Ever since the beginning of man’s semi-civilized and civilized living, they tend to wear something mainly for two general purposes. The first purpose is for decoration as people tend to wear things on their body to enhance their physical look and to stand out from others. The second major purpose of wearing something is for its functionality for the person who is wearing it. Warriors and soldiers tend to wear uniforms to be easily identified and camouflaged if need be. They also wear armor for protection. The average man wears clothes to shield or lessen the body’s exposure to some harsh elements of the outdoors. And almost everyone who wears glasses does so to protect their eyes, especially the gaming console players or popularly known as gamers.

Come to think of it, almost the majority of the old school and new generation gamers never really have the right idea of why they should wear gaming glasses while playing. Ever since the early 1980s when the first computer games were invented until the decade after 2000, gamers and computer game enthusiasts never really felt the need for using gaming glasses. Some gamers say that it might just block their full view of the game or serve as a nuisance when the lens sweats. Other gamers say that there is no difference whether you use the gaming glasses or not while playing.

But believe it or not, you should wear a pair of gaming glasses while playing. Research about the extensive hours of gaming shows that being exposed to the bright glares and the high intensity light spectrum of the computer screen tends to cause several minor damages to the eyes that may lead to a serious eye condition.

The high intensity of the light that is produced by a computer screen tends to close the pupils to a tighter estate than normal. Because of the abnormal contraction of the pupil to adjust to the glare, the moving parts of the eyeball adjust to the shrinkage of the part. Normally, it does not cause strain in the eye if done for only a few minutes. But in the case of the gamers, their eyes are being exposed to relatively higher intensity of light and glare for long hours. This duration of exposure strains the moving parts of the eyes, causing eye fatigue and eye strain. There are also cases when long hours of exposure to such bright environments cause eye burn-outs that tend to make the vision blurry and make white spots appear in your line of vision.

Fortunately, wearing gaming glasses while playing deflects and reduces some of the glares that enter the eyes while gaming. With the dim tint of its lenses it allows to lower the intensity of brightness of the glare and the light that comes from the screen. Another advantage to wearing gaming glasses is that their special tint deflects and absorbs some of the colors in the artificially produced light spectrum from the screen; this allows the eyes to see the real colors of the gaming programs graphics making it clearer and more relaxing for the eyes to comprehend. The relaxed state of the eyes allows a gamer to last longer in playing games and allows him to comprehend with even the slightest movement in the images.

With the different benefits that a gamer can get from these glasses, it is a must for gamers to wear gaming glasses while playing.
