When I’ve tried glasses designed for extended computer viewing and/or gaming in the past, I have been less than impressed. I found they tended to be cheaply made in regard to both lenses and frames. I also found the tinting to be too dark, and they made everything look almost golden.
Thanks to the folks at Gunnar, who sent me a pair of the recently released Witcher “White Wolf” Edition Amber gaming glasses for review, I can honestly say that not all gaming glasses are created equal.
The Gunnar Witcher Collection – Great For Marathon Gaming Sessions
Between gaming, content creation, streaming, and watching TV shows and movies, I literally can spend up to 10 hours a day looking at my monitors. I wore the Gunnar Witcher glasses for extended periods for a couple of days and was immediately able to tell the difference. My eyes seemed to relax thanks to the blue light filtering that the lenses offer. After a while, I forgot I was looking through them. Amber glasses usually make things look too yellow/gold to me. The Gunnar Witcher: White Wolf Edition far surpassed what I was expecting from gamer glasses.
Gunnar Defines Quality
The Gunnar Witcher: White Wolf Edition gaming glasses and the included case, microfiber pouch, and cleaning cloth are really top-notch. The formed hard case is stamped with a White Wolf Emblem, the pouch does as well, and the microfiber cleaning cloth has an image of Geralt casting a spell to make the lenses spotless. As an added touch, one of the arms has the runes from the game etched into it.
The Witcher Collection eyewear is available in various tint levels, and the pair for you can have your prescription (at additional cost).
I’m seriously considering getting a pair with the level of readers I use. (MG: This is a good point. Elaborate more on why you are seriously considering it)
