Tomb Raider is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, marking three decades since Lara Croft first strapped on her thigh holsters and went searching for ancient artefacts around the world.
To mark the occasion, game developer Crystal Dynamics has partnered with glasses company Gunnar to create a pair of spectacles inspired by one of Lara’s most iconic looks.
Gunnar has unveiled its new Tomb Raider Croft glasses, the eyewear company’s own version of Lara’s signature accessory from her 1996 debut. These glasses aren’t a 1:1 recreation of the pair in the game, with Gunnar having updated the design for a more modern aesthetic. However, they do take some clear cues from Tomb Raider’s original design, such as its rounded shape and metal frames. It also includes details such as patterning around the rim, which wouldn’t have been possible to render with ’90s video game graphics.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic wave generated by the sun, light bulbs, and LED screens — including those found in computer monitors and mobile phones. Long hours at your desktop can suppress your body’s melatonin, disrupting your circadian rhythm and making it harder to sleep.
Both the Amber and Amber Max lenses also have “Gunnar Focus,” which is simply an +0.2 diopter lens. This gentle power is intended to give your eyes a little extra help focusing, helping relax muscles and reduce eye strain. Gunnar states that this option is suitable for anyone with 20/20 vision, or who wears contact lenses.
Gunnar’s Tomb Raider Croft glasses start at $99 for Amber, Amber Max, or Sun lenses, or $135 for Amber Sun Shift transition lenses.
