Why you might be a victim to blurry side vision

Ever noticed how your vision starts to blur as you glance sideways through your glasses? 

Don’t worry, you’re not going blind. In fact, many bespectacled individuals, especially those with higher prescriptions, share the same troubling experience. Even with a milder prescription, slight visual distortion along the edges of your glasses isn’t unusual at all. It’s simply optical physics! 

Blurry Side Vision: Why This Happens 

Most traditional single vision lenses, often termed stock lenses, are packaged with speed and cost efficiency in mind. While these lenses are fully functional at the front (i.e., the optical centre), vision is mainly optimised there. As your gaze shifts beyond the central focal point, particularly in flatter or thinner lenses, clarity begins to fall. 

This phenomenon becomes more pronounced with a higher prescription. Regardless of lens sphericity, peripheral blur is often compromised. 

A Traditional Alternative: Customisable Rx Lenses

Rx lenses are precision eyewear meant to hug your vision like a tailored suit. Made point-by-point with freeform technology, Rx lenses are designed based on your specific prescription and the way your frame sits on your face. 

However, given the personalised nature of these lenses, a lengthy duration is required before they are ready for collection— typically 5 to 7 working days. They’re also expensive, making them less practical as a quick replacement or for everyday wear. 

Our Solution: ZEISS ClearView Lenses

In 2021, leading global optics firm, ZEISS, introduced a brilliant gamechanger— the ZEISS ClearView lens, also known as the world’s first freeform stock lens.

Now, you can find this cutting-edge technology by ZEISS right here at Eye Theory!

What Stands Out About ZEISS ClearView Lenses

Surpassing Rx lenses, ZEISS ClearView lenses merge convenience with complete clarity all around. Using advanced freeform technology, each lens is digitally optimized at hundreds of points across its  surface. 

ZEISS ClearView Lenses VS regular stock lenses:

• 3× Larger Clear Vision Zone

Enjoy a noticeably widened area of sharp, distortion-free vision 

• Up to 16% Thinner and 49% Flatter

Get a sleeker profile without compromising on the optics (even in higher prescriptions!) 

At Eye Theory, we search for thoughtful engineering that welcomes real benefits without any trade-off. 

In pursuit of exceptional vision care, we collaborate exclusively with partners who align with our values: precision, innovation, and user-first design. Regardless of where, how, and how long you use your glasses, clear vision should never be compromised. Your eyes naturally crave end-to-end clarity, and not only at the centre.
