How Light Can Impact Gamers
Gaming sessions can last for hours—and for many people, the visual intensity of video gaming can take a toll. Bright LED screens, fast-moving visuals, and high-contrast environments deliver a nonstop barrage for your eyes. Over time, the intensity of this exposure can make you feel sensitive to light or experience other visual discomfort. In fact, these issues are reported by as much as 90% of people who are regularly exposed to screens.1
What makes gaming particularly demanding on your eyes is not just the brightness, but the quality of light itself. Blue light from screens—especially at 450nm and below—is difficult for the eyes to focus, which means they have to work harder to see clearly and comfortably, especially after prolonged exposure.2,3
Other wavelengths can also be problematic. Blue-green light between 480–520nm has been shown to be especially irritating for individuals who are already sensitive to light. That means any light they encounter from screens, fluorescents, and LEDs can be a threat for their eyes.
This makes managing your light exposure while playing video games both a comfort strategy and a performance one. Whether you're playing competitively or casually, using the right eyewear can help you stay focused and comfortable longer.4
Why Gamers Trust TheraSpecs for Light Management
TheraSpecs offers a range of lenses that target the most problematic types of light gamers face—from subtle screen discomfort to extreme hypersensitivity. Whether you need a pair to fit under your headset, wear over your existing prescription, or just want a lightweight style that feels good for hours—we’ve got you covered.
Prescription, non-prescription, and custom lens options are also available.
TheraSpecs Flex delivers our most subtle tint, and still blocks significantly more blue light than typical clear or lightly-tinted gaming glasses. Ideal for long sessions of casual or moderate gaming, for general screen time, or if you are mildly sensitive to light and need to take the edge of the brightness of your screen. Shop Flex Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs Contrast HEV™ filters the high-energy visible blue light just above UV, which our eyes do not focus well. This yellow-tinted lens helps improve visual contrast while reducing glare from screens and room lighting.5Bonus: it's light enough to be worn legally while driving at night in most locations. Shop Contrast HEV Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Pro™ maximizes the filtering power of FL-41 to remove problematic wavelengths of light emitted by fluorescents, LEDs, and other sources. If you want the strongest protection from artificial light while gaming, we recommend starting here. Shop FL-Pro Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Blend™ also uses FL-41 and trades some protection against irritating artificial light for more natural color perception. Some people may also prefer the plum color of FL-Blend. Shop FL-Blend Lenses ➜
We recommend both FL-Pro and FL-Blend for stronger protection if you are already sensitive to light. By filtering most strongly in the problematic range, these lenses can also help people to live well with migraine, as part of an overall light management plan.
TheraSpecs Z-Blue™ offers robust protection for people highly sensitive to flashing, flickering, or strobing lights. Z-Blue Max or Extra is recommended for extreme hypersensitivity. Shop Z-Blue Lenses ➜
