As technology continues to advance and weave its way into our everyday lives, the number of hours we spend in front of screens has increased dramatically. As a result, in our optometry clinics, we have seen a marked increase in eye strain, headaches, and other vision-related problems over the past few years. However, the development of enhanced near lenses has been a game changer in providing relief for those who spend a lot of time in front of screens for work or leisure. So, you may ask, why should I consider enhanced near lenses?
What are the Benefits of Enhanced Near Lenses?
- Enhanced near lenses are designed to optimise the visual experience for those spending long hours in front of computers. These lenses can significantly reduce eye strain and fatigue. They also provide clear and comfortable vision while reducing glare and enhancing contrast.
- One of the biggest advantages of enhanced near lenses is that they are tailored specifically to your individual needs. They can be customised based on factors such as your specific work tasks, workspace, and screen distance, ensuring your eyes remain productive during prolonged screen and near tasks.
- Enhanced near lenses can also provide a wider and clearer field of vision in comparison to progressive/multifocal lenses. This is especially useful for those of you needing to multitask between multiple screens, or work in a collaborative environment. This type of lens can help you switch between screens or focus on different tasks or office zones, without having to strain your eyes or re-adjust your focus.
- Another bonus of enhanced near lenses is that they are available in a variety of materials such as polycarbonate or high-index plastic. This characteristic makes them suitable for the correction of a variety of spectacle prescriptions including short-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism.
So, as outlined above, enhanced near lenses can be a great alternative for those who spend long hours in front of the screen. They offer you numerous advantages such as customized solutions, clear and comfortable vision, and a wider field of sight.
