A person with traditional distance/reading bifocals comes in complaining of a sore neck when using the computer. Because their computer monitor on the desk sits further back and is positioned higher than where normal reading is viewed, it causes the person to lean forward to the monitor with their head tilted back resulting in neck, shoulder and other muscular problems.

Solutions:

 Originals - lensSingle.gif A separate intermediate pair of spectacles would solve the computer focus problem, but may still mean frustration swapping to stronger reading glasses when looking down at the desk to read smaller print documents. (This depends on the power of the reading Prescription.) Hence,
 Originals - lensBio.gif An occupational bifocal set up so that the base lens is intermediate-computer distance with the stronger reading power at the bottom. For added flexibility (where distance vision is O.K with out glasses) put the occupational bifocal into either a ½ eye or ¾ size frame so that there is a window for distance when peaking over the top of the frames.

Occupational Progressive Lenses where no lines are visible. This may go from close reading at the bottom, to computer focus in the top. Depending on prescription requirements some lens types allow a small window at the top area of the lens for an accurate peek in the distance. As this lens is designed for occupational desk-use, the compromise is that it is not suitable for walking outside or driving in. This lens gives you a far wider field of view compared with the more common general purpose progressive, which is designed for driving and walking in and can be far too restricting for someone who spends extended hours at a VDU or reading.
