Are screens tiring you out?

We're living in a digital age, and displays aren't just entertaining us – they're feeding us, teaching us, waking us up in the morning, and keeping us alert at night. But besides all that knowledge from the internet, we often carry something else to bed: strained and tired eyes.

The reason? During the day, they're overstimulated. We switch between a large monitor, a small phone, and work on paper. We're giving our eyes a proper headache. And not just our eyes! When we can't see screens clearly, we tilt our heads and hunch over – which our necks will complain about instead.

From this digital necessity, special eyeglass lenses were born – we call them relief lenses. They adapt to the different distances at which we use screens. Beyond the mid-range distance for computers, these lenses also work with the very close "mobile" distance.

At ZITA, you'll find relief lenses under the EYEZEN brand from French company Essilor.

EYEZEN START is ideal for younger digitally busy people. The lens corridor through which you look is specially designed so it doesn't distort close-up vision. This isn't about magnifying the image, as you'd know from multifocal lenses – just optimizing it. The fight against tired eyes gets a serious boost from the blue light coating you can choose with these lenses.

EYEZEN BOOST is appreciated especially by people over 40, whose lens elasticity naturally decreases at this age. With added close-up support, it helps not just at the computer but also, for example, when glancing at the dashboard while driving. EYEZEN BOOST improves readability of small text and distance vision alike, making it a comfortable transition to multifocals.

Not sure which to choose? We'll take care of that at ZITA. Book your appointment for a professional eye exam or frame fitting here.
