Reading glasses are designed to make close-up activities more comfortable by providing additional magnification for near vision. They are a popular and straightforward solution for presbyopia, the natural age-related change that makes near focusing more difficult from around the age of 40. Many people find that a well-matched pair transforms the comfort of everyday close tasks.
When reading glasses help
Reading glasses come into their own for the many close tasks that fill our days, and are a comfortable, convenient choice for a great many people.
- Reading books, menus and small print
- Working on a phone, tablet or computer
- Enjoying detailed hobbies and close-up handiwork
How we can help
During your eye examination we measure the exact strength you need for comfortable near vision, so that your reading glasses are matched precisely to you. We can also discuss whether multifocal or progressive lenses might suit you better if you would like clear vision at several distances from a single pair.
If close-up tasks have become a strain, we warmly invite you to book a comprehensive eye examination with our practice so we can find the right solution for you.
