Degressive lenses, also known as mid-distance reading glasses, proximity glasses, or computer glasses, are based on innovative lens technology designed to provide optimal visual comfort for near and intermediate vision.
They allow you to see clearly and effortlessly at several essential everyday distances:
- Near vision (30 to 40 cm): reading, writing, using a smartphone
- Mid-distance vision (60 to 80 cm): comfortable computer work
- Intermediate vision (up to 3 meters): interacting with someone without removing your glasses
Why choose degressive lenses?
More natural posture
The wide field of view reduces excessive head movements. Result: less tension in the neck and shoulders.
Reduced eye strain
Smooth transitions between vision zones limit accommodation efforts and prevent dry eyes, stinging, and headaches.
An ideal complement to progressive lenses
Wearers of progressive lenses appreciate degressive lenses as an additional aid for screen work, much more comfortable than classic progressive lenses.
A unique solution for presbyopic individuals without distance vision problems
Emmetropic presbyopes find in degressive lenses a modern alternative to simple magnifying glasses, with a much wider field of vision.
Progressive lenses vs. degressive lenses: what's the difference?
- Progressive lenses: optimized for distance vision with an integrated reading area.
- Degressive lenses: optimized for near vision, with a degression towards intermediate distances.
👉 For computer work and close-up activities, degressive lenses offer superior comfort and a more natural posture.
Presbyopia and screens: a growing need
Today:
- More than 60% of presbyopic individuals use a computer daily
- Nearly 80% complain of eye strain or headaches after a day in front of a screen
Degressive lenses are therefore the recommended solution for any presbyopic person working several hours a day in front of a screen.
