The computer lens is a multifocal lens with a comforting reading range of about 16” to 20” inches, computer range from 22” to 26” inches and progressing to a short distance-range of about 15’ to 20’ feet. There are no segment lines on these lenses, but unlike the progressive lens these lenses have virtually no peripheral distortion with a wide corridor (intermediate lens area), hence perfect for computer use.
