When do you need reading glasses?
Have you noticed that small letters are starting to blur together? That it's hard to read on your phone unless you hold it at a distance? And maybe you've even given up on reading ingredient lists on supermarket items? Most people need reading glasses in their 40s, when many experience challenges with deciphering small print. This is where reading glasses can be your salvation, helping you to see clearly despite your age.
What are reading glasses?
Reading glasses are spectacles where the lens acts as a magnifying glass, making objects like books, phones, computer screens, and menus easier to read. Glasses with plus powers are typically used when presbyopia develops – an age-related condition that affects most people and makes it harder to focus on close-up objects.
What is presbyopia?
If you're in the decade that begins with a 4, you'll likely experience changes in your eyes – in technical terms, it's called presbyopia or the slightly less appealing 'old sight' or 'age-related vision'. Presbyopia occurs naturally with age as the eye's lens loses its flexibility, making it harder to shift focus. It's a bit like a camera lens. Perhaps the image looks normal when you look through the lens. But when you want to see things up close or far away, it blurs a bit, and you can no longer focus sharply on the world around you = YOU NEED A PAIR OF READING GLASSES!
8 signs you need reading glasses:
1. Blurred vision at normal reading distance.
2. Eye strain during reading or computer work.
3. Difficulty switching focus between distances.
4. Needing to hold your phone, book, or laptop further away.
5. Arms feeling too short to hold objects far enough away to focus clearly.
6. Headaches while reading.
7. Difficulty deciphering small print, especially in dim lighting.
8. Age over 40.
What strength do reading glasses have?
Reading glasses have plus-power and typically range from +1.0 to +3.0. Most people discover the need for reading glasses when their strength reaches +1. Reading glasses, also called 'ready-made' glasses or 'ready-to-wear' glasses, are not custom-made by an optician and can be easily purchased online if you know your strength and have no other vision challenges, such as astigmatism, that need to be considered.
How to find your strength?
If you're unsure about your strength, you can get an eye test at an optician. Most places offer them for free, and you're not obligated to buy glasses from them. You can also use OjeOje's age-based strength guide to point you in the right direction:
35-40 years: +0.5
40-45 years: +1.0
45-50 years: +1.5
50-55 years: +2.0
55-60 years: +2.5
60-65 years: +3.0
– if you're between two strengths, we always recommend choosing the lower one, as it can feel very uncomfortable to increase the strength too quickly.
How to choose the right reading glasses?
Reading glasses are not just a necessity, but also a cool accessory if you choose the right shape and color. Our reading glasses come in many models and colors, from classic black, tortoiseshell, and dark blue to colorful shades like orange, purple, and green. At OjeOje, you'll find both round reading glasses, square reading glasses, oval reading glasses, oversized reading glasses, small reading glasses, and rectangular reading glasses.
