When do you need reading glasses with a strength of +1.0?
Typically, you will need reading glasses when you reach your 40s, and often you will start with reading glasses with a strength of +1.0 – but remember that eyeglass strengths are individual. In our 40s, we begin to experience our eyes having difficulty focusing, which makes it hard to decipher small print. In technical terms, this is called presbyopia, which is age-related diminished visual acuity – also known as 'farsightedness' or 'age-related vision loss'. This happens naturally as we get older, as the eye's lens becomes less flexible and elastic. Specifically, this means that our eyes become worse at changing focus between distances with age. Reading glasses work by compensating for the eye lens's lack of elasticity, thereby restoring your sharp vision. It's a good idea to get your hands on a pair of OjeOje reading glasses quickly to avoid symptoms like headaches, tired eyes, and muscle tension.
How often does your vision change?
'Farsightedness', 'age-related vision loss' or presbyopia is not something you can ignore, because it won't go away – on the contrary, it will likely get 'worse'. The distance in front of your eye where you can see sharply will, for most people, increase over time, so you will typically increase your strength by +0.5 every five years. However, your vision will stabilize with age. Until then, we recommend that you have your eyes checked annually by an optician. As a rule of thumb, you can also use our simple age-based strength guide:
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
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 are in doubt and wavering between two strengths, we always recommend that you choose the lower one, as it can feel uncomfortable to increase strength too quickly. We also recommend that you have your vision tested annually by an optician.
