Work-Optimised Lenses Desk & screen work
Work-Optimised Lenses for Desk & Screen Work
If your day is mostly screen, keyboard, and close work, standard glasses can feel slightly “off” — especially when the clearest zone isn’t where you naturally work. Work-Optimised Lenses are configured around your real desk distances, posture, and screen use, so comfort holds up across the working day.
The setup form takes a minute and gives you a simple Design Code so we can configure your lenses correctly.
Why desk and screen work can feel hard on your eyes
Screen distance is your main distance
Desk work is rarely about distance vision. Most of your day sits in the “in-between” range — monitor distance — and that’s where many standard setups aren’t optimised.
Near work is constant
Notes, keyboard, phone, paperwork. Your eyes switch down repeatedly — and if near support isn’t right, fatigue builds faster.
Posture matters
If the clearest area is too high/low or too narrow, you’ll start lifting your chin or leaning in to “find” clarity — which often shows up as neck and shoulder tension.
Long duration + lighting
Hours at a screen under artificial light can make strain feel worse. Small setup issues become much more noticeable by mid-afternoon.
What a Work-Optimised setup prioritises for desk work
- Comfortable screen clarity at your true monitor distance
- Reliable near support for keyboard, notes and phone
- Wider usable zones for multi-screen and side-to-side eye movement
- Reflection control (often helpful with screens and office lighting)
The key detail
The right setup depends on your working distances and posture, not a generic “office” label. Two desk jobs can need different configurations depending on screen height, multi-monitor use, laptop posture, and whether you need distance vision during the day.
A quick self-check (takes 30 seconds)
Measure your screen distance: eyes to monitor, as you actually sit.
Measure near distance: eyes to keyboard/notes/phone.
Screen height: do you look slightly up, straight ahead, or down (laptop)?
Do you need distance during work? Meetings, colleagues, workshop floor, driving between sites.

FAQs
Are these the same as “office lenses”?
“Office lenses” is a broad term. Work-Optimised desk setups are configured around your actual screen and near distances, posture, and how you work — rather than a generic office specification.
Do I need to be a certain age?
No. Strain from prolonged screen work can happen at many ages. Suitability depends on your prescription, working distances, and what feels uncomfortable day to day.
Will I still be able to see distance?
Some desk setups prioritise near and screen clarity and aren’t intended as a full distance solution. If you need distance clarity during work, we’ll guide you to a configuration that fits.
Are these varifocals?
Some setups use occupational or degressive-style designs. The goal is stable, comfortable zones for the distances you use most at the desk.
What do you need from me?
A current prescription, your screen distance, your near distance, and a short description of how you work (screens, posture, hours per day). That’s enough to advise the right setup.
