Can I use reading glasses for computer?

What does your computer screen like?


Unless you work with your face pressed against your screen, reading glasses won’t help, one, single, bit. 


Screen work is considered as an ‘intermediate’ vision zone which reading lenses aren’t suited for.


  • Close vision: within 30cm (reading & writing).
  • Intermediate: arms length (computer work).
  • Distance: beyond arms length (driving or watching TV)


Your best bet is an intermediate lens type to use as your glasses for computer tasks.


Hope this clears things up for you.



Do you fit prescription lenses?


As a small team of just two makers, our shop is only open a handful of times throughout the year.


The prices for prescription lenses will be available with each release of frames.


Join our waiting list to stay informed about the next shop opening.
