Frequently Asked Questions
What distance does the EV20 cover?›
The EV20 provides clear focus from 20 inches to 20 feet, covering nearly everything in a room—from a book in your hands to the TV across the living room.
When should I choose EV20 over EV6?›
Choose the EV20 when you need to see across a room, not just across a desk. The EV6 is optimized for 18 inches to 6 feet (screens and desk work), while the EV20 extends your clear vision to 20 feet—great for cooking, entertaining, and general home activities.
Can I use EV20 readers for computer work?›
Yes, but if you spend most of your day at a computer, the EV6 is a better fit for that specific range. The EV20 is ideal for people who split their time between desk tasks and room-range activities like reading, cooking, and watching TV.
Can I see the TV with EV20 readers?›
Yes. The EV20 provides clear vision up to 20 feet, which comfortably covers the distance from your couch to most TVs. You can read the remote, check your phone, and watch the screen without switching glasses.
Do I need a prescription for EV20 readers?›
No. EV20 readers are available in standard reading powers from +1.00 to +3.00. They use extended vision lens technology—not a prescription—to provide clear focus across multiple distances.
How are EV20 readers different from progressives?›
Progressive lenses require a prescription, fitting appointments, and an adaptation period. They have narrow zones that require tilting your head to find the right spot. EV20 readers have a wide, natural field of clear vision that works from the moment you put them on—no adaptation period needed.
