GUNNAR Releases 'Tomb Raider' 30th Anniversary Gaming Glasses

July 16, 2026 - 10:15

GUNNAR Optiks has unveiled a special edition line of gaming eyewear to celebrate three decades of the Tomb Raider franchise. The Croft collection, named after iconic protagonist Lara Croft, combines the brand's signature blue light-blocking lenses with exclusive collector items aimed at longtime fans.

The set includes a pair of gaming glasses designed to reduce eye strain during long sessions, featuring a frame style that nods to the adventurer's rugged aesthetic. Each purchase comes with a limited-edition Dagger of Xian pin, a direct reference to the artifact from the original 1996 game. The pin is crafted as a metal collectible, adding a tangible piece of gaming history for enthusiasts.

GUNNAR has positioned the release as both a functional accessory for modern gamers and a nostalgic tribute. The lenses are tuned to filter high-energy visible blue light, which is commonly emitted by screens and linked to digital eye fatigue. This makes the glasses suitable for marathon playthroughs of the recently remastered Tomb Raider titles or the classic originals.

The timing of the launch aligns with the broader 30th anniversary celebrations for the franchise, which have included re-releases, merchandise, and community events. While the glasses are primarily marketed to gamers, the inclusion of the Dagger of Xian pin suggests an appeal to collectors who value physical memorabilia. The Croft collection is available now through GUNNAR's official channels, with limited quantities expected due to the exclusive nature of the pin.
