Enhanced Reading Lenses

Indoor Glasses — The Ideal Solution for Near and Mid-Range Visual Tasks

Also known as computer glasses, occupational lenses, office glasses, workstation lenses, degressive lenses, or enhanced reading glasses, indoor glasses go by many names — all reflecting just how useful they are.

In fact, once people try them, these often become their everyday glasses.

Why Indoor Glasses Are So Useful

In modern life, many everyday tasks rely on clear near and mid-range vision — such as:

  • Working on a computer
  • Playing board or card games
  • DIY and crafts
  • Painting or design work
  • Cooking or reading recipes

While standard varifocals or reading glasses are versatile, they often fall short for prolonged or precise tasks at near or intermediate distances.

The Limitations of Standard Glasses

Reading Glasses & Bifocals

Reading glasses offer clarity for close-up tasks but lack vision at mid-range. Bifocals omit the intermediate range entirely — making them unsuitable for screens or multitasking.

Varifocals

Varifocals provide some mid-range correction, but the usable area is narrow. This can lead to:

  • Poor posture (craning the neck)
  • Eye strain and fatigue
  • Difficulty in meetings (removing or peering over glasses)

The Indoor Glasses Advantage

Indoor glasses offer a better solution with:

  • Wide near and mid-range vision zones
  • No visible lens lines for a clean, aesthetic look
  • Improved comfort and reduced head/neck strain
  • Natural head posture — ideal for desk work, meetings, and creative tasks

Some indoor lens designs can even include a narrow top section for distance vision across a room — perfect for professionals who work in office environments or give presentations.

Important Considerations Before Choosing Indoor Glasses

Indoor glasses are not designed for driving or activities requiring distance vision.

They should be used in conjunction with other glasses tailored for full-distance tasks if needed.
