We all finished a late-night gaming session with tired eyes or a splitting headache, you’re not alone. Between LED screens, RGB setups, and marathon sessions on PC, PS5, or Xbox, we gamers are exposed to large amounts of blue light. Fortunately, blue light glasses, especially those designed specifically as gaming eyewear, can make a huge difference without breaking the bank.
This guide will help you understand what blue light glasses are, how they reduce eye strain while gaming, and which affordable gaming glasses under £70 are worth your attention.

What do blue light glasses do again?

Blue light filter glasses are designed to block or absorb part of the high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted by screens. Basically, it blocks blue light, which exposure to in the evening can disrupt melatonin production and affect sleep quality. Guess who stays up late at night behind their screens? Yes, gamers and streamers.
Though in gaming contexts, the best blue light filter glasses for streaming and gaming should not only help reduce visual fatigue, but also improve focus during long sessions.

Why gamers need dedicated gaming eyewear

Not all glasses are made equal. Standard computer glasses block only minimal blue light, while gaming eyewear is engineered for extended screen time and precise colour contrast.

High-quality options like our GLHF Glasses use colour enhancing lenses that make in-game tones more vibrant without oversaturation, which is perfect for competitive titles like Valorant, Apex Legends, or CS2. We also have models that come with a claw, so they are headset compatible glasses, meaning they fit comfortably under large gaming headphones without causing pressure.
