Essilor Office Lenses
Sometime ago, there was only one reading distance. That was distance at which we held a book or newspaper. On paper, letters have always been fixed in size and highly contrasted.
In todays world, in addition to reading books, we also read on smartphones, tablets and computers at different distances, and in various postures. On screens, characters are becoming smaller and much more pixelated.
Consequently, our eyes must focus more intensely and more often to adjust to the varying distances.
To meet these new visual needs, Essilor have engineered a new category of lenses for a connected life. This all-new range of ophthalmic lenses provides a correction for each reading distance required by digital devices, relaxes users’ eyes and protects them against the potential dangers of blue-violet light (with optional coatings).
Key Features:
- Specialised Essilor Technology
- Reduce visual fatigue for the wearer
- Improves the readability of small characters at a greater distance than standard office lenses
- Better Ergonomics of visual field positioning
- With Essilor Crizal coatings, a lens which simply provides great vision and protection from harmful light at all time
