Today, I’m gonna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately – reading glasses. Yeah, those things you see old folks wearing. Well, I’m not quite there yet, but I’ve started to notice that my eyes aren’t what they used to be. So, I decided to do some digging and get myself a pair of these “readers”, as they call ’em.
First off, I learned that there are basically two types: full frames and half-eyes. Full frames are like your regular glasses, the whole lens is made for reading. Half-eyes are smaller and sit lower on your nose, so you can look over them to see things far away.
I went with the full frames because I figured I’d be using them a lot, and I didn’t want to be constantly switching between glasses. Plus, they make me look smarter, right?
- I started by trying to figure out what strength I needed. They call it diopter strength, and it ranges from +0.75 to +4.00. I read somewhere that you can get these things online or over the counter. Sounds easy enough.
- Next, I had to actually pick out a pair. There are so many shapes and sizes! I tried on a bunch, and eventually settled on a simple, black frame. They felt comfortable, and I could see clearly through them.
- I’ve been using them for a few days now, and I gotta say, it’s a game-changer. Reading is so much easier, and I don’t get those headaches anymore. It makes sense, now I know that reading glasses can increase image detail and focus.
Choosing the right reading glasses can be a little hard if you have never done it before. But now I have done it. If you’re starting to have trouble reading, don’t be afraid to give reading glasses a try. They might just be what you need.
I mean, these reading glasses are truly helpful to those with presbyopia, hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and so on. It’s really good.
