SteelSeries Scope pro gaming glasses include a larger lens for extended peripheral vision, improving overall coverage and adding a consistent transition of sight. The new glasses also feature a SteelSeries-branded flat temple, designed for comfort while wearing gaming headsets.
More than just the design of the frames and temples, SteelSeries Scope lenses are optimized 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:
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).
