Occupational Lenses

Occupational lenses help optimise your vision when you’re at work, being well suited for distances commonly encountered at work, about the distance that your screen typically sits away from your face.

Occupational lenses have rapidly grown in popularity (and in the technology used to create them over the last decade) because of the general increase in screen time and computer use over a range of occupations. The benefits of occupation lenses are that:

• You’re able to maintain a more ergonomic posture at your desk by optimising your near-intermediate distance vision
• You gain a wider field of view with excellent depth and width perception
• By helping you focus and reducing your eye strain on a daily basis, occupation lenses may also help reduce the incidence of tension headaches, dry eyes and general eye fatigue
• You reduce your overall end-of-day fatigue, optimising your energy levels and mood when you come home at the end of the day

Who Are Occupational Lenses Best Suited For?

Occupational lenses are best for those that work at a near-intermediate distance - approximately an arms length away or closer. This clearly applies to those working in an office or at a computer or device, but equally applies to those needing to focus on tools, fabrics or equipment positioned at this distance - including artists, architects, handymen and much more.

Occupational lenses typically have a much larger reading area than a typical progressive lens, making viewing smaller writing or markings simpler - like when you’re doing renovation work like tiling.

Overall, occupational lenses are a great asset for many Australians in helping them live and work more comfortably - and feel better when they return home after their day of work.
