Better vision and more comfort at work

Modern technology governs our life and makes it easier, both at home and at work. We spend a good portion of our time working with high-tech devices and displays. They help make us faster and more productive. If we want to stay focused for extended periods while using computers, smartphones, tablet PCs or other devices at work, we need good vision at near to intermediate distances. This field of vision, from roughly 1.5 to 14 feet, is the one we use most often in our daily routine. Reading glasses and even sophisticated progressive lenses are not ideal for this field of vision. Have you ever considered wearing eyeglasses that are specially tailored to the work you do?

For many people, the world of work is getting faster and faster and increasingly varied. Computers and other devices play important parts in the modern workplace. As a result, staying productive for long periods is essential. Our vision plays a key role here, especially when we're working in front of screens and displays. Our eyes have to endure strain in the near to intermediate fields of vision for many hours each day.

You might be already wear reading glasses or progressive lenses at work. However, our example shows that you can assume a very unnatural posture when wearing these types of glasses.

Thanks to technology developed by Carl Zeiss Vision for determining the maximum intermediate distance (Maximum Intermediate Distance = M.I.D.), ZEISS Office lenses can be adjusted to meet the viewing distance needs of the individual wearer. We offer everything from attractively priced lenses, to custom solutions tailored to extremely precise requirements. Eyeglass lenses are manufactured based on the maximum distance the individual eyeglass wearer needs to see on a day-to-day basis in the workplace. Called the M.I.D. value, this is the distance in the room that the wearer needs to see clearly and sharply.

• Officelens "Book": "Book" has a strengthened focus for the reading area with a maximum distance of 3 feet. In comparison to reading glasses, which are generally designed for a fixed and individualized reading distance, "Book" offers a significantly larger field of vision for a more relaxed reading experience.
• Officelens "Desk": With this design, the maximum distance the eyeglasswearer must see sharply and clearly is set at 7 feet. This version is ideal for people who work mainly at the computer or read a lot.
• Officelens "Room": With this lens, the maximum distance is set to 14 feet, allowing the wearer to see from reading distance up to the intermediate field of vision. The "Room" model is designed for people who work with customers a lot and simultaneously work in front of a screen, for example.  This version is tailored to the specific needs of the spectacle wearer. The optimum maximum viewing distance in the room is defined with extreme precision for the spectacle wearer. In addition, the wearer's centring data, close-up working distance and spectacle frame dimensions are used in manufacturing these lenses.
