Who needs occupational lenses?

Modern working life often means hours spent focusing on a screen or shifting between near and mid-distance tasks. Ordinary reading or varifocal lenses simply aren’t designed for this, which is why we offer specialist occupational lenses. They are the perfect solution for those who spend much of their day in an office, clinic, or studio environment.

What are Occupational Lenses?

Occupational lenses are designed specifically for your working distance needs. They give you crystal-clear vision for computer, desk and indoor activities, helping you stay comfortable and focused throughout the day. Unlike standard lenses, these provide a much wider field of view for close and intermediate distances. This ensures that you’re not straining your eyes or constantly moving your head to find clarity.

At Lynne Fernandes Optometrists, we use Hoya’s advanced occupational designs because they deliver exceptional optical precision and comfort. These lenses are designed to reduce eye strain, improve posture, and enhance productivity – ideal for modern professionals.

What are the different types of Occupational lenses?

We offer a tailored range of occupational designs to suit different working environments and visual needs:

Supereader – perfect for tasks requiring extended near and mid-range focus, giving comfortable vision for reading, sewing, or detailed desk work.
WorkSmart Room – optimised for clear vision up to a few metres, ideal for working at a computer and moving around an office.
WorkStyle – designed for those who multitask, offering smooth transitions between close and mid-distance vision.
WorkStyle Business – excellent for professionals needing natural, effortless focus between paperwork, screens, and meetings.
