After the age of 40 we begin to lose our ability to focus up close, and to help with that, we have progressive lenses. However, one pair of glasses may not always cover all of our needs. Computers play a big role in our lives today, but unfortunately when viewed with progressives can cause some difficulty in viewing. With progressive lenses, we often have to tilt our head upward, which can create neck strain. Single vision reading glasses have a fixed focal point, so they may be great for reading, but we tend to lean into our computer to see the screen. With Nikon office lenses, a very large portion of the lens is dedicated to the computer, but still has a separate reading area to help when print is held close up. The office lenses will give a much wider viewing angle and are positioned higher so that you can look straight on at the monitor.
