EV Readers Guide

The Right Lens for the Right Task

Think about how you're going to wear them — that's the key to choosing the right lens.

Specialized tools for specialized tasks

Think of EV Readers like golf clubs. You use a driver off the tee for long shots, an iron for mid-range, and a putter on the green. Nobody would putt with a driver — so why expect a great experience from one pair of progressive lenses when you spend hours at a desk working on a computer?

Each EV lens is engineered for a specific use case you face every day. The right lens depends on how you plan to wear them.

18″ to 6 feet

EV6™ — Your Desk Companion

If you spend hours at a desk working on a computer, you're going to love the EV6. It's engineered for the clearest and most comfortable view for near-vision tasks.

  • Read your phone easily
  • Look past your phone to see your keyboard and computer screen seamlessly
  • See everything on your desk effortlessly

Nearly the entire lens is usable with wide peripheral vision and truly seamless transitions from up close to a little further away to around your workspace.

18″ to 20 feet

EV20™ — Home & Office All-Rounder

The EV20 is great if you bounce from computer work at your desk to meetings, or if you work from home and want one pair that delivers a really comfortable view indoors.

  • Work in your office, then move to the kitchen
  • Read up close and work on your computer
  • Watch TV from the couch across the room

The vision corridor is a little narrower than the EV6 — a little less peripheral vision — but you'll still be able to read, work on your computer, and see around the room.
