Conclusion

And so we come to the end of the review. Are the SteelSeries Scope Pro Gaming Glasses a gimmick? Well, if you have read up to this point you will be aware that they are certainly not. GUNNAR are serious about eyewear and likewise, SteelSeries aren't here to provide glitzy products to make money. These glasses really do work.

Eyewear is unheard of within the gaming market, but when you consider all the work that your eyes do in pinpointing enemy players and sustaining explosive lighting effects it ought to be something of importance. Eyes get tired and eyestrain damage can occur (even long-term) if your eyes are exposed to long sessions in front of the monitor but thanks to the SteelSeries Scope glasses these problems are a thing of the past. Don't just take my word for it either, over the previous page is a survey that was conducted by GUNNAR and the evidence is there from unbiased members of the public.



After extended periods of time playing FPS games like Crysis 2 and Call of Duty Black Ops my eyes dry out and often hurt. You may have noticed this yourself, that after a period of time playing games you look in the mirror and your eyes are blood-shot. This is because you aren't blinking enough, the eyes are fixed on the screen - straining on focus and drying out. The warmth of the lens on the Scope glasses helps to prevent this drying out thanks to their shape, design and colour-swatch. Not only is the onscreen action warmer but it is magnified also. Action is sharp and the eyes are no longer straining or drying out.

Priced at around £90 inc. VAT this is going to appear steep to the amateur but not so for the avid gamer. Remember vision is a valued sense, both in gaming and in living a healthy life - so looking after your eyes can only be deemed as a positive thing.

Pros
+ Great for the avid gamer
+ Relaxes the eyes when gaming
+ Presents sharp, clear imagery
+ Prevents eyestrain
+ Lightweight - comfortable for hours

Cons
- Quite pricey for the amateur
