Why standard glasses often fall short at work
Most glasses are designed for general use (distance, reading, or everyday varifocals). Work is different. If your day involves switching between hands, screens, tools, people, or fine detail, standard lenses can feel like they’re never quite in the right place.
- Eye strain or tiredness halfway through the day
- Neck tension from tipping your head to “find the right bit” of the lens
- Varifocals that feel awkward when you’re moving around
- Reading glasses that are too narrow for screen + near work
What are Work-Optimised Lenses?
Work-Optimised Lenses are set up around what you do most at work — not a generic “distance” or “reading” setup. Internally, these may use occupational or degressive lens designs. What matters is the configuration: where the clear zones sit, how wide they are, and which distances are prioritised.
We tailor them using:
- Your primary working distance (hands, screen, tools, treatment distance)
- Your secondary distance (mirror/patient/colleagues/room)
- How much you move while working (static vs mobile roles)
- Your posture and head position
- Whether you need true distance vision during the working day

What Work-Optimised Lenses are not
- Not a gimmick or a “pro” add-on
- Not automatically right for everyone
- Not the same as standard reading glasses
- Not always a full everyday distance solution
They’re a proven lens approach, configured thoughtfully for real working life. If something simpler would suit you just as well, we’ll tell you.

FAQs
Are Work-Optimised Lenses the same as “office lenses”?
“Office lenses” is often used as a catch-all. Work-Optimised Lenses are the broader approach: work-specific setups tailored to your tasks and distances. Some setups use degressive-style designs, but the configuration depends on how you work.
Do I need to be over 40?
Not necessarily. Many people notice work strain before they need full-time reading correction. Suitability depends on your prescription, working distances, and whether you need distance vision during work.
Will I still be able to see far away?
Some work setups prioritise near and intermediate vision and are not intended as a full distance solution. If you need distance vision during the working day, we’ll guide you toward the right configuration.
Are these varifocals?
They can be. Some Work-Optimised setups use occupational or degressive designs. The aim is stable, comfortable zones for the distances you actually use at work.
What information do you need to tailor them?
Your prescription, your typical working distances (hands/screen/tools), and a short description of how you work (static vs moving). That’s enough to advise the right setup.
