Office Lenses (or Degressive): The Solution for Computer Professionals
Spending 8 hours in front of a screen is not natural for our eyes. If you experience headaches, eye burning, or neck tension at the end of the day, the problem might be the glasses you are using. Office lenses, technically known as degressive lenses, are specifically designed for those in a workspace environment: they offer a wide, sharp field of vision for the computer and desk, providing comfort that neither reading lenses nor progressives can match.
Why choose office lenses instead of standard prescription lenses?
Many people make the mistake of using standard reading glasses, but office lenses are in another league because they manage distances dynamically:
- Goodbye to "Computer Vision Syndrome": Unlike reading lenses (which focus only at 40 cm), degressive lenses allow you to see both documents and the monitor clearly (60-80 cm), eliminating visual stress.
- Extra-wide Visual Fields: While progressive lenses have a narrow intermediate corridor, office lenses dedicate almost the entire lens surface to computer vision, making digital reading panoramic and relaxed.
- Ergonomic Posture: You will no longer have to tilt your head back or lean toward the monitor to focus. Office lenses allow you to maintain a natural neck and shoulder position.
Selection and Fitting at the Ottica IT Laboratory
The success of office eyewear depends on the precision of its configuration. At Ottica IT, we take care of every technical detail:
- Workspace Analysis: We help you choose the lens based on your monitor distance and desk setup (single screen, laptop, or multiple monitors).
- Essential Blue Light Treatment: We always recommend pairing office lenses with a blue light filter. This shields harmful emissions from LED displays, improving contrast and drastically reducing evening fatigue.
- Millimetric Centering: We use digital measurement technologies to align the lens's focal point with your posture in front of the PC, ensuring immediate adaptation without dizziness.
Three Configurations for Your Working Comfort
Office (or degressive) lenses are not all the same. Depending on your role, you can choose different depths of field:
- Desk Configuration (Near): For those working almost exclusively on paper documents and keyboards. Maximum width at 40-80 cm.
- Computer Configuration (Intermediate): The most popular choice. It offers perfect monitor vision and allows clear sight up to 2 meters (ideal for those greeting clients at their desk).
- Office Configuration (Room): Extends vision up to 4 meters. Perfect for those who move around often, participate in meetings, or work in open-space offices.
