SPECIALTY LENSES
Everybody over the age of 40 starts to have difficulty reading small print. This is not a disease but a natural ageing process of the eye. The average patient will use either prescription reading glasses, drug-store readers, monovision contact lenses or bifocals. These are all fine options however in today’s technological world most of work with computers, we may need a specialty lens in order to cope with hours of near work. Traditional bifocals, monovision contacts, drug-store readers and prescription readers give no range of vision, meaning that the computer screen may be clear however objects slightly farther or closer than the screen will be out of focus. This is where specialty lenses come in. These lenses have slightly different prescriptions throughout the lens, which will give you a comfortable and clear range of vision…making them ideal for most office situations, or any situation in which you work at close objects for extended periods of time. Please ask Dr. Bense or one of the staff regarding these lenses.
