1. KLIM Optics Gaming Glasses

KLIM is renowned for the production of gaming gears ranging from headphones to keyboards, gaming mice, CPU coolers, and more. They also manufacture gaming eyewear and the KLIM Optics are one of the best gaming glasses in the company’s catalog. With a blue light filtering rate of 92%, you can enjoy hours of gaming without putting your eyes at risk of getting fatigued or watery. The yellow-tinted lens also helps to block out UV light and reduces screen glare to the barest minimum.

The accessory is also ultra-lightweight, thanks to the Grilamid TR90 thermoplastic fabric used in the construction of the frame. You can wear this for hours without feeling any weight on your ears or nose. The KLIM Optics temples and nose tips also offer an incredible level of comfort. The aesthetic isn’t fashionable but it’s the perfect combination of performance and functionality; it gets the job done. The yellow tint, however, might take some time to get acquainted with, especially if you’ve never used tinted glasses.

Asides gaming, the KLIM Optics can also be used for protection against blue light from everyday PC and smartphone use.

Price and Availability

The KLIM Optics retails for about $25 (see on Amazon). The price is relatively affordable and not over the top. For the stated price, you also get a soft and hard carrying case out-of-the-box. There’s a soft cleaning cloth, too.

Other Key Features

• Filtering rate: 92%
• Dimension: 5.71 x 1.26 x 1.38 inches
• Weight: 0.7 ounce (20 grams)
• Lens Type: Tinted (Yellow-tint)

Pros

• Affordable price point
• High blue light filtering
• Ships with two carrying cases and cleaning fabric.

Cons

• Yellow tint might affect light transmittance. It also requires getting used to it.

2. Cyxus Wing Gaming Glasses

Cyxus is another trusted brand that specializes in the production of eye protection glasses for enjoyable digital experiences. The Cyxus Wing stands out as one of the best gaming glasses for many reasons. First, it boasts of a unique American HEV-Adsorb substrate absorption technology to offer blue light protection. The clear lens is made of light-blocking polymer that prevents blue light and UV rays from passing through while maintaining light transmittance.

Compared to the KLIM Optics glasses (in #1 above), the Cyxus Wing is a lot more stylish and can be casually worn during other non-gaming activities like reading, movie streaming, and smartphone usage. The frame has a unisex design that will comfortably accommodate different head sizes and face shapes — square, long, diamond, oval, or round. One downside of the frame, however, is that it adds a just bit of bulk to the weight of the glasses.

My favorite bit about the Cyxus Wing glasses is the Blue light testing kit that ships with it out-of-the-box. The kit contains a small blue light torch and a testing card that’s sensitive to blue light. Shining the torch on the card will change its color from white to blue. However, shining the torch through the glasses will have no effect on the card — proves that the Cyxus Wing truly blocks blue light as advertised.

Price and Availability

In addition to the testing kit, the product also ships with a carrying case and a cleaning towel/fabric. The Cyxus Wing sells for about $16 – $29 (check out the best offers on Amazon). Quite a number of gamers have commended this glass’s effectiveness in relieving insomnia and migraines induced by long hours of gaming.

Other Key Features

• Frame Material: Plastic
• Lens Material: Polycarbonate
• Available colors: Bright black, Crystal, Pink, and Gradient.

Pros

• Clear/Transparent lens
• Blue light testing kit
• Very affordable
• Stylish and fashionable frame design

Cons

• Might be a little heavy and cause discomfort if used with headphone for long hours of gaming.

3. Livho 2-Pack Glasses

What’s better than one gaming glass? Two. That’s the case with this light blocking glasses from Livho. If you’ve got a gaming partner, this is the perfect package for you; two gaming glasses at the price of one. Livho sells these glasses in a pack of two and you can choose from the following frame color combination: Light + Black, Matte Black & Escape, Leopard + Blue Purple, Clear + Blue Purple, Leopard + Clear, Matte Black + Clear Pink, Matte Black + Tortoise, Light Black + Clear Purple.

These lenses are made from multiple layers of coating that are rated UV400 protection tested, meaning they reflect blue rays and offer almost 100% protection from harmful ultraviolet light. Also worth noting is the flexible and lightweight frame; Livho utilized a modern TR90 thermoplastic material to make them. It is comfortable, durable, and… casual.

For gamers who find it hard to sleep after long hours of gaming, Livho recommends wearing these glasses for at least 90 minutes before bedtime. This will help improve your sleep and reduce long-term eye strain.

For $16.98 only (see offer on Amazon), you get a pair of blue light blocking glasses, a testing kit (blue light torch + testing card), a carrying case, and a soft cleaning cloth. A sweet deal, no?

4. HyperX Gaming Eyewear

HyperX makes some of the best gaming-dedicated gears in the industry —the company’s HyperX Cloud was featured on our list of best gaming earbuds. With the HyperX gaming glasses, all you get is an interesting combination of unrivaled visual protection and comfort. The lens is made from a premium nylon material (dubbed MR-8) that makes it relatively thinner and lighter but just as effective in blocking blue light. In addition, the MR-8 boasts of minimal color discoloration.

There are different frame options and lens colors to choose from. If you love your glasses tinted, you can choose the Black or Gray variant with a slightly tinted lens. Then there are two other variants (Tortoise Brown and Black frames) with a clear lens. Doesn’t matter if the lens is clear or tinted, you see colors, images, and characters in their true forms. I particularly love the gray tint. It’s perfect for the inbetweeners who don’t want clear or yellow-tinted lenses.

Another thing to love is the custom leather carrying case that comes with these gaming glasses. There’s a bold HyperX logo debossed on it, the hollow cut for easy opening of the case is also brilliant. There’s a soft carrying case as well. There’s one fly in the ointment, though. The nose rest/pad —because it is made of plastic—might feel uncomfortable after a long period of gaming.

Price and Availability

These gaming glasses are available on Amazon for $99.99. The HyperX Gaming Eyewear is quite pricey. But a sizeable majority of buyers and users have sung the praises of its effectiveness in blocking blue light and other harmful digital lights during gaming.

Other Key Features

• Eye Size: 54mm
• Bridge Size: 16mm
• Temple Length: 145mm
• Lens Material: Premium MR-8 nylon.

Cons

• Plastic nose pad and frame feels a little harsh when used for long hours of gaming.

5. Gunnar Intercept

Gunnar is another reputable brand that you can turn to for gaming accessories. The California-based company has a diverse range of glasses that offers pro-level protection against harmful lights during gaming, but we find the Intercept glasses particularly interesting. First, let’s talk about durability. The Gunnar Intercept’s frame is stylish and has multi-barrel hinges that help to strengthen the glasses. Typically, the more the barrels your glasses have, the more durable they are. So you get the drill now, yes?

Moving to the lenses, they are made of plastic, coated with anti-reflective material (to reduce glare), and have a dull tint. Gunnar also added some minimalistic magnification (+0.25 strength) to the lenses. The magnification isn’t heavy, neither would it hurt the eyes. It basically helps you see characters better and clearer. There are three variants of this glass with varying lens tints/color to choose from.

The Intercept gaming glasses effectively blocks out blue light and other harmful UV light, thanks to a unique patented doctor-approved lens technology used in the production of the lenses. The Amber Lens has a slightly yellow tint while the Amber Max Lens sports an orange tint. There’s a Clear Lens, a Sun Lens with a navy blue tint, and a Work Play Lens with a bright sun tint.

With the Gunnar Intercept gaming glasses, there’s nothing stopping you from gaming for long hours; gaming-induced headache, eye fatigue, and sleeplessness becomes a thing of the past. The frame is stylish and futuristic but the nose tip —although curved— doesn’t have a soft or rubber padding. Protracted usage of the glasses might leave an indentation on your nose.

Price and Availability

The Gunnar Intercept gaming glasses sell for $49 — $69, and this depends on the configuration (frame style + lens type) you choose during checkout. All purchase of this product comes with a case/pouch, a microfiber cleaning, and 12 months of warranty. Check it out here on Amazon.

7. GAMEKING Rimless Clip-On Glasses

These are specifically designed for people wearing prescription glasses. And although they are basically just a pair of lenses, they are just as durable as they are stylish. As you’d expected, the GAMEKING clip-on glasses are thin, lightweight (weighs only 8 grams), and easy to assemble and use.

The polycarbonate lens is amber-tinted to reduce direct exposure to direct digital light without compromising on color quality and vibrancy.

The best part? It uses an advanced 5-in-1 coating technology that blocks out up to 85% of harmful high-energy blue light and 100% of UV light. The lenses are also coated with an anti-reflective (AR) material that helps to rid glare, allowing for enhanced and sharper vision.

And it really doesn’t matter how big the lenses are of your prescription glasses are, these clip-on lenses would provide sufficient coverage. The clips are flexibly engineered to support regular clip-on and mid-usage flip-up design. When not in use, you don’t have to totally take them off your glasses.
