Over exposure to light in general, especially blue light, is indeed proven to cause many issues. Largely sleep disorders and eyestrain/headaches for light sensitive people. Both UV and blue light filters exsist and are very real. The science is there. Weather or not you trust this company on its claims of a 65 percent reduction in blue light on the amber lenses is another story. I know nothing of them or how legitimate their claims are. But it wouldn't be hard for someone to test and find out how much blue light is getting through. Perhaps someone already has. If the answer is around 35 percent, than yes, this would be a legitimate way of protecting yourself from a lot of potential issues if you stare at a screen for a good portion of your day. You'd get better sleep, which would in turn make you healthier and you'd be reducing your odds of any eye related issues now or in the future.

Edit: 2 things worth noting:

1. I feel obligated to point out that the best way to achieve reduction in blue light intake is simply to reduce your exposure to it altogether. Turning off screens more often and especially in the hours before bed. But this isn't realistic for everyone in a world where content creators require screens for their income.

2. Most decent mid range to high end montitors have a low blue light mode. As do almost all modern phones. If your monitor and phone already have this, these glasses are most likely redundant.

I can't speak for these glasses but blue light blocking glasses made a huge difference for me.

Before if I played for a very long stretch of time 5+ hours sometimes I would get watery eye like if you was going to cry or even eye twitches

But since having my blue light blocking glasses for a year I never gotten any of those problems anymore

I actually want to get this (the Lightning Bolt edition), but this retailer EyeDictive doesn't seem to support getting prescription lenses on orders, even though the product itself technically supports it (it's available on Gunnar's own website) and EyeDictive even lists in the product specs that this model is "Rx-able".
Am I missing something? Because there didn't seem to be any way to choose a prescription for it, even on checkout.

No use in a good deal on a good pair of glasses if I can't even see while wearing them... Frown

Your best bet is to find a local "specialty eyeglass retailer" in your area. I had to do this because of my big head (I couldn't wear off-the-shelf Gunnar frames). My eyeglass guy hooked me up with Oakley frames and Gunnar lenses and they work great!

Curious if people feel these provide the advertised benefits? Especially if large-scale surveys have been done or anything like that.

They do absolutely nothing. Just serve as a placebo.

Some might posit that 5+ hours of gaming could evoke feeling of sadness

There is no study showing these work but anecdotally they work for me. I can't work without them. Before, I would get migraines looking at a screen all day. I even tried turning the brightness of the monitors down but when I wear these no migraines. They are worth a try.

Yellow tint glasses i have from another manufacturer which I believe are blue light blocking, help sleep if worn from evening until bedtime and against sunlight while doing chores in the day. I did get slight headache after few days of all day wear so i avoid them 1-2 days every few days….link included —- Blue Light Blocking Computer Glasses Anti Eyestrain Unisex(Men/Women) (Twilight and Blue/lens yellow) https://a.co/d/2dEDoKv from kenzhou store on amazon

How often should you replace these? I have a pair that I got about 6 years ago that I've used on and off and wondering if the efficiency of them goes down after a while?
