"Gaming" glasses vs generic ones?

[swanepoellukas5]

Hi, a few months ago I watched a couple of videos on the Gunnar optiks "gaming" glasses simply cause I was curious, and didn't think they're of any relevance to me, 'cause eye strain has never really been a problem for me. Fast forward a few months and I discovered that my eyes are far more sensitive to stuff in general. They tear up easier, like when a breeze blows by or looking at phone(even if just for a minute or two) and I recently started getting aches and frowning without even noticing. Now this could very easily be fixed if I just stop sitting infront of a monitor for hours and show a bit more dissipline, and I intend to do so, but I still think it would be a good idea to get a pair of computer glasses to lesson the strain, and was wondering whether or not a pair of 40-50$ "gaming" glasses with those weird yellow lenses would do a better job than a pair of those 20$ glasses that you see in a pharmacy, with that coating that looks sorta blue-purply when you look at it from an angle?

I think you'd be better off going to an opticians and discussing the problem with a professional than assuming that is the cause and buying, what i believe to be, a gimmick product.

I've tried gaming glasses from Best Buy and found the tint kind of annoying so avoided that then last year got diagnosed with Type II diabetes so my PCP sent me to a eye doctor and gave me a minor (like +1) prescription that I brought to a local pharmacy and was able to find glasses over the counter for like $20 that I find better then the gaming glasses.
