Degressive lenses, an essential complement for progressive lens wearers.
Degressive reading glasses, also known as proximity glasses, mid-distance glasses, computer glasses or extended depth of field glasses, are based on innovative lens technology. These near vision glasses allow you to rediscover clear and sharp vision at several distances:
- close up at 30-40 cm for reading, writing...
- mid-distance at 60-80 cm for working in front of the computer (perfect vision of the screen and keyboard)
- intermediate distance from 80 cm to 3 m for conversing with your interlocutor while keeping your glasses on.
Degressive lenses also offer other advantages:
- Relaxed posture: with a wide field of vision, you adopt a more natural posture, thus reducing tension in the neck and shoulders.
- Reduced visual fatigue: these lenses limit eye fatigue caused by changes in focus.
Degressive glasses can not only be complementary glasses for progressive lens wearers but also a single pair for emmetropic presbyopes (without distant visual defect). Their innovative process offers a new alternative to progressive lens wearers; they can equip themselves with a whole new "backup" equipment for working in front of screens.
Progressive glasses are not best suited for computer work. To simplify, we can say that they are distance vision glasses with the possibility of seeing close up, whereas degressive glasses are glasses for seeing close up with a degressive effect on the top of the lens for intermediate distances. Thanks to the smooth geometry of their lenses, they provide you with a more natural posture for working. Choosing a pair of degressive reading glasses means offering yourself additional visual comfort for proximity work.
Presbyopes looking for visual comfort in front of screens:
Every day, many people without problems seeing at a distance become presbyopic and do not need to wear progressive lenses; their difficulty is for reading and near vision. Rather than choosing basic magnifying glasses, degressive reading glasses are interesting because they are designed for screen work in the office. Easy to adapt to and with a large field of near vision, they help young presbyopes accept their first pair of glasses.
Currently, more than 60% of presbyopes use a computer and glasses that are not necessarily adapted to near and proximity vision. Nearly 80% of them complain of eye fatigue or headaches after a day of computer work.
Degressive lenses are to be preferred for presbyopic people who use screens for many hours every day.
Varionet mid-distance reading glasses
Varionet degressive reading glasses are all equipped with our Varionet mid-distance lenses; these will offer you maximum comfort and optimal protection against digital devices. Varionet degressive lenses offer wide zones for reading and close-up work as well as clear vision for mid-distance work, computer use, cooking, music, gardening... all activities requiring near vision.
Varionet opticians have developed a Cool Blue™ anti-blue light anti-reflective treatment that increases contrasts and reduces the side effects related to blue light emitted by screens on the body: migraines, neck pain, dry, red and stinging eyes, stiff neck, loss of concentration at the end of the day...
