Importance of Gaming glasses in the midst of Quarantine?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

With the global lock down, there’s no means of entertainment for kids and adults. Hence the more people are getting quarantined in their home, the more we have the jest to remain engaged. We are frequently on a lookout for something that keeps us busy. With so much time, there’s nothing to do which is making us feel more frustrated and alone. People have now switched to the ultimate pleasure given to us via the digital world i.e video gaming. Video gaming has turned to be one of the most popular means of entertainment that is keeping us sane and sociable.

Video gaming during Lockdown

According to the latest news from Verizon, US video games have increased upto 75% during the first week of quarantine. In China, the popular PC digital game distribution platform called Steam got the highest amount of users of total 19.1 million in the Feb when the country was in complete shutdown. Gaming has now become less of a hobby but an emerging passion among people who long for getting occupied. The gaming Industry, like Netflix and other online streaming platforms, saw a hit record in  sales for the past few weeks. Call of Duty company Activision Blizzard, saw 407 million people playing games in the first three months of this year. While its latest Warzone got 60 million players in its initial launch in March.

It is a no brainer why there’s a significant amount of increase in online players, the lockdown is pushing to extreme boredom. With high video gaming, gaming glasses aka Blue blocker glasses are also seen in the highest demand. There’s no doubt in the benefits of playing video games but, it also comes with few side effects.

Let’s list of the pros and cons of playing video games during quarantine

Benefits of Playing Video Games

Help with growing anxiety while being Indoors

Not all people are introverts like me, and for those, the anxiety of staying indoors can increase predominantly in these tough times. With playing video games, you start to spend more time doing something that helps you divert your mind. Video games need high concentration that helps you to clear your brain of the things that are resulting in anxiety, and stress.

Helps to connect with your friends

Video games allow you to stay connected with your friends. It’s not via a boring phone call and stale conversation line, it lets you have fun while interacting. If you miss your friends and can’t see them in person, then video gaming is the right way. You can play with people who you are friends with and even those who are complete strangers. It’s the best way to expand and waste your time on.

Stay Productive

Productivity comes from exercise, environment and many other factors. Being confined to a room with no contact and person around, productivity is bound to slow down. We have piled up work but the will to do them is lost somewhere. You think about the problem, virus, your loved ones and this consuming circle will drive you nuts and lead you to shutdown. Don’t let that happen, do yoga, call your friends and for active mental wellbeing -play video games. It takes off your mind from a lot of things happening right now that are completely useless to spend your time on.

Disadvantage of Video Gaming

Harmful Blue light rays penetration 

Playing video games for hours can have a serious impact on your visual condition. This happens when harmful blue light rays from your device’s screen penetrate into your eyes. It causes various visual discomfort and painful eye conditions that create chaos in your daily lives. Blue light rays are quite detrimental for your eyes and along with our screen, the sun and LED lights also transmit these rays. There’s no other way to stop the active transmission of these rays from your eyes other than the use of protective glasses.

Various Eye Problems 

Playing for hours in front of your screen with high concentration causes various problems in the eyes. The blue light rays penetrate into the retina and lead with various visual problems like eye-strain, headache, burning sensation, watery-eyes, blurry vision and many more. This eye condition seems quite insignificant initially but later it turns out to be highly disruptive and painful. It can also alter the clarity of your vision by turning it blurry and unclear.

Change in your Sleeping Pattern 

Let’s say, you play video games at night or just sit down for a quick game and plan to be off to sleep. It won’t happen with blue light rays active transmission in your eyes. In the night, the blue light rays from the screen cease the secretion of a sleep inducing hormone called melatonin. With no active production of melatonin, you don’t feel sleepy at all and instead feel awake and energetic. Which leads to you playing video games till 4 or 5 am in the morning. The change in your sleeping pattern is extremely unhealthy and harmful for you. You’ll be more irritated, sleepy and unproductive throughout your day in the next morning.

All these negative side effects of video gaming can cause severe problems in your eyes. Hence wearing gaming glasses or blue light glasses is strictly recommended by ophthalmologists. Go ahead and order glasses online at Specscart with premium blue light quality. All the glasses are fully loaded with free anti-glare, anti-scratch, anti-UV and Impact resistance coating. You’ll get blue light coating on any prescription and non-prescription glasses in a stunning range of frames. Get their glasses for a free home trial for up to 4 frames till 7 days.
