Occupational and lifestyle glasses lenses are designed to meet specific visual needs for various environments and tasks. Computer or office lenses are particularly suited for individuals who spend extensive time at a computer or work with documents. These lenses are optimised for intermediate and near vision, which helps to reduce eye strain and improve comfort by providing a broader field of view at the distances commonly used in office settings. Safety or protective lenses, made from impact-resistant materials, are ideal for those working in environments where eye protection is crucial, such as construction sites or laboratories.
Some specialised lens designs feature a “relaxation” zone within the lens, enhancing visual comfort by reducing the strain on the eyes during prolonged tasks. Other designs function similarly to varifocals but without the distance portion, providing a clear, comfortable view for activities such as office work, artwork, or music. These lenses are not intended for walking around but are excellent for tasks that require a specific focus range. By choosing the appropriate occupational or lifestyle lens, individuals can tailor their eyewear to suit their unique activities and work environments.
