KODAK Lenses with Anti-Fatigue Progressive Technology
 Reduce Eyestrain
Performing near-viewing tasks for extended lengths of time
may cause excessive strain on the eyes. A patient’s eyes
will naturally drift outward while performing close work.
The process of trying to turn the eyes back in often leads to
a number of symptoms including the following:
- Eyestrain
- Headaches
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Burning and tearing
- Frequent loss of place
- Visual fatigue
- Inability to concentrate
Help for Eyestrain Victims
For presbyopic patients who are experiencing any of the
above symptoms, a new technological solution is available
from Signet Armorlite.
The patented Anti-Fatigue Progressive Technology is
incorporated within the progressive lens design to reduce
eyestrain and related symptoms when working at-near.
Incorporating base-in prism in the reading area of the
progressive lens assists the normal binocular function of
a patient’s eyes. This technological enhancement has been
shown to reduce eyestrain and eye fatigue which often leads
to headaches. Progressive lens-wearers are able to perform
near-viewing tasks for longer durations and with less
discomfort.
Proven Relief You Can Offer Your Patients
Patients can enjoy the benefits of reduced eyestrain and eye
fatigue. A study conducted by Illinois College of Optometry
documents a reduction of symptoms associated with near-viewing tasks with the use of progressive lenses with base-in
prism.

Study Documents Efficacy
Adults (ages 45 to 68 years) took part
in a double-blind study to investigate
a treatment for symptomatic convergence
insufficiency. The purpose of
this study was to determine whether
the application of base-in prism could
alleviate their symptoms.
All subjects took a survey to create a
baseline of their symptoms. Each
subject was assigned two pairs of
progressive lenses, one with base-in
prism and one without (placebo).
Subjects wore each pair of glasses for
3 weeks and completed the same
survey at the end of the third week.
Based on the results from the study,
the progressive addition glasses with
base-in prism were found to be
effective in alleviating symptoms of
presbyopes with symptomatic convergence
insufficiency.
