GUNNAR Optiks, a leading manufacturer of gaming and computer eyewear, has announced a collaboration with professional Fortnite player and streamer Cody “Clix” Conrod. The partnership introduces a new pair of gaming glasses, dubbed “Goggles,” which were designed by Clix and engineered by GUNNAR to enhance visual performance and reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions.
The New Clix Gaming Goggles
The Clix Gaming Goggles are built with a combination of Premium Engineered Polymer (PEP) and stainless steel, ensuring a lightweight and durable frame. The design features flexible, multi-spring hinges to provide enhanced comfort for long gaming sessions. The lenses incorporate GUNNAR’s patented blue light and UV light-blocking technology, which includes a 0.2 diopter focus power to reduce digital eye strain and fatigue.
Additionally, the glasses come with a G-Shield® Premium Plus lens coating that is resistant to smudges, reflections, and oils. Each pair includes a uniquely designed Clix microfiber soft case and cleaning cloth.
Clix’s Longstanding Use of GUNNAR Eyewear
Clix, who has been using GUNNAR glasses since the age of 13, credits the brand’s technology with helping him maintain his vision and competitive edge in Fortnite. The collaboration marks his first venture into eyewear design, allowing him to create a product tailored to gamers who spend long hours in front of screens.
Availability and Special Launch Offers
The Clix Gaming Goggles are available now for purchase on GUNNAR.com. The first drop sold out, but more have arrived for a limited time. Clix’s official Fortnite skin just dropped as well, and it will feature his custom GUNNAR Goggles as a default.
Addressing Digital Eye Strain in Gamers
The Vision Council of America reports that approximately 70% of U.S. adults experience digital eye strain due to prolonged screen exposure. Common symptoms include headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and disrupted sleep cycles caused by artificial blue light. GUNNAR Optiks’ eyewear aims to mitigate these issues by reducing eye strain, improving clarity, and promoting better visual health.
With this latest collaboration, GUNNAR and Clix aim to provide gamers with protective eyewear that enhances comfort and performance, particularly for those who spend significant time engaged in competitive gaming.
