In our screen-dominated world, digital eye strain has become increasingly common. Whether you’re working at a computer, scrolling on your phone, or binge-watching your favourite series, prolonged screen time can leave your eyes feeling tired, dry, and unfocused. At Clarity Eyecare in Surrey, BC, we offer a modern solution to this growing issue: anti-fatigue glasses.
What Are Anti-Fatigue Glasses?
Anti-fatigue glasses are specially designed to reduce eye strain caused by extended near work, such as reading or screen use. These lenses have a slight boost in power in the lower portion, which eases the effort required for focusing on close-up tasks. This subtle addition helps reduce visual fatigue and supports more relaxed, comfortable vision throughout the day.
How Do They Work?
The top portion of the lens provides clear distance vision, while the lower portion contains a mild add power—typically less than what you’d find in traditional progressive lenses. This design encourages a natural, ergonomic posture and minimizes the eye strain associated with prolonged screen use. Many anti-fatigue lenses also feature blue light filtering technology to reduce exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted by digital devices.
Who Can Benefit?
Anti-fatigue lenses are ideal for students, office workers, professionals, and anyone who spends more than 2 hours per day on screens. While they are particularly popular among people in their 20s to 40s who may not yet require reading glasses, they can also be beneficial for teens and older adults, especially those experiencing early symptoms of presbyopia or digital eye strain.
What to Expect
Patients wearing anti-fatigue glasses often report less eye fatigue, fewer headaches, and improved visual comfort during extended screen use. These lenses are easy to adapt to and look just like regular glasses. During your visit to Clarity Eyecare, we’ll assess your screen habits and visual needs to determine if anti-fatigue lenses are right for you.
