Your customers’ lifestyle and visual behaviour have changed.

Life today is fast-paced, and your customers are constantly connected to people, information and things, both on- and offline. They tend to have their eyes glued to digital devices even when they are on the move. And yet, life is about more than just screens. Constantly switching between multiple digital devices and physical surroundings can be challenging for the eyes and may lead to uncomfortable vision or eye strain. This can make even ordinary tasks feel harder, or worse – let life’s details go unnoticed. Good, comfortable vision is crucial to take on every day, confident and aware. All your customers   – from young kids and teens through to seniors  – don’t only need clear central vision but also smooth peripheral vision. This helps them to easily switch between different distances and directions as they navigate through life.

Our visual needs evolve as we grow older.

Anatomical and physiological changes of the eyes can lead to different visual challenges over time. No matter how young or old your customers are, they must deal with the visual strain that has become part of their modern lifestyle. In addition, their visual needs also change with age. This can be attributed to three key factors:

  • A decrease in the amplitude of accommodation.
  • A change in pupil diameters – increasing for growing children and decreasing when we age as adults.
  • Kids and teenagers differ in age-specific facial anatomy and morphology resulting in changing parameters of wear to consider in the lens design.
