Digital devices have conquered the world at an extremely fast pace in recent years, posing many new challenges to the human eye. In addition to gazing at digital screens at close range for several hours a day, the simple act of switching back and forth between near and far vision has increased considerably.<\/p>\n
According to findings of Hoya Vision<\/strong>, a Japanese optical company and\u00a0one of the Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies, Malaysians spend on average 8 to 10 hours a day looking at digital screens. Switching from laptop screens to mobile phones, and from tablets to back to laptops and in-car navigation can become very demanding on one\u2019s eyes.Added to that, our eyes are constantly deteriorating with age, taking into account new challenges and common age-related eye problems that may be prevalent, such as Presbyopia<\/strong>, a vision defect that is typically present in individuals aged 40 and over, makes it difficult for the eye to focus on close objects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Many of the progressive lenses\u00a0in the market that address presbyopia are not tailored to the individual wearer, causing problems such as distortion to their peripheral vision. When wearing progressive lenses that is not suitable, the wearer will have to train themselves to look through the correct portion of the lens to get a clearer vision. In fact, the wearer may feel off-balance and nauseated from looking through the wrong section of the lens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
