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, between a half metre and four metres, 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 spectacles 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 a major role 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 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 spectacles.

Thanks to technology developed by ZEISS 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 spectacle wearer. We offer everything from attractively priced lenses, to custom solutions tailored to extremely precise requirements. The spectacle lenses are manufactured using the maximum distance the individual spectacle 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.

• "Near" office lenses: With this design, the maximum distance the spectacle wearer must see sharply and clearly is set at two metres. This version is ideal for people who work mainly at the computer or read a lot.
  
• "Room" office lenses: With this spectacle lens, the maximum distance is set to four metres, allowing the wearer to see at reading distance up to the intermediate field of vision. The "Room" version is designed for people that interact with colleagues a lot and simultaneously work in front of a screen.
  
• NEW - "Book" office lens: "Book" has a strengthened focus for the reading area with a maximum distance of one metre. In comparison to reading glasses, which are generally designed for a fixed, and individualised reading distance, "Book" offers a significantly larger field of vision for a more relaxed reading experience.
  
• The "Individual" office lens: 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.
