READING GLASSES:  How to Get a CLASSY and Fabulous Fit.

  Why is the Strength and Magnification of Reading Glasses Important?  Presbyopia is a condition that results in a decreased ability to focus on close-range objects.  Fortunately, selecting reading glasses with the proper magnification will improve the ability to view objects at close range, without requiring a prescription.  The level of magnification in the lenses of reading glasses is called diopter strength. A very weak magnification would be found in reading glasses with a diopter strength of +.75 or +1.00 (Size "LOW") and increased magnification is found in a diopter strength of over +2.50 (Size "HIGH").  

  Which Magnification Is Right for You?   For most new users of reading glasses, it's highly unlikely that size HIGH will be required because Presbyopia typically starts as a minor vision impediment, and slowly increases with age.  This is the average age/strength formula for the majority of individuals who wear reading glasses:            

        AGES 35-45       +1.25, +1.50, +1.75 strength        CLASSY SIZE LOW  

        AGES 45-50        +2.0, +2.25 strength                    CLASSY SIZE MEDIUM  

        AGES 50 plus      +2.5, +2.75  strength                  CLASSY SIZE HIGH
