Progressive or Depth of Field Lenses, Which is the Right Choice?
The choice between progressive lenses and depth of field lenses (Office) also depends a lot on the use we make of them and on personal needs :
-
Progressive Lenses :
- Ideal for those who need multifocal vision correction to see well at all distances (far, intermediate and near).
- Suitable for those who frequently pass through different distances during the day (e.g. driving, reading, using the computer).
- They offer a smooth transition between viewing areas, without visible lines.
-
Deep Lenses Field Office :
- Great for extended use over short and medium distances, such as computer work or reading.
- They provide a more stable and wider vision for intermediate distances than progressive lenses, making them more comfortable for activities focused on fixed distances.
- Less suitable for long-distance use (e.g. driving), therefore suitable for those who spend a lot of time indoors or at intermediate distances.
In summary : progressive lenses are more versatile for those who need to see well at different distances dynamically, while Office lenses are better for those who have specific vision needs at intermediate and close distances, such as office work. The best choice will therefore depend on individual needs and the use we make of them on a daily basis.
Posture also plays an important role in the choice between progressive lenses and depth of field lenses (Office) , as it affects visual comfort during use:
-
Progressive Lenses :
- They require a more dynamic posture since different areas of the lens are used to see well at all distances (top for far, bottom for near).
- Wearers often have to tilt their head slightly or move their eyes to adjust to different viewing areas, which can take a short time to adjust to.
-
Depth of Field Lenses (Office) :
- They allow for a more relaxed and natural posture, especially when working at close or intermediate distances.
- The larger intermediate viewing area reduces the need to tilt your head, making them ideal for those who work long hours in front of the computer or at static workstations.
In short : progressive lenses require a more flexible and dynamic posture, while Office lenses offer greater postural comfort, particularly suitable for those who work at fixed distances. The choice, therefore, will depend not only on visual needs but also on how much postural comfort you want during daily use.
