How do I Find What Reading Glass Strength I Need?


In order to find what reading glass strength you need, follow these simple directions.
In order for this chart to work effectively you MUST print out this chart below.
This chart will direct you to the magnification strength you need. Then, without any glasses on - hold this chart approximately 14 - 16 inches from your eyes. Start at the top of the chart and read each line across and continue down to the next line, then the next, until you reach the first line that is difficult to read. At the end of this line look and you will see the diopter or strength you need. This is the power you'll use, try not to squint or move the chart when checking the strength.Over the counter reading glasses are recommended to patients who need help reading fine print. However, if each of your eyes require different strengths or any unusual prescription, reading glasses may not be suitable for you. If you are unsure please check with your optician.


Are Readi-Reads Safe To Wear?
Over the counter reading glasses are recommended to patients who need help reading fine print. However, if you have two eyes each requiring a different strength, or any unusual prescription, reading glasses may not be suitable for you. Reading glasses are not intended to replace prescription eyewear. If you are unsure whether or not you can benefit from readi-reads, please see an eye care professional.
