Computer Lenses
Lenses designed for today’s digital world
Essilor computer lenses are specially designed to make screen use more comfortable. Whether you’re working on a desktop, using multiple monitors or regularly switching between your laptop, tablet and phone, they help reduce visual fatigue and support relaxed, comfortable vision throughout the day.
Modern working life places increasing demands on our eyes. By providing clear, comfortable focus at the distances you use most, computer lenses can help reduce eye strain, ease neck and shoulder discomfort caused by poor posture and make long hours at a screen feel more comfortable.
Why not just use reading glasses?
Reading glasses are designed for one distance only, usually around 40cm. They’re perfect for reading a book or looking at your phone, but they aren’t designed for modern working life. If your computer screen sits further away, you’ll often find yourself leaning forwards or lifting your chin to bring the screen into focus. Over time, this can lead to tired eyes, neck and shoulder discomfort and a less comfortable working day.
Computer lenses provide a much wider range of clear vision, allowing you to move naturally between your keyboard, screen, paperwork and the people around you without constantly changing glasses or adjusting your posture.
Why choose computer lenses instead of varifocals?
Everyday varifocals are designed to give you clear vision from the far distance right through to reading. To achieve this, the intermediate area used for computer work is relatively small, meaning you may find yourself tilting your head or searching for the “sweet spot” when working at a screen for long periods.
Computer lenses are different. They sacrifice unnecessary distance vision to create much wider, more comfortable zones for the distances you use most throughout the working day. The result is a more natural posture, less visual fatigue and clearer, more relaxed vision whether you’re working at your desk or moving around the office.
What about bifocals?
Bifocals provide one section for distance vision and another for reading, with no dedicated area for intermediate distances such as a computer monitor. This means the screen often falls between the two viewing zones, making prolonged computer use uncomfortable.
Computer lenses are specifically designed to bridge that gap, providing seamless, comfortable vision at the distances where you spend most of your working day.
