. The amber lens eliminates distortion, impurities, haze and graininess found in gaming glasses with lower quality lenses. The lens reflects light back as natural light, allowing users to quickly forget they’re even wearing gaming glasses.
What separates the GUNNAR glasses from others is the engineering design. GUNNAR‘s patented high wrap lenses trap in humidity and block out drying air currents. The technology keeps eyes comfortably protected with an ideal ocular microclimate. This stops eye-watering and allows users maximum comfort.
Each tokidoki® comes with an exclusive microfiber cleaning cloth, pouch and case.
