Lens replacement surgery can be suitable if you work on screens, and many people notice easier mid-range vision afterwards.
How it helps with computer work
Office and screen-based roles rely heavily on clear intermediate focus. Certain lens designs are chosen specifically to support comfortable viewing at arm’s length.
- Extended-range or multifocal lenses often give good computer and distance vision
- Can reduce the need for separate computer or varifocal glasses
- May improve clarity for tablets, phones, and shared screens in meetings
- Brighter, sharper vision if early cataracts are present
- Helps reduce frustration from constantly adjusting glasses during the day
Planning around your job
Recovery and adaptation need to fit your workload. A tailored plan helps you return to screens comfortably and safely.
- You may need a few days off while early glare and light sensitivity settle
- Short, frequent breaks and lubricating drops support comfort when you restart
- Some people still prefer mild prescription glasses for very long screen sessions
- Night-time screen use may show halos at first, particularly with multifocal lenses
- Share details of your role so your surgeon can recommend the best lens design
