An exam and a talk about your workday
A free eye exam at the store — and a few questions about how your day works: hours at the monitor, paperwork, meetings. Workspace depth is the main selection criterion.
Workspace depth
Three scenarios: "reading and phone" — gentle near support; "desk and monitor" — depth up to a few metres; "room and office" — when you need the screen, the person opposite and the whiteboard all in focus.
Design and level
From stock designs by Shamir and Essilor to individual calculations: Seiko SmartZoom Xd with a choice of addition, and Hoya iD WorkStyle V+ with three depths — Close, Screen, Space.
Making
Office lenses go into any frame in the catalogue: the complete-glasses tariff plus an upgrade — the chosen pair's price minus the ₸4,000 base lenses. Exact total before payment, 6-month warranty.
Three depths — three price entries
Prices are per pair, fixed. Each depth has higher levels — up to individual Seiko and Hoya iD designs.

Office lenses are not progressives
The distance zone in office lenses is limited: they're a specialised pair for the workplace, not a replacement for your main glasses — you don't drive in them. If you want one pair for every distance — road, screen, reading — that's the job of progressive lenses. Honest boundaries save money: sometimes the right answer is two pairs for two lives, sometimes one progressive.
Progressives — in the journal →Eyes tired by evening?
If full office designs are still ahead of you, there are lenses with gentle accommodation support: Shamir Eyezen Lite (+0.40D in the blue-light-filtering Blue Zero material) and Hoya AddPower 60 — made for the first signs of visual fatigue at reading and screen work. An exam will show whether such a pair suits you.

Common questions
A regular single-vision lens has one power across the whole surface. Office lenses are degressive: the power changes smoothly down the lens, giving wide, comfortable zones for documents, the monitor and the person opposite. Your head stays in a natural position — no tilting back, no hunting for focus.
Possibly — a specialist decides based on an exam. For the first signs of visual fatigue there are lenses with gentle accommodation support: Hoya AddPower 60 and Shamir Eyezen Lite with a blue-light filter. Not "age-related" office designs yet — support for heavy screen work.
No. The distance zone in office lenses is limited — they're a workplace pair: desk, monitor, room, meetings. For driving and the street, use your main glasses; if you want one pair for all distances, look at progressive lenses.
The mechanics are transparent: the complete-glasses tariff (frame + base lenses + the optician's work) plus the office-lens upgrade — the chosen pair's price minus the ₸4,000 base lenses. Example: a NEGIZGI-group frame with Shamir Office 1.50 — 9,900 + (38,900 − 4,000) = ₸44,800 for complete glasses. The total is always visible before payment.
It's the distance you need in sharp focus: just a book and phone — "near support"; desk and monitor — degressive designs with depth up to a few metres; office, meetings and the whiteboard — designs with a wide mid zone. The choice is made with a specialist, around your actual workday.
Hoya (WorkSmart Room, WorkStyle Business, individual iD WorkStyle V+), Seiko (SmartZoom Xd with a choice of addition, Indoor PC, Indoor 100/200), Essilor (VX Start, degressive Varilux Start), Shamir (Office, Eyezen Lite). Levels run from stock designs to individual calculation for your frame and fit.
Six months on complete glasses — ALIV's single warranty: manufacturing defects of frame and lenses, the optician's work. Eye exams at our stores are free — always, not only with a purchase.
