If the Combined Glasses concept we propose is accepted and becomes widespread, our possible predictions are as follows:
1-Increase in clip-frame sales: These frames, originally produced for filters like sunglasses, will become versatile as their clips can now also be used with + lenses, leading to higher sales.
2-Comfort for progressive lens users improves: Particularly at intermediate distances such as computer screens, clarity with a straight gaze is achieved, increasing satisfaction.
3-Confidence in progressive lenses is renewed: Users who previously moved away from progressive glasses due to reasons like screen use may return, potentially increasing sales of quality progressive lenses.
4-One frame + one clip = 1.5 glasses joke: Users are freed from the obligation of carrying separate distance-near or office glasses.
5-Sales of + spherical lenses for clips increase: An additional revenue item for opticians and a low-cost, practical solution for patients.
6-Positive feedback for opticians and ophthalmologists: User satisfaction directly reflects positively on service providers.
7-As office glasses become less necessary, there may be a shift from office glasses to the Combined Glasses concept.
8-Clip-frame manufacturers may offer more than two clips and present them in different colors or shades to distinguish them.
9- The clips may undergo modifications, such as slight thickening, to accommodate higher-power (+) lenses.
10-Eye doctors’ prescriptions may evolve to include an additional + power for intermediate distance alongside distance and near prescriptions.
11-In the long term, a new subcategory may emerge in the industry: “Combined Glasses” style solutions could attract more brands and foster innovative designs.
