Office glasses (also known as relaxation or degressive lenses) are specialist lenses designed with office working conditions in mind – monitor, documents, conversation with a colleague. They optimise vision in the range from approximately 40 cm to 4 m, offering a wider intermediate zone than progressive glasses.
Compared to standard reading glasses, office lenses provide clear vision of both the screen and the whiteboard or a colleague's face. This is the ideal solution for everyone who spends most of their day at a desk in Szczecin and the surrounding area.
The wide intermediate zone ensures clear screen vision throughout the entire working shift. No more tilting your head looking for "that one zone" as you would with progressive glasses.
Office glasses reduce accommodative effort – the eyes strain less, which results in fewer headaches and less eye burning after a long day at the computer.
We fit office lenses with anti-reflective coating, blue light filter and UV protection. The coating package is tailored to the specifics of your workstation and the hours spent in front of a screen.
Progressive glasses cover the full range of vision – distance, intermediate and near – but the intermediate zone (computer screen) is relatively narrow. Office glasses sacrifice distance correction in favour of a wide, comfortable zone for office working distances (40 cm – 4 m). They are more comfortable in the office, but are not suitable for driving or walking outdoors.
Not necessarily. Office lenses are useful wherever vision is focused within a range of up to approximately 4 metres – a musician reading sheet music, a seamstress, a jeweller, a mechanic working on fine details. The term "office glasses" is conventional – it refers to the distance range, not the type of work.
Often yes – headaches after computer work can be caused by accommodative effort (straining the eye muscles) or incorrect correction. Office glasses fitted to your workstation and screen distance can significantly reduce this problem. It is worth starting with an eye test to rule out other causes.
Office lenses are usually less expensive than progressives – starting from approximately 400–600 PLN per pair depending on the manufacturer and coating package. The frame cost is additional. Come in for a free consultation to find the best solution within your budget.
