Borderlands 4 gets its own glasses range so you look cool on Kairos

Gunnar Optiks makes great gaming glasses. Let’s start this with that. About a year ago, I finally got my hands on a pair of their Fallout 4 gaming glasses, designed to reduce blue light and eye strain from staring at a monitor all day and every day. They are far and away the best gaming glasses I have ever tried.

Some exciting news then, when it arrived that Gunnar has now launched an officially-licensed range for the upcoming Borderlands 4 – and they have even got a dude to cosplay the look, as you can see from above. Poor him.

“The Borderlands franchise has always stood out with its wild aesthetic, over-the-top characters, and a visual style that’s impossible to miss. With the new Borderlands collection, we set out to capture that same chaotic energy and give fans something wearable that feels straight out of the universe they love,” so says a Gunnar spokesperson.

The Borderlands 4 range is called Ripper and features two pairs – Gunnar’s Amber (GBLF 65) lenses for optimal gaming protection and Sun (GBLF 90) lenses, “giving fans the power to customize their visual loadout.”

I didn’t write that last line. Just confirming that that didn’t come from my keyboard.

So if you are a big Borderlands fan and looking for both a unique collectible as well as doing your eyeballs a favor, you can order the Ripper series directly from Gunnar today.

Why use gaming glasses?

The Vision Council of America estimates that 70% of U.S. adults experience digital eye strain because of the increasing use of digital devices. In addition to the headaches, focusing strain, and dry eye issues caused by the lack of blinking, the artificial blue light emitted by our screens disrupts melatonin production and circadian rhythm, affecting the body’s natural sleep cycle.

Glasses, such as the Ripper filter, most, if not all, of that out, and their glasses are “the only patented gaming and computer eyewear recommended by doctors to protect and enhance your vision.”
