What is Computer Glasses ?

Computer Glasses

Best for: Individuals who wear progressives/bifocals and spend a lot of time with computers and digital screens.

Progressive lenses have three vision zones: Far (straight ahead), Near (just below midline) and Close (lowest part of your lenses). However, if you’re working at the computer all day long, you may be finding yourself keeping your head tilted back so that you can clearly see out of the lower levels of your glasses! Not so comfortable – and you may find yourself with neck and eyestrain. Out of all of our lens guide suggestions, computer glasses are the most important for those who work in an office or spends a majority of their day on the computer. 

Computer Glasses are designed so the widest area of vision is for near (about 8 feet – walking around, being seated in a boardroom etc) and close up (computer work). These vision zones can be customized to your individual needs, but the most popular are:

1. Very Close – Reading – with the largest vision area focusing on reading.
2. Very Close/Close – Computer/Desk work – Best for those spending most of their time at a computer/reading books or digital devices
3. Close/Room – Ideal for those who work both at a computer screen and walk around a room (for example, an automobile showroom)
