Question: Advantages And Dis-Advantages Of Using Glasses When Gaming For Several Hours?
Answers:
If you have been prescribed glasses or contact lenses for computer or TV then wear them. That goes without saying.
When concentrating on the screen look away and focus in the distance (more than 6 metres) for a minute every 15 mins, and and take a longer break every two hours, whether you wear specs, lenses or nothing.
If you are on a PC and game a lot, make sure you have a flat panel LCD or an anti glare screen. For glasses make sure you have an anti-reflection coating.

If you can't see well enough to do the games without then you don't have a lot of choice. However you don't get teh same field of vision with glasses which makes it a disadvantage gaming. Also if you don't wear them regularly your depth perception is slightly different which might make you worse at gaming.
Glasses won't dry out your eyes like contact lenses do. However you might feel the strain on your eyes due to the lenses.
