My (short) Review of the VISYN Gaming Glasses

[LordSpymaster]

 

Hi, 

 

 

 

Some weeks back I had asked IVG members to help us with an Eye Fatigue while using screens (example: Gaming, phones, TV, etc) related research project (see here). 

Tl;dr- It was basically to see how much fatigue people experienced if at all & remedies followed for the same. 

 

As a part of that, we had bought a pair of gaming glasses and tested them as a layperson. (more info in that thread^).

 

So, since I have these glasses, I felt I should post a small review for them. 

 

So here is my review from the POV of a layperson:

 

VISYN Gaming Glasses (Amazon: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B076CFLX6F)

 

In this review I will be focusing on some basic parameters: Build Quality, Cost, Solving the Problem.

 

Price:
In our research (see above) and by my own choice, I was only willing to pay around 2k (max) for a good pair of gaming glasses. So, the Gunnars, priced at 4K ish was out of the question. That left Visyn & another brand No Blu (2.3k ish). I decided to go with the Visyn ones since they did not hit the pocket too hard and the No Blu ones seemed to have a high degree of yellow tint (as per their pictures & Amazon reviews). 

 

Build Quality:

The Visyn glasses are made of sturdy plastic frames and metal joints. They are not heavy, which is good since they go on my face, and they give the impression of toughness (although I wouldn’t suggest dropping them). The black colour is quite nice too (I prefer white glasses in general but white may get dirty). 

The lenses are hard and thick, i.e. they don’t give the impression of being thin and prone to breaking. They don't contain a high yellow tint and it is almost unnoticeable. This is good since other brands I saw show a high level of yellow tint, which quite frankly I find annoying. I mean, everything is yellow, and then playing CIV 6 is a headache. 

Note about the packaging: Good, no issues here. The case is sturdy, and lens cloth is provided.

All in all, build is nice.

 

 

Solving the Problem:

The problem I faced when using a PC for an extended time (Epic Speed & King Difficulty on CIV 6) is that after a set time, my eyes would start to remind me to stop. And I want to play that one more turn ;). So, I started looking into ways to prevent this so-called ‘eye fatigue’ (more in this thread). Apart from the 20-20-20 rule, which I frankly forget to follow after the first 2/3 times, I was looking for a more permanent solution. 

So I read online about yellow tint glasses & how they help in combating this ‘eye fatigue’. And I don’t like the tint, therefore I took the one with lowest tint i.e. Visyn.

After wearing them for almost a week, every time I used the PC, the head/eye aches seemed to lessen to a great extent. They’re not gone, which I feel is a ramification of my prolonged PC usage, but they are kept at bay and turn up near about the end of the long game (when I’m just about to Nuke the last capital remaining). 

So, in a nutshell, they do work. Your mileage may vary, but for me, I am happy. Plus the tint is barely noticeable after the initial settling in period has ended. 

 

% Tint: 

Colours through Camera: 

Colours through Lens of the Glasses: 

Conclusion:

If you, like me, face issues of head/eye aches after long sessions on the PC, PS4 or Xbox, do try the Visyn Gaming Glasses. They’re working perfectly! Plus, the company even sent a manual type thing that detailed how to use them in unison with the 20-20-20 rule, which is a nice touch.

Thanks for reading!

Really appreciate your review and it sounds like a VFM product. I am thinking of buying it. But, the seller on Amazon is a newly launched seller. Could you please provide some info about which seller you bought it from, and about packaging.

Hi there!

 

Thanks for reading my review, I am just trying to give back to IVG since people (including you too hopefully   ) filled up my survey!

 

About the seller/VISYN:

 

So we too were a bit apprehensive about the glasses, since the seller (2K Sales) was newly launched. But then we reasoned that it would be a risk worth taking since we have spent a lot more on PS4 games Lol!

 

So we went ahead and ordered. And our overall experience was amazing!

Why? Because:

• After ordering, we got a message from the seller wherein they did a small explanation about what blue light is and how VISYN protects it. Simultaneously, they informed us that the glasses were being packaged. (See Below)
• Packaging was amazing! Proper bubble wrap outside, and inside the box was another layer of packaging in which the actual glasses were kept. Take a look: https://i.imgur.com/qfYZVhr.jpg
• The seller sent a small pamphlet type thing that was like a welcome/thank you letter on one side and had the same explanation (which they had sent earlier via amazon mail) printed on the other. This was a nice human touch!
• We texted the seller on WhatsApp, for the purposes of our survey and to understand the blue light issue, and they were very helpful.
• Shipping was via Amazon's EasyShip i.e. they handed over the package to Amazon Itself, who delivered it to us. 2K Sales' shipping policies confirm it: https://www.amazon.in/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B076CFLX6F&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A21TJRUUN4KGV&orderID=&seller=A18AKB4BE9F871&tab=&vasStoreID=
• Shipping was free and easily trackable via the Amazon order page so no issues there.

Overall I am very impressed by their attitude and overall experience from ordering to packaging to shipping etc. I would recommend that you go ahead and purchase. And anyway, there is always COD if you are unsure, although we paid via card and were satisfied. 

 

Hope this helps!

(Do let me know if you want any other info )

Quick question... umm... Are you the seller yourself ? Or, affiliated somehow ?

Sorry about the cynicism but, kinda feels that way.

I thought about it too. The entire thing felt like a (re)seller.  

 

If he is indeed one, he should rather come out and that would actually help him more.

True

I was confused for a second there but now i get it.

Probably because I'm all praises for this random product and the review is detailed it might be felt that I'm affiliated with the seller...

Sorry about that, but no I'm just a CAT student and don't run any business.

I had just shared a review here because I was grateful that people had filled up the survey and then stuck around long enough for me to be able to post the results. So I felt that I can give back somehow.

And I'm bad at sales, I haven't even sold everything from my last FS thread I'd posted about 2 years back. [emoji29]

Dont want to mislead anybody, my apologies for doing so.

Mods can please close/lock this thread if you feel I've gone against any forums rules.

Thanks for Reading [emoji846]

No worries. It's all good. Thanks for sharing your review. 

[quixote_1989]

I have been using gunnar glasses (untill recently) and they do give comfort to the eyes for long pc,tab,gaming sessions. Keeps the eye moist,less tired( also less headaches for people who wake up with a headache after a night gaming session). But the yellow tint takes something away from the graphics.(especially lightening and ligetening rays)

 

After i stopped using them about a year back or so ( i still have them in my room all the time), ive been playing in well lit enviroment(even at night). I do meditation,pranayama regularly .that helps to reduce eye strain and stress caused to eyes by continous gaming.

 

Also try to blink lot more in between gaming sessions( esp when spare time during matchmaking or in lobby) or a better thing to do is to get up and look at distant objects(esp something like trees which has soothing effect on eyes) in between gaming sessions.

 

Another good practise is to set the brightness level of tabs,phones,monitor tv to a comfortable level and not at very high. Very high may give you better gfx but at the cost of headaches and constant eye fatigue.
