Correct strength of reading glasses
If you’ve never previously required prescription glasses to improve issues such as short or long-sightedness, or astigmatism, it’s highly likely that you can correct this problem with non-prescription reading glasses.
Here are a few suggestions to help you find your correct strength for reading:
1. Have your eyes tested at an Opticians
2. Download our Eyelids eyechart (it’s on our homepage)
3. Generally if you are 40-45 you will need power +0.50
4. If you are 45 - 50 you will need power +0.75 -+1.00
Reading glasses in the pictures are Morgan, Jazz and Edward
All these, and lots more are available in +0.50 and upwards at: Eyelids Reading Glasses
