 the setter writes through the Lens, so every other component subscribed to the
 same Lens sees the update.
 
+## Focused Lenses
+
+Use focused Lenses when a component should work with one part of a larger state
+object. A focused Lens is still a Lens, so it can be read with
+`Subscribable.useAll` or used with `Lens.useState` when React needs a
+read/write tuple.
+
+```tsx
+import { Effect, SubscriptionRef } from "effect"
+import { Component, Lens, Subscribable } from "effect-fc"
+
+interface UserProfile {
+  readonly name: string
+  readonly email: string
+  readonly role: string
+}
+
+class ProfileState extends Effect.Service<ProfileState>()("ProfileState", {
+  effect: Effect.gen(function* () {
+    const profile = Lens.fromSubscriptionRef(
+      yield* SubscriptionRef.make<UserProfile>({
+        name: "",
+        email: "",
+        role: "reader",
+      }),
+    )
+    const name = Lens.focusObjectOn(profile, "name")
+    const role = Lens.focusObjectOn(profile, "role")
+
+    return { profile, name, role } as const
+  }),
+}) {}
+
+const ProfileNameView = Component.make("ProfileName")(function* () {
+  const state = yield* ProfileState
+  const [name, setName] = yield* Lens.useState(state.name)
+  const [role] = yield* Subscribable.useAll([state.role])
+
+  return (
+    <label>
+      Name
+      <input
+        value={name}
+        onChange={(event) => setName(event.currentTarget.value)}
+      />
+      <span>Role: {role}</span>
+    </label>
+  )
+})
+```
+
+Updating the focused `name` Lens through `Lens.useState` updates the parent
+`profile` Lens. The focused `role` Lens is only read, so it stays on the simpler
+`Subscribable.useAll` path.
+
 For focusing into nested state, deriving lenses, custom write behavior, and the
 complete API, refer to the
 [`effect-lens` documentation](https://github.com/Thiladev/effect-lens).
