Prizm Gaming lenses

Do your eyes hurt after a few hours of playing The Sims? Is your vision blurry after a Sunday afternoon jumping into Fortnite with some friends? The world of gaming has rapidly evolved… as more new and exciting games become available, we want to spend more time being transported to these bright, adventurous virtual worlds.

But along with our increased gaming time, eye strain has also increased thanks to more screen use. Optimising our vision to fit the gaming lifestyle is more important than ever before. And Prizm Gaming is one step ahead, redefining the challenges of eye strain, without compromise.

“Prizm Gaming lenses filter harmful blue light while keeping your screen sharp, clear, and comfortable for long sessions.”

The harmful effects of blue light exposure

You might think it’s harmless to stare at a screen for hours on end. After all, we all want to get as much playtime as possible when jumping into our next online match. But there is a lot more going on in the background when it comes to your eye health.

Screens produce a harsh blue light that forces your eyes to work harder in order to focus on words or points on the screen. And that’s because images on a screen don’t have the same sharp contrast and variation as objects that you see in the real world. This means your eyes are working double time in order to change focus. This constant strain can lead to headaches, itchy and/or tired eyes, and even blurry vision.

But these symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg. Here are some additional effects of blue light exposure:

  • High-energy blue light exposure can literally exhaust the eyes.
  • Blue light exposure when the sun goes down can disrupt sleep patterns and your circadian rhythm.
  • Melatonin production and overall sleep patterns can be disrupted with prolonged overexposure to blue light from screens.

But this doesn’t mean you need to throw your video game console out into the garbage. Gaming lenses are an effective and simple way to combat these harmful blue light effects.

Play one more round with gaming lenses

Gaming lenses are unique; they’re not quite like sunglasses that use a dark tint to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Instead, gaming lenses are designed to specifically lessen the effects of blue light. Available in prescription and non-prescription gaming lenses make it easier for your eyes to focus without ruining the finely tuned resolution of your screen.

By wearing gaming glasses, you can help preserve your vision and reduce the harsh blue light emitting from your screen. And of course, gaming lenses allow you to spend more time doing what you love – playing video games!

Other benefits of gaming lenses include:

  • Maximum blue light blocking. With the help of an amber lens tint, blue light blockers with maximum protection can help reduce eye fatigue by cutting down on blue light exposure.
  • Anti-reflective and anti-glare coatings. These coatings work together to keep out-of-focus or ghost images, as well as refresh rate flickering from distracting your view. This helps create a clear, comfortable image.
  • A comfortable fit. Gaming lenses don’t have a wild, out of the box design to them. They fit comfortably just like your favourite pair of sunglasses!

“Designed for gamers, these lenses reduce glare, enhance contrast, and help protect your eyes late into the night.”

Prizm Gaming lenses are here to change the game

With so many gaming lenses available, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out which lenses are the best for you. Plus, there are so many styles on offer so choosing the best gaming lenses also comes down to your preferred fashion style.

But one of the most important factors to consider when choosing gaming lenses is how well it can protect your eyes from harmful blue light. Thankfully, Oakley Prizm Gaming can help make this decision a lot easier.

Oakley Prizm Gaming lenses are designed to enhance visual contrast. It features blue light-filtering technology designed to reduce 40% of blue light within the 380-500nm range to help protect from natural and artificial sources anywhere you go, indoors and outdoors.

With Prizm Gaming lenses, you can level up your gaming experience by harnessing the power of Oakley Authentic Prescription lenses with Prizm Lens Technology and exceptional blue light filtration.

The challenge of creating a lens with blue light filtering technology is that it can result
in a lens that has a very yellow appearance. So if style is one of your biggest priorities, don’t worry. With Prizm Gaming, customers can own an aesthetically-pleasing prescription lens that provides sharp vision and enhances visual contrast with exceptional blue light filtering. With Prizm Gaming lenses, you can get the best of both worlds.

Optometrist

Ian Donald had a vision.

He was going to become a dentist. It seemed like a good plan, until his careers adviser gave him a brochure on optometry. It opened up a whole new world. The eye intrigued him. It fascinated him. Optometry captivated him. And so his whole focus changed.

Ian went on to do work experience in the very office he owns today. While studying Optometry at the prestigious UNSW, he spent hours working in that same office, doing all the things no one else wanted to do. Filing. Filing. Filing.

Learning, learning, learning. It’s part of who he is.

Even today he is constantly training and retraining, studying and staying up to date with the latest technology in eye health.

So what else energises Ian?

‘Riding my bike, being part of the community, and helping people see. It gives me the best feeling possible. We take it for granted, because we do it all day, every day. It’s such a gift to be able to give people peace of mind.’ Read More
