Reading Glasses — How to find the right glasses for you?

After hitting forty, your eyesight goes downhill. Your muscles weaken with age. Your eyes also become weak and you have difficulty seeing things close up. You will squint to see things clearly or shift the book a bit far to get a clear view.

As you age, your near vision deteriorates and you will need reading glasses to read things clearly. Whether it is a book, computer screen or phone screen, you will see things blurry at a near distance. If you had myopia before then you will develop presbyopia as you age. Your far and near vision both get deteriorated. You can start using reading glasses along with your farseeing glasses or get varifocal glasses that will help in seeing at all distances.

Low power reading glasses

When your reading power is between +0 to +3, you have low hyperopia. You don’t really need glasses, especially when you have hyperopia below +1.0. You have trouble seeing very close objects. You won’t need glasses unless you do near vision jobs like sewing or working on miniature art. Normally glasses below +0.75 are not available. You can get your special reading glasses online made for power below +0.75.

Very low hyperopia often goes unnoticed as we don’t usually need very near vision. You focus mostly on things that are in your reading distance that is 30 cm. Anything closer usually gets unnoticed.

For power above +1.0, you have a slight difficulty in reading. You will only need glasses when reading or working on a computer, otherwise, your eyesight is good.

High power reading glasses

Reading glasses with a prescription of more than +3.00 means you have a problem reading normal-sized texts and you have to strain your eyes to see them clearly. Working on a computer is difficult without your glasses. In such cases, you will need high power reading glasses.

Without glasses, you will get a headache as you try to focus on nearby objects. You can see well after adjusting your position or putting the book a bit far off. But it is a hassle and it is better to get cheap prescription glasses online than to adjust your position all the time.

How to determine your reading glasses strength

The easiest way is to get your eye tested. It can cost you a bit. In the UK, you can get offers or discounts through the NHS or you can even get a free eye test from the NHS. Check your eligibility and get your eyes tested. You can also get a free eye test from Specscart. Take a test and determine what prescription glasses you will need for your eyes.

Another way is to read this chart without your glasses to determine what strength of glasses you will require for your reading glasses. You just need to keep this chart at a reading distance that is 30 cm away and you can check your reading glasses power.

How to get the best reading glasses for your eyes

You don’t just need reading glasses of the right prescription but also of the best quality. You will mostly use your reading glasses for reading books or working on computers or digital devices. For such work, you should get computer glasses or blue light blocking glasses. These glasses will give you a clear vision as well as comfort while working or viewing a digital screen.

Blue lights will make your eyes hurt, strain or fatigue. Reading glasses with blue light blocking lenses will block these blue lights and give you a clear and comfortable vision. Your eyes will not hurt much. You will not get dry eyes or other side effects from blue lights. Get your readers made in clear frame glasses or boxy glasses or any other stylish frames. You can choose from the hundreds of stylish frames from Specscart.

For high power hyperopia, you can get your glasses made with ultra-thin or premium thin lenses. Regular lenses will make your eyes appear unusual behind glasses. High index lenses like premium thin or ultra-thin lenses are very thin and light in weight. These lenses do not distort the appearance of your eyes behind the glasses. Your eyes appear normal and you get a clear view from the glasses.

High index lenses are slightly costly than normal lenses, but they are worth the price as they do not hamper your look. You can try high index lenses from Specscart. Not just quality, you will get these lenses at a low cost. You will not have to worry about the price.
