Reading glasses are required for clear vision and to prevent eye strain when it becomes difficult to read prints or see objects up close. These glasses are a solution to correct vision without any medical procedures when objects appear blurred or double to eyes at a closer look. After attaining a certain age, say around 40, the natural lens in the eyes becomes less flexible and is unable to focus on objects. Thus, reading glasses also known as power readers or sometimes power readers﴿ come in handy to correct vision and for better clarity while viewing objects nearby.
When Reading glasses are required?
These glasses are necessary if the vision is affected by Presbyopia i.e. the inability of the eyes to focus on closer objects; whereas the eyes can focus on distant objects easily. Presbyopia or long-sightedness is a very common condition of eyes which occurs when the eyes lose elasticity of their natural lens in old age and it persists life‐ long. Glasses for reading are required if any one or more of the following symptoms are noticed:‐
- Persistent eye strain, headache, painful or watery eyes.
- Attaining old age, especially after entering the 40s.
- Inability to read at less than arm’s length or in dim light.
- Squinting eyes to read.
- Halo appears around light or bulbs.
- Viewing laptops, smartphones, tablets etc. from closer appearance to blur.
- After surgery certain surgeries like cataracts, if recommended by a medical practitioner.
Power Strength
Reading glasses are convex and have a magnifying lens that carries a specific power that is measured in Dioptres. The lowest power is generally +0.75 and the highest is +8.00. Reading glasses strength charts is quite helpful and the easiest method of assessing power. These charts carry printed alphabets or numbers are displayed at a distance of 14-16 inches away from eyes in various rows with diminishing size/ fonts. That row where eyes are unable to read further or the font appears blurry, decides the power of the glasses required. In rare cases, consulting a doctor is a better option if the eye strain and headache continues even after using glasses.
Non-Prescription and Prescription Power Readers
Prescription glasses have lenses that correct defective vision caused due to nearsightedness, farsightedness or both. The prescription glasses with a defined power lens can correct vision if it is difficult to view objects at distance, close up or both. When eyes are examined by a medical practitioner or expert optometrist, the documented opinion consisting of prescription is followed to craft the glasses in conformity to the same. Apart from nearsightedness and farsightedness, prescription glasses are able to correct vision defects caused due to Diplopia (with a prism in the lens), nystagmus (with a magnifying lens), astigmatism (with a concave lens having cylindrical number and relevant axis) etc. Non-prescription glasses are not meant to correct any vision defects. They do not possess correcting lenses in them and anyone can wear them even if eyesight is perfect. These glasses are trending due to their fashion quotient, to appear stylish or used as protecting glasses having tinted lenses, anti-glare, anti-UV and anti-X Blue light coating. Reading glasses for men and women can be prescription glasses or over the counter glasses with similar power strength in both lenses.
Reader Glasses
Are Reader glasses different from Sunglasses, Computer glasses and Distant glasses?
Reader Glasses carry vision-correcting properties for farsightedness. On the other hand, sunglasses are useful against protecting eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun; while computer glasses perform glare resistance and digital X‐blue light-blocking functions. Apparently, distance glasses are required to correct nearsightedness with the lens power range of ‐0.50 to ‐10.

Bifocal Glasses
Bifocal Reading Glasses
Bifocal can correct both farsightedness and nearsightedness and consist of two prescription lenses in a single glass. While the upper part of the glass is designed to view distant objects clearly, the lower part with a visible distinctive line can fix farsightedness. People having problems with viewing objects close up and at distance can benefit from Bifocal glasses as it does away with the need of carrying two separate glasses for different views.
Varifocal or Progressive glasses
Varifocals are enhanced versions of bifocal reading glasses, as they are divided into three parts in a single lens without any visible distinct lines. The upper part is for distant vision, the intermediate part for mid-distance vision, and the lower part is for reading. It is easy to view objects from distance to near with the tilt of head only and the eyes can focus on objects comparatively easier outdating bifocals as things of the past.
Transitions Lenses The Light Adaptive Lenses
Transitions Lenses — The Light Adaptive Lenses
Transition glasses are clear glasses, but the colour of lenses changes from clear to dark tints in response to sunlight. The hues of the lenses change according to the variation of surrounded UV rays. Instead of carrying two glasses ﴾clear and tinted﴿, transition glasses perform the function of both clear reading glasses as well as tinted reading glasses or sunglasses.

- Stand 12 inches or 30 cm away from a mirror
- Look straight into the mirror and hold a millimetre ruler/scale flat against your eyebrows. You can also use an app on the phone if you don’t have a ruler.
- Close your right eye and alight the 0 mm mark to the centre of your left pupil
- Now close your left eye while keeping the right one open without moving the ruler
- Find the mark corresponding to the centre of your left pupil. The measurement you get is your PD
- Repeat the process a few times to make sure the number you get is consistent
If you can’t figure out how to measure your PD online, you can just take a close snap of your eyes with a millimetre ruler placed horizontally over them and send the picture to us. We will give you an exact measurement or you can visit our store to get it done physically.
Monocular vs. binocular PD measurements
There are two types of PD measurements:
Monocular PD measurement: This refers to the distance from the centre of your pupil to the centre of the nose bridge. It is a two-number measurement required for the fitting of progressive lenses.
Binocular PD measurement: This refers to a single number denoting the distance between your pupils and equals the sum of your two monocular PDs.
