Eye problems caused by gaming are something gamers are prone to. If you regularly have your gaming marathons, play professionally (or stream), or the nature of your job includes long hours in front of computer screens, then picking a pair of gaming glasses is highly recommended.
Are yellow tint/gaming glasses good for the eyes?
Copper, orange, yellow/amber, and brown lens tints are helpful in low-light conditions because they make the environment appear brighter. They also improve contrast and depth perception and are great for overcast, hazy, and foggy conditions. Also, these lens tints block blue light.
What is the best way to clean a pair of eyeglasses?
You can clean your glasses by rinsing under lukewarm tap water. Then put a small drop of dishwashing liquid to each lens. Gently rub both sides of the lenses and the frame for a few seconds. Rinse them thoroughly. Next is dry the lenses and frame with a clean, lint-free towel.
Why is prolonged exposure to Blue light harmful?
Blue light exposure has been proven to affect the circadian rhythm. However, natural exposure to blue light during the daytime will boost your energy, alertness, and mood. But, prolonged exposure to the waves (blue light) transmitted through screen devices and computer monitors during the evening can disrupt your sleep patterns. Also, blue light with its shorter wavelength scatters easier than other colors and will make focusing on objects rather difficult.
