Every company that manufactures lenses for progressive glasses also produces lenses for computer glasses. These lenses are designed for people with presbyopia who spend long hours working in front of a computer. They require vision correction for two different distances: intermediate and near. Computer glasses do not replace progressive glasses, as they are not suitable for long-distance vision. However, they can be used as an additional pair of glasses for those who wear progressive lenses and need a specialized pair for office use.
How Do Progressive Glasses Work?
The lenses in progressive glasses can be either crystalline or organic and improve vision at all distances simultaneously. They incorporate different prescriptions within a single lens without any visual disruption, unlike bifocal lenses.
The lens is divided into three zones:
- The upper field provides clear long-distance vision.
- The lower field enhances near vision.
- The intermediate field is designed as a “channel,” ideal for viewing objects at medium distances

Advantages of Progressive Glasses:
The advantage of progressive glasses is that you no longer need to carry multiple pairs of glasses. You can wear them all day as they enhance vision at all distances.

How Do Computer Glasses Work?
Computer glasses also have lenses made from either crystalline or organic materials, just like progressive lenses. However, they improve vision only for computer and reading distances, while long-distance vision beyond two meters remains blurry.
The lens is divided into three zones:
- The lower field enhances near vision, making reading more comfortable.
- The middle field, which is the largest, improves intermediate vision and is ideal for prolonged and comfortable computer use.
- The upper field is the smallest and provides clear vision up to two meters.

When Do You Need Computer Glasses?
After long hours at the office, do your eyes feel tired, and do you experience headaches? It could be due to work fatigue and noise. However, in many cases, incorrect glasses and poor posture are to blame.
Reading glasses and progressive glasses are not ideal for computer use, leading you to sit at an incorrect distance to see the screen clearly. This can result in eye strain and neck pain. This is where computer glasses come to the rescue.
Their lenses precisely correct the required distances, providing a clear field of vision up to two meters, so you can comfortably see a colleague or client sitting nearby.
It is crucial to adjust your chair height when wearing computer glasses. The screen should be at eye level to prevent neck strain, as shown in the images below.
This applies to both computer and progressive glasses.
