Question 1

Are anti-fatigue lenses worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, anti-fatigue lenses are absolutely worth it if they’re suitable for your needs. Anti-fatigue lenses make it easier for your eyes to hold focus during long sessions of close-up tasks. If you’re experiencing eye strain or tired eyes at the end of the day from near-vision activities like computer work or reading, anti-fatigue glasses may be just what you need.

Question 2

Anti-fatigue lenses vs. progressive lenses: What’s the difference?

Accepted Answer

Both anti-fatigue and progressive lenses have a power boost at the bottom for near vision. One main difference between these lenses is the strength of that near-vision zone—the power boost is not as strong in anti-fatigue lenses. Another difference is that anti-fatigue lenses correct for near and far vision, whereas progressives also have a middle zone for intermediate distances.

Most often, progressives are prescribed for people with presbyopia, which causes blurry near vision due to age-related changes in the eyes. Anti-fatigue glasses are typically suggested for individuals who aren’t yet experiencing the effects of presbyopia.

Question 3

Can you get anti-fatigue prescription glasses?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Anti-fatigue power boosts are typically integrated into single-vision prescription lenses. In other words, they’re like an add-on to your existing single-vision prescription.

Question 4

How do anti-fatigue lenses work?

Accepted Answer

Anti-fatigue lenses work their magic with a small magnification boost seamlessly integrated at the bottom of the lens. When you’re focusing on a near object (like your phone or a book), notice how your eyes look down? That’s why the power boost is at the bottom of the lens. As your eyes move to focus on close-up work, they naturally transition to that near-vision zone of the lens.

Question 5

Where can I buy anti-fatigue lenses?

Accepted Answer

You can get anti-fatigue glasses from most optical shops and optometrists. And if you’re buying glasses online at Warby Parker, you can add anti-fatigue lenses to any frames—easy peasy. Just select them with your lens options when you’re adding them to your cart.
