Progressive glasses, also called mid-distance reading glasses, near-vision glasses or computer glasses , are based on an innovative lens technology designed to offer optimal visual comfort in near and intermediate vision.
They allow for clear and effortless vision at several essential everyday distances:
-
Near vision (30 to 40 cm): reading, writing, using a smartphone
-
Mid-distance vision (60 to 80 cm): working comfortably on a computer
-
Intermediate vision (up to 3 meters): conversing with someone without removing your glasses
Why choose progressive lenses?
-
A more natural posture
The wide field of vision reduces excessive head movements. Result: less tension in the neck and shoulders.
-
Reduced eye strain
Smooth transitions between vision zones limit accommodative effort and prevent dry eyes, stinging, and headaches.
-
An ideal complement to progressive lenses
Wearers of progressive lenses appreciate degressive glasses as an additional piece of equipment for working on a screen, which is much more comfortable than a classic progressive.
-
A unique solution for presbyopes, flawless by far
Emmetropic presbyopes find in progressive 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 zone.
-
Progressive lenses: optimized for near vision, with a gradual reduction towards intermediate distances.
👉 For computer work and close-up activities, progressive lenses offer superior comfort and a more natural posture.
Presbyopia and screens: a growing need
Today :
-
More than 60% of people with presbyopia use a computer daily
-
Nearly 80% complain of eye strain or headaches after a day in front of a screen.
Progressive lenses are therefore the recommended solution for any presbyopic person working several hours a day on a screen.
