The Horizon blue light-blocking gaming glasses in sleek Obsidian is where fashion meets innovation. The combination of its minimalist, rounded square frame design with premium Morph-Flex® 2.0 technology makes this model feather-light, highly durable, and extremely flexible.

Adjustable nose pads and temple tips in non-slip rubber allow for the perfect fit to your head shape. From the boardroom to the game room, this frame has you covered. The included and completely clear Rezme™ Suppressor lens is fueled by a proprietary light absorption technology that absorbs enough harmful blue light emitted by your screen to protect your eyes to a moderate level while seeing true color. Relaxed eyes and comfortable vision both contribute to noticeably increased focus for whatever you need to accomplish. The lens is near clear and does not distort color. Using this lens regularly can increase melatonin levels by 96%, cognition by 47%, and reduce headaches and migraines, which may improve sleep, performance, and overall health. The lenses are finished with a premium hard coating for increased durability, an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare, and a water & dirt repellent coating for easy maintenance. PLAY HARD. SLEEP HARD.®Top comment"i honestly got them mostly cosmetically and in terms of build and frame im very satisfied. the actual lens is nice too i have no problem using them for long periods of time both at the computer and when im out and about....They feel really cheap for how expensive they are."
