Reaching 40 can be a complicated step, but it’s also the time when you reach your personal and professional peak. But just as you start to move forward, you also start to notice that physically, certain things don’t work as well as they used to.
Like your eyes, for example.
Once you’re over 40, you’re lucky if you don’t need glasses. Before that, a few years younger, whether you’re nearsighted or have perfect vision.
See the prices in the supermarket? No way, read the leaflet, no way!
You will begin to notice that you have to move your arm back and forth to see as you did before in your near vision. You do this so much that you’ll start to think you know how to play the trombone. Whether you want to admit it or not, you know it’s time for multifocal glasses or reading glasses.
How do I know what type of glasses to use?
This is the big question and we are going to try to help you. If your vision problems are only in the near or intermediate distance, you will have to analyze what kind of work you do on a daily basis.
Close-up Glasses
First of all you have to be clear that there is not only a near distance, the distance of near vision are 2 the near distance (reading a book or mobile) and intermediate vision (the computer).if your work or your daily activity you use a lot and constantly only one type of vision, I would advise you a near glasses(monofocal lenses), since the vision is wider and more comfortable. The worst thing about near glasses is that if you don’t use them constantly, they get lost quite often, we leave a pair everywhere and when we need them we can’t find them.
Occupational Glasses
On the other hand, if your job is an office job, you work with papers and computer, and you don’t want to wear glasses all day long, your clear choice is occupational glasses(occupational lenses). These glasses allow you to see up to a distance of 4 meters and close-up vision. They are the most comfortable glasses for work and the adaptation is immediate.
Progressive Glasses
And if you already wear distance glasses or you don’t mind wearing glasses all day long, your option without a doubt are progressive glasses, this type of lens(progressive lenses) allows you to see at all distances (far, intermediate and near). It is the all-rounder of the lenses and can be used for all reading, computer or walking down the street, and if you do not have a distance prescription, it is not necessary, since you can put a neutral prescription in your distance vision. With all these lenses you will not feel like a grandmother, since all the lenses are transparent and do not have the line on the glasses that your grandparents had. In conclusion, progressive glasses are the 4×4 of glasses and if what we are looking for is a work glasses the most advisable are the occupational glasses. Close-up glasses are the least advisable since we will only correct one distance. If your prescription has changed and you want to change the lenses of your glasses, this is your website.
