Why are gaming glasses so important?
Stay sharp and avoid the headaches
Migraines, blurred vision, and dry eyes that feel like the Gobi desert - sound familiar? These are common issues gamers face when playing without proper eye protection, like blue light glasses.
With the right lenses, you can minimize these annoying effects and stay in peak physical condition, ensuring nothing distracts you during your next speedrun .
Proper gaming glasses reduce digital eye strain, block harmful blue light, and cut down on glare. A well-chosen pair provides your eyes with the comfort and protection they need to keep you performing at your best.
Protect your eyes like a pro
Every day, your eyes battle against HP draining enemies like:
- Dangerous blue light
- Annoying screen flickers
- Distracting glare
- Unbalanced brightness levels
Think of gaming glasses as your shield—absorbing the hits so your eyes don’t have to.Choosing the right glasses for your eyes is like equipping yourself with a good shield; it will take the blows for you.
Become as stylish as a JRPG character
Winning is great, but doing it in style is better. Aside from their practical benefits, gaming glasses can add a touch of flair to your look.
Whether you’re going for a sleek, futuristic vibe or retro aesthetics, the right pair of glasses will not only protect your eyes but also elevate your gaming persona.
How to choose the best gaming glasses: Horus X's expert advice
1. Design
A good pair of gamer glasses don't just look stylish; it’s designed to work with you.
- Glasses should fit your head perfectly
- Lenses should cover your entire field of vision (human peripheral vision spans about 200°!)
And let’s be honest: style matters. In the gaming world, standing out can be just as important as winning.
2. Comfort
Pro gamers spend anywhere from 35 to 50 hours a week in front of their screens. (To be fair... so do a lot of casuals, they just don't get paid for it.) That's why it's important to select lightweight glasses to avoid them bothering you in the long run.
If you spend more time adjusting your glasses than focusing on the game, there's a problem.
Also, the best gaming glasses are designed to work seamlessly with headsets—no pinching or awkward pressure points.
3. Performance
While we’re not quite at the level of sci-fi smart glasses that display real-time stats, modern gaming glasses can still give your eyes a serious boost.
Today, there are cutting-edge technologies that offer gamers models of glasses with many features. Thanks to powerful filters, some of these lenses eliminate up to 90% of harmful exposure to blue light.
Some lenses also eliminate glare and reduce eye strain, saving you from those post-game headaches. Unless you lost, we can't really help there.
So, performance wise, here's what you want to take into account when choosing blue light blocking glasses.
- Blue light blocking: Ensure they provide maximum protection across the 380-450 nanometer wavelength range (the harmful blue light spectrum).
- Anti-Glare Glass: A must-have, as glare can seriously mess with your in-game performance.
- Scratch-Resistant Lenses: Because you’ll probably be carrying them around a lot, and durability is key.
Take the time to choose the right frame according to the characteristics of the lenses used. You wouldn’t head into battle without proper eye armor, right?
4. The price
The best gaming glasses often come with a hefty price tag, usually starting at $100. Honestly? That’s just absurd.
At Horus X, we get that being a pro or casual gamer already comes with its fair share of expenses (gear, upgrades, you name it). That’s why we created simple, highly effective glasses at a fair price to protect your eyes without emptying your wallet. And there’s more…
5. Daily protection, long-term guarantee
Cheap, high-quality glasses with amazing packaging and a good warranty are not easy to find. Lucky for you, it seems like you’ve stumbled onto the perfect spot to score this rare gem.
For daily use, it’s crucial to keep your glasses protected so they last. You therefore need a solid, resistant and lightweight case.
And for the long haul, the brand you pick should stand by its product’s durability. A lifetime warranty, you say? (Guess who offers that!)
6. What Lens Tint Should You Choose?
Gaming glasses come with amber, yellow or clear lenses. The key is figuring out what you need.
Do you want maximum protection to keep gaming at the highest level for longer? Are your eyes a little more sensitive? Go for an amber filter like our Plasma technology. Most gamers get used to tinted lenses in just a few minutes.
If you want near-100% true-to-life colors, pick a clear lens like our Ghost technology. It protects your eyes by filtering out the most harmful light while keeping colors balanced for an ultra-realistic look. The protection isn’t as strong, but it’s more than enough for many players.

You want gaming glasses but you're wondering…
Can you wear gaming glasses all the time?
If you are deeply in love with your glasses, you can wear them as much as you want.
If you prefer switching styles throughout the day, lighter blue light filters (with less yellow tint) are a great choice. Check out our “casual” options—they’re more relaxed and versatile.
But all models can be worn all day long.
Do gaming glasses work outdoors?
Gaming glasses are designed for screen time, not for staring at the sun. They do block some UV light, but don’t try using them as sunglasses—stick to hunting stars in Mario instead.
That said, if you're gaming outside on your phone (or spending hours texting on WhatsApp, Instagram etc.), these glasses will still help. And if you need real sun protection, we’ve got our own blue light blocking sunglasses!
Do gaming glasses transform your vision?
As with sunglasses, gaming lenses have a sometimes powerful tint that can alter certain colors. Often yellow, this tint is actually a filter reducing the blue light from screens.
These glasses are made to sharpen your vision, helped by other features like anti-glare. But if you ever see killer rabbits, it's either because you're playing a new Ubisoft game or because you ate something fishy.
Is blue light really dangerous?
Yes and no. Blue light is everywhere—the sun is its biggest source, and its blue light helps regulate your sleep cycle.
The problem? Too much exposure at the wrong time, plus artificial blue light from screens, can be a serious problem. It can cause headaches, eye strain, disrupted sleep, and even potential long-term effects on eye health.
They’ll Make You Look Cool & Improve Your Gaming?i
We can guarantee you’ll look badass in Horus X gaming glasses.
As for your skills? That’s on you. But if you’re here, you’re already among the best.
