SteelSeries along with strategic partner GUNNAR Optiks has introduced the SteelSeries Scope digital performance eyewear for gamers in both prescription and nonprescription.

According to the press release:

“The new line of co-branded pro gaming glasses using GUNNAR i-AMP lens technology are designed to improve visual efficiency, endurance, and recovery during gaming sessions. Expanding upon GUNNAR’s line of advanced gaming eyewear, SteelSeries collaborated with the company to customize a design with a larger, extended lens and a lightweight, comfortable frame. The eyewear provides gamers a visually enhanced experience while minimizing eyestrain and fatigue.”

SteelSeries Scope pro gaming glasses include a larger lens for extended peripheral vision, improving overall coverage and adding a consistent transition of sight, so claims SteelSeries. The new glasses also feature a SteelSeries-branded flat temple, designed for comfort while wearing gaming headsets.

The SteelSeries Scope lenses are supposedly optimised to enhance a user’s visual performance. GUNNAR’s proprietary i-AMP lens technology is an optical platform that includes the following components that create this visual advantage. The information below is unedited from the press release:

– iONik lens tint optimizes light transmission and color contrast to filter out harsh light and reduce eyestrain.
– i-Fi multi-stage lens coatings filter transmitted light and protect the lens, with anti-reflective properties that cuts down on distracting glare and extraneous light.
– diAMIX lens material offers an optically pure viewing experience with ultra-light, ergonomic properties.
– fRACTYL lens geometry mimics nature to aid the natural focusing power of the cornea and lens while creating a preferential ocular microclimate.
– Rx lens available in the Scope frame through Carl Zeiss Vision (see Eye Care Professional for pricing).

The SteelSeries Scope Pro Gaming Glasses are pegged at US$99.99 (±R690). No local availability and pricing information could be sourced by the time of publication.
