Gamer Glasses Claim to Make You a Better Player

They stop you from getting eye fatigue because they are layered with the natural chemical in your eye that reduces glare from light, it has nothing to do with "yellow light" especially since the light coming from the sun is white

Spoiler: ThinkGeek Gunnar Page Says

You see, high-efficiency fluorescent lighting and computer monitors in our offices are highly shifted towards the blue-end of the spectrum. The problem is, blue light focuses differently on the retina than the rest of the spectrum. Ever look at a blue LED and noticed a halo around the light? Staring at it gives you a headache, doesn't it? Guess why! Your eyes are straining to try and bring that fuzzy spot into focus, and it just can't!

What you need is a way to filter out some of those blues that give your eyes so much trouble. Our new Gunnar Computer Glasses shift that light to the warmer end of the spectrum, giving your tired eyes a chance to recover. Not only do they filter blue light, they also reduce glare, helping with eye strain even more.

Perhaps its a bit of both...regardless of the colour of light coming from the sun, the concentrated bit we see when we look up is yellow, and thats good enough for me!

It might be, but I wouldn't cite Thinkgeek.com, I hate those assholes.

The worst thing is, I wanted SO MUCH to like them, but after buying a wifi detecting shirt that looked cool but was a piece of shit, and a $100 video watch that upon arrival was obviously a cheap Chinese counterfeit (the English directions were filled with ridiculous typos, and it literally lasted 2 hours before the screen went black and it stopped working) I have lost all faith in them.

Their stuff is usually overpriced too.

Science, or it didn't happen.

Yeah I tend not to shop their, I got my glasses off eBay for a cheaper price and in a cooler style than what was available there. But its a good place for finding cool stuff to buy somewhere else

Though when I did buy something there that faulted, I contacted them and they sent a replacement free of charge without me having to send the original back or anything

That study is bogus.

None of those links are to medical sites run by heath professionals - in fact, most of them are run by companies selling light therapy devices.

I've spoken to many a doctor on this topic and not one yet has had anything positive to say of light therapy or its use in treating any known condition.

Where is your proof? How do you discredit my post without offering anything besides anecdotal evidence? There was one link that I will say may be biased (light therapy canada) but the other links are from an independent research site, the American Academy of Dermatology and PubMed.gov. Even if you decide only to use info from pubmed.gov, there is still plenty of information on that site alone to help prove my side. Look it up.

If my links are "bogus" than so be it, but you have yet to do anything to prove that besides saying that you spoke to doctors. I spoke to doctors about it too and they told me it works well for Seasonal Affective Disorder (which I have). Of course I didn't say that, because anecdotal evidence means nothing without evidence.

I looked for research saying light therapy is ineffective across the board and found nothing. How about you show me proof for your statement instead of brushing off the validity of mine.
