This document summarizes the Vivior Workplace Report, which analyzes office workers' visual behavior to recommend the best office lenses. It notes that office lenses are an important but untapped category that will grow as more people work from home. The report uses LIDAR technology to measure a customer's head movements, screen distances, lighting, and other behaviors. It then recommends the best office lens design and adjustments to optimize visual comfort based on their personal visual profile. The goal is to help opticians select the right office lenses customized to each customer's needs.
2. Office spectacles is a fast-growing category in
vision care, driven by the constant increase in
office worker population

3. and it is expected to further accelerate due to the
adoption of home-office work related to the
Covid pandemic
Recent studies show that over the last 12 months
people spent over 13 hours per day in front of
their computer, a 60% increase from 2018
93.6% of respondents reported an increase in their
screen time

compared to progressive and single vision lenses

5. This is mainly due to the lack of systematic and reliable
approach for opticians to select the best office lens for
each customer
Challenges for opticians to sell more office spectacles:
Lack of expertise on office lens designs
Current approaches to select an office lens design are
based on unprecise and/or subjective data, i.e. prone to
errors
Difference of visual behavior between traditional office and
home-office settings is difficult to assess
6. The Monitor is the unique tool to help opticians select
the best office spectacle, customized to the customers
