Computer Progressive lenses

Reviewed by Dr. Justin Asgarpour

Progressive lenses specifically for screen-time. If you have an ADD power on your prescription, Computer Progressives help you see clearly at intermediate and near distances, with built-in blue light protection.

02_what_makes_computer_progressive_lenses_different

What makes Computer Progressive lenses different?

They provide near (40cm away) and intermediate (60cm away) vision correction. Because there's no distance correction, they offer a wider field of vision at arm's-length, so it's easier to see a laptop or computer screen.

03_How_do_computer_progressives_work

How do Computer Progressives work?

The near distance prescription is in the bottom portion of the lens and intermediate vision is in the middle and top portion, with a built-in blue light filter across the entire lens surface.

Why wear Computer Progressive lenses?

With our DualView BlueReflect™ Computer Progressives, you can expect

•    Clarity at computer and reading distance (avoid eye strain and the need to switch between pairs)
•    See your computer screen clearly without tilting your neck (as with progressive lenses)
•    Less exposure to harmful blue light due to built-in blue light filter

Computer Progressives are an ideal second pair to keep at your desk or near your laptop. Because they don’t offer far distance correction, they aren't suitable for walking or driving.

What to consider before getting Computer Progressives

Computer Progressive lenses can revolutionize your screen-time routine, bringing clearer vision and improved comfort. There's a few things to know before you shop.

Cost of Computer Progressives

Computer Progressives have a specialty type of lens with a higher technology spec compared to single-vision or bifocals, which makes them more expensive than other types of lenses.

Slight blue reflection on the lens surface

Blue light filtering properties will create a slight blue reflection on the lens surface. Won't impact your vision, but others may notice it when looking at you.

Slight yellow tint

May notice a slight yellow tint in Computer Progressive lenses due to blue light filter. Won't impact vision, unless work requires very acute colour perception. 

If you still feel uncomfortable after 2-3 weeks, contact our Customer Service team or visit your nearest Clearly store.

Frequently Asked Questions

Computer Progressive lenses are a type of progressive lens that's specifically designed for computer or laptop use. Rather than containing near, intermediate, and distance correction (like regular progressives), Computer Progressives exclusively provide near and intermediate vision. This means the arm's-length vision correction is much more comprehensive compared to regular progressives, so it's far more comfortable and easy to see your computer or laptop screen.

Regular progressives aren't designed for long hours in front of a computer or laptop because the intermediate vision field is fairly limited. This means you won't have a wide field of view for arm's length vision and you'll need to tilt your head to see your screen clearly. Our Computer Progressives are specially designed to provide near and intermediate (arm's-length) vision correction, which makes them a much better option for extended screen-time periods. Our DualView Computer Progressive lenses also have built-in blue light filtering protection, which makes them an ideal choice for a dedicated work pair.

It's easy to use your progressive prescription to get Computer Progressives at Clearly. When you're ready to select your lenses, select Progressive as your vision need, enter your prescription, and choose Computer lenses. We'll take it from there!
