GUNNAR Optiks Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 Review: Tactical Gaming Glasses With Premium Appeal

Blue light glasses have become a popular accessory for gamers who spend long hours in front of a screen. While they won’t improve your in-game performance, they can help reduce exposure to blue light and minimize digital eye strain symptoms, such as dry eyes, visual fatigue, and headaches.  For a pair of blue light glasses that can enhance your comfort during extended gaming sessions, check out the GUNNAR Optiks Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11.

The GUNNAR Optiks Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 are limited-edition blue light gaming glasses that feature a tactical single-lens shield design inspired by Soldier 11’s combat optics from Zenless Zone Zero. They also feature GUNNAR’s patented blue light lens technology, which effectively blocks harmful blue light and 100% UV rays, and GUNNAR’s G-Shield Premium lens coating, which makes them anti-reflective and smudge-resistant.

Designed in collaboration with HoYoverse—a global publishing brand owned by miHoYo, the Chinese video game development and publishing studio behind Zenless Zone Zero and extremely popular titles like Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Honkai Impact 3rd—these tactical gaming glasses are built for focus under pressure. They help minimize digital eye strain and improve visual comfort, making them suitable for long gaming marathons without losing focus.

Here’s our review of the GUNNAR Optiks Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11, where we discuss their design, lens technology, and performance when it comes to gaming.

Tactical Operator Design: Built Around Soldier 11’s Tactical Identity

Starting with their design, these limited-edition blue light gaming glasses sport a bold, single-lens shield design inspired by Soldier 11’s combat optics, a playable Agent from the Zenless Zone Zero game. Their frame features a sharp angular geometry with clean black lines and subtle yellow accents, reflecting Soldier 11’s distinctive look and her faction identity. The glasses also feature slim, curved temples (note they’re only available in a standard frame size). Additionally, the temples are also adorned with ZZZ’s iconic logo, adding up to the glasses’ unique design.

The glasses’ single-lens design delivers a seamless panoramic field of view and extends slightly further than your line of sight. Their single-lens’ wraparound shape allows for total immersion while gaming and also offers some additional protection from light sources outside your natural field of view. Their frame also integrates flexible spring hinges, which provide a secure, comfortable fit, even during long gaming sessions.

GUNNAR’s Lens Technology and Blue Light Filtering Performance

The biggest selling point of these blue light gaming glasses isn’t the collaboration itself, but instead GUNNAR’s exclusive lens technology. The GUNNAR Optiks Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 come equipped with blue light blocking lenses featuring GUNNAR’s patented blue light lens technology, which effectively blocks harmful blue light and 100% UV rays. That makes these glasses ideal for casual and hardcore gamers alike, but especially those who spend multiple hours playing video games every day.

Their lenses also feature GUNNAR’s proprietary G-Shield Premium lens coating, which makes them anti-reflective and smudge-resistant, while also giving them hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. This special coating helps reduce distracting reflections and glare from external light sources. Plus, it also helps prevent fingerprint smudges and moisture buildup, making cleaning the glasses much easier.

You can choose between two lens tints, including Amber (blocks 65% blue light), and Sun (specifically designed for outdoor digital device viewing, blocking 90% of blue light at 450nm).

Sadly, unlike some of GUNNAR’s other frames, these blue light glasses are not available with prescription lenses.

Included Accessories

As an officially licensed HoYoverse product, the glasses also come with exclusive Zenless Zone Zero accessories. That includes a premium puffy pouch and a microfiber cleaning cloth featuring Soldier 11 artwork.

Who Are These Blue Light Glasses For?

GUNNAR’s Zenless Zone Zero Soldier 11 glasses cater to gamers, streamers, and professionals who spend long hours in front of digital displays. Its premium lens technology, lightweight frame, and comfortable fit make these blue light glasses a practical choice for gaming on a daily basis. Not to mention their Soldier 11-inspired design adds extra appeal for Zenless Zone Zero fans. If you want a pair of gaming glasses that combine performance with collectible styling, then these frames are an excellent choice.
