Question 10

super readers

Answer 10

SuperReaders are higher quality lenses. They work in a way that allows the wearer to see up close and up to the furthest distance for customers to see for middle tasks

o one metre, two metres, and three metres. The metres refers to how far away the tasks are that the customer is performing, meaning the customer can see up close and up to their chosen metre. But what’s different is that the lenses are made using more advanced technology. They work in the same way as the SuperDigital varifocal and have precision view technology. This means the lens automatically caters to switching between different digital devices, like your phone or screens at work and gives the customer an extended viewing range.
