Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear workspace progressives while driving?
Workspace progressives are not designed for driving, as they do not provide the necessary distance vision for seeing the road or faraway objects while driving. For driving, we recommend our standard or premium progressives.
Can I purchase workspace progressives as sunglasses?
Workspace progressives cannot be tinted, polarized, or ordered as photochromic. They’re best suited for indoor use, but we offer plenty of other great options for sunglasses if you're looking for something to wear outdoors!
Is it hard to get used to workspace progressives?
If you're already wearing standard progressives, you'll likely find it easy to adjust to workspace progressives. They're designed to offer smoother transitions for tasks like reading and computer work, so adapting should feel natural. For those new to progressive lenses, it may take a little time to get fully comfortable, but your eyes will adjust, and the benefits will be worth it!
I have standard progressives - should I also get workspace progressives?
Unlike standard progressives, which have smaller zones for reading and intermediate tasks, workspace progressives provide a wider, more accessible viewing area. This makes it easier to focus and work longer without straining your eyes. They also help improve ergonomics by reducing the need to constantly adjust your head to find the "sweet spot" for clear vision. Think of workspace progressives as the perfect complement to your standard lenses. They help you stay comfortable and focused during specific activities, like reading or computer work, while you can still rely on your standard progressives for everyday use.
How do I decide between mid-range and near-range progressives?
Consider the typical tasks you do throughout the day to help decide which option will suit you best.
Near-Range: If your typical day involves sitting at a desk, reading, crafting, or working closely with a computer, near-range progressives are likely the best choice.
Mid-Range: If you frequently use a computer, attend meetings, or need to focus on objects across a room, mid-range progressives are likely the best fit for you.
Do I need to have a special prescription for workspace progressives?
No, you don't need a special prescription! Just enter your regular prescription, including your ADD (additional power for near vision), when placing your order. Our lab technicians will handle the rest, customizing the workspace progressives based on your prescription and the lens type you choose, so you get the perfect fit for your needs.
