Whether your loved ones love to hit the green, hit the court, or hit the PlayStation, we’ve got the perfect items to improve their game on all levels.

Gaming Glasses

According to the Vision Council, 70 percent of US adults surveyed reported having some kind of digital eye strain as a result of using digital devices for hours at a time. This type of eye strain can cause dry or red eyes; blurred vision; headaches; back pain; neck pain; or general fatigue.

Gaming glasses were created to ease the strain placed on your eyes by staring at artificial light, or digital blue light, for hours at a time. Gaming glasses come in many colors, but most notably have a yellow tint to them that reduces glare.

GUNNAR Lens Technology: GUNNAR, a brand that we are proud to offer at our Optical Boutique, has developed a cutting edge lens designed to alleviate all common issues associated with digital eye strain from gaming. According to the GUNNAR website, this new lens technology aids natural focusing to provide sharper, clearer vision with custom tints and premium coatings to block high energy, artificial blue light, UV and glare to protect your vision.

GUNNAR is just one of the many brand options we have at our Scottsdale Optical Boutique for the gamer in your home.

Golf Glasses

Vision can be a driving force behind an above par golf game. Unlike general purpose progressive addition lenses designed for everyday use, the Golf Lens is perfect for days spent on the course. This revolutionary lens is designed to meet the visual needs of each player by focusing on the score card, the ball, and the green in the distance.

Golf lenses were developed to absorb blue light to help you read greens better and follow your ball in flight more easily. Golf frames were specifically designed to not interfere with the direct gaze of the ball, so that when you tilt your head downward to swing there is no interference from the bottoms of your frames.

Surprise your family and friends with a unique and sensible gift this holiday season. Stop by our Scottsdale Optical Boutique for more information.
