Today video games have improved a lot, they are more complex, have much more detailed graphics, require greater dedication and make use of new technologies, but this also has its disadvantages, one of them has been dragging since the beginning of this industry , the screens.
As much as now the screens are not as harmful as they were before, requiring more dedication or dedicating more time to this type of entertainment our vision is affected like it or not, especially after long intensive sessions and in poor lighting conditions.
To fix that problem and prevent irreversible damage to our vision We must take certain protections, and I, as a gamer user, decided to check for myself to what extent gaming glasses are useful or not.
Skepticism
Glasses that block "high-frequency" blue light from modern screens and thus prevent tiredness and dryness in our eyes as well as protect us against future injuries from spending hours and hours looking at a screen? And all this for less than € 20? Come now!
That's what we all (or at least I) think when we read the description of this product, you know, the unknown miracle that they say it's a placebo effect but it doesn't really do anything ...
Nothing is further from reality
Blue light bounces off the lenses without actually passing through them.
My surprise comes from the moment I put them on for the first time, at first you think "wow, it seems that it looks better", also if you are not used to wearing glasses you notice them all the time, but since it is the first time, it is most likely because you just bought them and it is what you expect, however as time goes by you get used to it, they are light, comfortable and although you do not believe it yourself … do they work!
After about 4 or 5 days using them (especially if you are one of those who play in low light) you realize that you really you stop noticing how your eyes get dry When it gets dark, you no longer have to get wet every 2 minutes because it costs you to close them, and you don't have to lower the brightness of the screen, because although it is hard to believe, the glasses allow you to see the screen with comfort and your eyes they don't react negatively to it like they do now, you can hang out as long as you want and your gaming session (or any other activity that requires intensive use of a screen) will not be hampered by "tired eyes".
I can't play without them today, at least not for a long time, if I do, that discomfort in my eyes returns that forces me to stop every X time and end up finishing what I was doing in front of the screen to rest, without a doubt this product will help those who are working or playing all day in front of the screen, and it works with any type of light.
How does it work?
Vision difference with and without lens.
As you will have observed in the photograph in the previous section, you can see an intense blue reflection that comes from the glasses, this happens for the following reason, to take the photo I have used the flash to post, from the flash of my camera the lenses of These glasses have allowed all frequencies of light to pass except blue light, the latter bounced off the lens producing that reflection on the white background that EYE, as you can see is a fairly intense reflection, that same blue light that you are seeing on the white background is the light from which these glasses would have protected our eyes if we had worn them, and the difference is noticeable from looking at a screen to looking at a light source, we will notice that everything has a warmer tone and yet we will not stop seeing the color blueThat is why these glasses do not negatively affect our gaming experience.
