There was a time when wearing glasses wasn’t cool. But nowadays, glasses are the way to go – especially if you’re a gamer.

About 183 million Americans play online games for at least an hour a day, according to author and game designer Jane McGonigal. The average young person will put in 10,000 hours of gaming by their 21st birthday. That’s a lot of time spent staring at a screen.

As a result, the eyeglass industry has tapped into this market, focused on finding the right bifocals to fix the problems specific to gamers. These gaming glasses promise to minimize eye strain, increase focus and improve endurance with their own unique style and vision.

So do these brands deliver on their promises? Well, that’s tough to say. While some reviewers question the physical and biological benefits, others have given the glasses decent reviews. But if you do spend a lot of time at a desk or on the couch, consider these spectacles an accessible solution.
