Presbyopia makes it difficult for people over age 40 to see clearly to read or do close work. It occurs as the lens in the eye begins to lose some of the elasticity needed to focus on near objects. Presbyopia is not a disease and is simply a normal part of the aging process.
- The need to hold reading materials further away to focus
- Headaches or tired eyes after close-up work
- Blurred vision at normal reading distance
- Require more light to see clearly
- Cornea: a clear covering over the front of the eye
- Iris: the colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil
- Pupil: the black hole in the middle of the iris; it gets smaller in bright light and larger in dim light
- Lens: the part of the eye that allows you to focus
- Retina: a thin layer of nerves on the back of the eye that detects light; it is similar to the film in a camera
- Optic Nerve: a bundle of nerves going from the eye to the brain

Computer Lenses, sometimes referred to as Office or Occupational Lenses, make it easy for your eyes to move back and forth between near vision tasks like computer work and reading printed material.
Computer lenses are a specialty type of progressive lens designed for today's world. Like any progressive lenses, they eliminate the need for multiple pairs of glasses. But more important, they give your eyes the focal length they need as they need it, greatly reducing eye strain.
1. Select your normal reading magnification power and the lens will do the rest. The upper portion of these lenses allow for intermediate range viewing, perfect for computer, not to mention tasks like, cooking, sewing, following sheet music, drafting or reading blueprints, and many more uses.
2. As you lower your focus to the bottom portion of the lens, the lens acts like any reading lens, making it easy to read cellphone screens, pill bottles, newspapers, or the latest best sellers. The included high quality Anti-Reflective Coating reduces eye strain even more, allowing you to enjoy your work and hobbies.
