At work or at rest, many of us spend our days perusing text on computer screens, phone screens or in print. The need to read doesn’t always stop and start at our convenience and having a good pair of reading glasses handy can really speed things up and ease the burden on our eyes.

What are the advantages of reading glasses?

Reading glasses are a more affordable, ready-made alternative to prescription lenses. They’re ideal for people who have presbyopia, the blurring of close-up objects that begins around age 40. Reading glasses have the same strength in both lenses, so they’re suited for people without vastly different prescriptions in each eye.

If you want more of a knockabout option when you need to sling some spectacles on your face to magnify text, a quality pair of readers could be just what you’re looking for. Trendy reading glasses may also be your chance to snazz up your style–many frames feature more playful designs than regular prescription frames since they aren’t worn all day.

At what age do I need reading glasses?

The inability to focus on small text typically begins around age 40 and up. With the amount of text that gets consumed on a daily basis, and the amount of screen time going up, reading glasses may be more helpful than ever before. A rise in eye strain from CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome) means that more people may now find themselves wearing reading glasses when reading text onscreen and offscreen.

Lentiamo also sells blue light reading glasses to alleviate the CVS strain that comes from the harsh blue light of digital devices.

How to find your reading glasses strength?

To find the best reading glasses for you, we always recommend getting your eyes checked professionally beforehand. If you're not sure whether you need reading glasses or another visual aid, visit an eye doctor or optometrist. They can perform a comprehensive eye exam and recommend the best type of corrective lenses for your individual needs.

Reading glasses are measured in lens power (dioptric power). Reading glasses strength is denoted by a number following the + symbol. The higher the number, the stronger the power of magnification.

You may find the following list helpful when selecting which lens power you need:

  • Ages 40-45: +0.75 to +1.50 dioptres
  • Ages 45-50: +1.50 to 2.00 dioptres
  • Ages 50-60: +2.00 to +2.50 dioptres
  • Ages 60 and up: +2.50 to +2.75 dioptres
  • Can I wear reading glasses all the time?

    Wearing reading glasses for long periods of time won’t damage your eyes, but could give you eye fatigue and headaches if you try to wear them during activities that require a wider scope of vision. It’s always important to pick glasses that match your particular needs.

    Is it better for reading glasses to be too strong or too weak?

    If you've tried two pairs and found them to both be acceptable, it’s better to take the one with the lower power because wearing higher powers than necessary can cause more eye strain and headaches.
