Reading Glasses FAQs

How do I know if I need reading glasses?

If you experience difficulty focusing on nearby objects, like reading small print, or if you find yourself holding reading material farther away to see clearly, you may need reading glasses. Common signs include blurred vision or eye strain while reading or working at a computer.

What reading glass strength do I need?

To find the correct strength, consider your age and any symptoms of eye strain. Typically, you will need stronger magnification as you age. Take a look at our simple chart here to help determine your ideal lens strength. It's also a good idea to visit an optometrist for a professional evaluation.

Can I use reading glasses for both close-up tasks and using digital devices?

Yes, reading glasses can help with both tasks. However, if you're spending long hours in front of digital screens, you might also consider glasses with blue light protection to reduce eye strain caused by prolonged exposure to screens.

How do I care for my reading glasses?

To keep your reading glasses in good condition:

- Clean the lenses regularly with a microfiber cloth.

- Avoid using harsh chemicals or tissues that could scratch the lenses.

- Store your glasses in a protective case when not in use.
