Offering a greater depth of field, up to 10 ft, this workspace lens design allows movement within the workspace and sharp vision, whether the required focus is on the desk or a colleague across the room. It is perfect as a second pair of progressives or as an upgrade to reading glasses.
Shamir Workspace glasses are specially designed occupational lenses aimed at providing optimal vision for people who work in environments that require frequent viewing of near and intermediate distances, such as offices or workspaces with computer screens. These lenses are part of Shamir’s “Occupational” line and are tailored to enhance visual comfort and clarity in specific work settings.
Key Benefits of Shamir Workspace Glasses:
1. Enhanced Intermediate and Near Vision:**
- Optimal for Close Work: Shamir Workspace lenses are designed to provide a wider and clearer field of view at intermediate and near distances. This makes them ideal for tasks that require focus on objects at arm’s length or closer, such as working on a computer, reading, or doing detailed work.
- Natural Posture: By offering clear vision at these crucial distances, the lenses reduce the need for users to adopt unnatural postures (like leaning forward or tilting the head) to see their screens or documents clearly. This helps prevent neck and back strain, promoting better ergonomics.
2. Customizable Vision Zones:
- Tailored to Work Environment: The lenses can be customized based on the specific needs of the wearer and the distances they most commonly need to focus on. Shamir offers different versions, like the Workspace and the Computer lens, where the focal range can be adjusted according to the user’s typical work setup.
- Versatility: While the lenses are optimized for near and intermediate vision, they also provide adequate distance vision, making them versatile for moving around the workspace without needing to switch glasses.
3. Reduced Eye Strain:
- Minimized Eye Fatigue: By providing clear vision at the most commonly used work distances, Shamir Workspace lenses help reduce eye strain that can result from prolonged periods of near work, such as computer use. This is particularly important for preventing symptoms associated with Digital Eye Strain (DES), such as headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision.
- Comfortable Focus Transitions: The lenses are designed to allow smooth transitions between different focal points, reducing the need for the eyes to constantly adjust focus. This results in a more comfortable visual experience throughout the day.
4. Wider Field of View:
- Maximized Visual Field: Compared to traditional progressive lenses or standard reading glasses, Shamir Workspace lenses offer a broader and more comfortable field of view at intermediate and near distances. This wider visual field is particularly beneficial for users who need to view multiple screens or large documents simultaneously.
- Clarity Across the Lens: The design of the lenses minimizes peripheral distortion, ensuring that vision remains clear across a wider portion of the lens, enhancing overall visual comfort.
5. Improved Work Efficiency:
- Better Productivity: With clear, comfortable vision at work-relevant distances, users can focus better on their tasks, which can lead to increased productivity. Less eye strain and discomfort mean users can work for longer periods without fatigue.
- Suitability for Varied Tasks: Whether you’re working at a computer, reviewing documents, or attending meetings, Shamir Workspace glasses provide the necessary clarity and comfort, reducing the need to switch between different pairs of glasses or adjust your working environment.
6. Protection from Digital Devices:
- Blue Light Filtering: Many versions of Shamir Workspace lenses can be enhanced with blue light filtering technology. This helps protect the eyes from the potentially harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens, which can contribute to eye strain, sleep disruption, and long-term eye health issues.
- Glare Reduction: The lenses often come with anti-reflective coatings that reduce glare from screens and overhead lighting, further enhancing visual comfort and reducing distractions.
Who Can Benefit Most from Shamir Workspace Glasses?
- Office Workers: Individuals who spend a significant amount of time working at a desk, particularly with computers, will find these lenses highly beneficial.
- Professionals with Varied Tasks: People like architects, graphic designers, and engineers who need to shift their focus between screens, blueprints, and other detailed work can greatly benefit from the customizable focus zones of these lenses.
- Aging Workers: As presbyopia (age-related difficulty in focusing on near objects) sets in, Shamir Workspace lenses provide a comfortable solution that addresses the changing visual needs of older adults in the workplace.
- Anyone Experiencing Digital Eye Strain: Those who suffer from eye fatigue, headaches, or discomfort due to prolonged screen use may find significant relief with these specialized lenses.
Shamir Workspace glasses offer a highly specialized solution for improving visual comfort and efficiency in work environments that demand frequent focus on near and intermediate distances. With benefits like enhanced intermediate and near vision, reduced eye strain, and a wider field of view, these lenses are particularly advantageous for professionals who spend long hours in front of a computer or performing detailed tasks. By improving visual clarity and comfort, Shamir Workspace lenses can also contribute to better productivity and overall well-being in the workplace.
