Degressive glasses, an essential complement for wearers of progressive lenses.
Degressive reading glasses, also known as near vision glasses, mid-distance glasses, computer glasses, or depth-of-field glasses, are the result of innovative lens technology. These near vision glasses allow you to rediscover clear, sharp vision at various distances:
- close to 30-40 cm to read, write...
- at mid-distance at 60-80 cm to work in front of the computer (perfect vision of the screen and keyboard)
- at an intermediate distance of 80 cm to 3 m to talk with your interlocutor while keeping your glasses on your nose.
Digressive lenses also offer other advantages:
- Relaxed posture : With a wide field of vision, you adopt a more natural posture, reducing tension in the neck and shoulders.
- Reduced eye fatigue : These lenses limit eye fatigue caused by changes in focus.
Degressive glasses can be not only complementary glasses for progressive lens wearers but also a single pair for emmetropic presbyopes (without distance vision defect). Their innovative process offers a new alternative to progressive lens wearers; they can equip themselves with brand new "additional" equipment for working in front of screens.
Progressive lenses are not the best suited for computer work. To simplify, we can say that they are distance vision glasses with the possibility of seeing up close, while degressive lenses are glasses for seeing up close with a degression on the top of the lens for intermediate distances. Thanks to the soft geometry of their lenses, they give you a more natural posture for working. Choosing a pair of degressive reading glasses means offering yourself additional visual comfort for close-up work.

Presbyopes looking for visual comfort in front of screens:
Every day, many people who have no problem seeing far become presbyopic and do not need to wear progressive lenses; their difficulty is with reading and near vision. Rather than choosing basic magnifying glasses, progressive reading glasses are interesting because they are designed for working on screens in the office. Easy to adapt and with a large field of vision for near vision, they help young presbyopes accept their first glasses.
Currently, more than 60% of presbyopes use a computer and glasses that are not necessarily suitable for near and close vision. Nearly 80% of them complain of eye strain or headaches after a day of computer work.
Degressive lenses are recommended for presbyopic people who use screens for many hours every day.
