Reading glasses +1.5

Once you reach around 45 years of age, you will typically need reading glasses with a strength of +1.5 – but remember that spectacle strengths are individual. In our 40s, we start to experience our eyes having a harder time focusing, which makes it difficult for us to decipher small print. In professional terms, this is called presbyopia, which is age-related reduced visual acuity – also known as 'old age vision'. This occurs naturally as we age, when the eye's lens becomes less flexible and elastic. Specifically, it means that our eyes become less adept at switching focus between distances as we 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 quickly get a pair of OjeOje reading glasses to avoid symptoms like headaches, tired eyes, and muscle tension.

How often does your vision change?

'Old age vision' or presbyopia is not something you can ignore, as it won't go away – on the contrary, it will likely get 'worse'. For most people, the distance in front of the eye where you can see sharply will increase over time, so you will typically go up in strength by +0.5 every five years. However, over the years, your vision will stabilize. Until then, we recommend that you have your vision 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

– if you are in doubt and wavering between two strengths, we always recommend choosing the lower one, as it can feel uncomfortable to increase strength too quickly. We also recommend that you have your vision checked annually by an optician.
