Office Lens
Is using your computer literally giving you a pain in the neck? Do you have back pain, headaches, light sensitivity, eyestrain, dry eyes, blurred vision, or burning, red, sore, or tired eyes? These symptoms can all be the result of computer vision syndrome.
If you experience these problems, you’re not alone. Recent surveys show that 8 out of 10 Americans regularly working on a computer experience these symptoms. The good news is you can ease much of the pain and discomfort by using the Shamir Office™ Lens.
The Shamir Office is a unique lens designed specifically for professionals, computer users, and hobbyists. A near and mid-range variable-focus lens, Shamir Office helps you clearly see all the people and objects in your workplace from the reading distance (up close) out to 6-10 feet away. Clinically tested, the Shamir Office has been developed by one of the world’s leading progressive lens designers, in conjunction with eye doctors and orthopedic surgeons. The Office lens, having been specifically designed for computer work in an office environment, helps you maintain good posture. As anyone who uses a computer while wearing a progressive (no-line) or conventional (lined) bifocal will tell you, you must lift your chin and tilt your head back about 20° to look through the part of the lens set for the computer. As a result, you’re straining your neck and shoulder muscles — causing computer vision syndrome. The Office lens allows you to hold your head in a more natural position, using the same head position you would if you didn’t need bifocals.
The Office lens may also be a great choice for many other professionals and hobbyists. Some of the jobs that can benefit from this technology include:
•
musician
• accountant
• dentist
• librarian
• hair dresser
• seamstress
• mechanic
• engineer
• chef
• editor.
