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.
