Experiencing Eyewear Built For Gamers 

At EPIC46, attendees will have multiple opportunities to put XP-Pro Eyewear to the test: 

• Try Before You Buy – Gamers can register online in advance for a refundable £15 deposit to trial XP-Pro’s gaming eyewear at the event. 

• Partner Zone Activations – Frames will be available at the partner area for players to test while gaming on sponsor hardware. 

• The XP-Pro Eye Revive Station – A dedicated kiosk offering eye-care, tips, advice, and technical support for attendees using trial glasses. 

Clearer, More Comfortable Gaming 

XP-Pro Eyewear is built to help gamers stay sharp, stay focused without fatigue and feel comfortable. The lenses, complete with NanoHex® Technology, QuantumFlare ® Enhancement, and PrecisionPlus, cut glare, ease the eye strain and fatigue that comes with hours of screen time, and filter blue light. This all helps players stay focused when it matters most. They’re also coated to resist oil and sweat, making them easy to keep clean throughout an event.  

The frames are ultra-lightweight, made from a high-quality bio-based material, and carefully designed for headset users, with thin flexible arms and a balanced nose fit that reduces pressure and discomfort. Together, the lenses and frames create eyewear that’s not just stylish but purpose-built for gaming, giving players sharper vision, greater comfort, and the confidence to perform at their best. 

Looking Ahead To A Year Of Activations 

The partnership will see XP-Pro Eyewear featured across three EPIC.LAN events: 

• EPIC46 – 30th October to 2nd November 2025

• EPIC47 – 19th Sunday to 22nd February 2026

• EPIC48 – 16th to Sunday 19 July 2026

With category exclusivity in the eyewear space, XP-Pro will continue to engage directly with the EPIC.LAN community, offering product trials, giveaways, and unique activations throughout the year. 

Jon Winkle, Managing Director at EPIC.LAN, commented: “Eye health is often overlooked in gaming, but it’s vital for players who spend long hours competing or enjoying games at our events. Partnering with XP-Pro Eyewear allows us to introduce high-quality products to our community in an interactive way, while also helping players look after their well-being. We’re really excited to welcome XP-Pro to EPIC46.” 

Siu-Yin Shing, Co-Founder and Head of Brand Engagement at XP-Pro Eyewear, added, “As an optical professional, I’ve seen firsthand how overlooked eyestrain and visual fatigue are in the gaming world. At EPIC.LAN, we’re not just showing up with a brand; we’re bringing real eye health solutions to players who push their vision to the limit.” 

“We created XP‑Pro because competitive gaming isn’t just about reflexes, it’s about sustaining performance", said Ben Summers, Co-Founder and Head of Gaming Experience at XP-Pro Eyewear. "EPIC.LAN is where endurance meets precision, and I’m excited to see our eyewear helping players push harder, feel sharper, and stay in the zone longer.”
