FAQ: Your Questions About Reading Glasses

Q: How do I know if I need reading glasses?

A: The first signs of presbyopia usually appear around age 40-45. You might need reading glasses if you start holding text farther away to see it better, experience increased eye strain after reading, or need more light to read comfortably.

Q: How do I choose the right diopter for my reading glasses?

A: The required diopter depends on the progression of your presbyopia. It generally increases with age. A simple test with an optician or ophthalmologist can determine the exact correction. You can also test different diopters in-store (often available in pharmacies) on a piece of text to find the one that offers you the best visual comfort. Start with the lowest strength that allows you to read clearly at a normal distance.

Q: Can I wear reading glasses all day?

A: Reading glasses are designed specifically to improve near vision. They are not suitable for distance vision. Therefore, it is recommended to wear them only for close-up activities like reading, writing, or using screens. You need to take them off to look into the distance to avoid impairing your distance vision.

Q: Are reading glasses sold in pharmacies or over-the-counter of good quality?

A: The reading glasses we offer are selected for the quality of their lenses and frames to ensure good visual comfort for occasional or regular reading assistance. They meet strict manufacturing standards. However, they do not replace a comprehensive eye exam if you have other vision problems or if your presbyopia requires a more specific correction.
