HOW TO ENSURE COMFORT IN YOUR WORKSPACE - Horizons Optical

In 2023, almost 800 million presbyopes spent most of the day on screens. It is widely recognized that users often experience visual discomfort in their work environment and find it challenging to view the various screens and devices they use in their work routines.

This visual discomfort is called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) and the 74,3% of progressive lens wearers suffer from this syndrome. The main user symptoms are:

• Difficulty concentrating during screen work.
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Eyestrain
• Torsional effort
• Next flection
• Physical discomfort
• Tension

Despite the real need of a specific lens for an office environment to avoid the Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), the reality is that only the 3% of presbyopes use office lens. This is because the patients are not familiar with the product and do not understand it. Furthermore, the ECP sell generic lenses without considering the specific needs or environments, they do not know how to prescribe it, for them it is difficult to awaken the need for office lenses and each manufacturer has a different ordering process, which creates confusion for them.

The study of the most comfortable natural position is crucial to customize a lens dedicated to office work. In office environments, users often demand greater visual comfort and ergonomics to enhance their vision when using different screens and devices.
