Understanding reading glasses strength might seem confusing, but it’s actually pretty intuitive. The higher the numbers, the more magnified words will be. For example, +1.5 is stronger than +1.25. Most people start using lower-strength reading glasses, then upgrade as their vision changes over time. If you already wear reading glasses, you should periodically consider stronger lenses to keep supporting your vision. If you’re new to reading glasses, the best way to pick your lens strength is to get an eye exam. Eye doctors will check the general wellness of your eyes, then help you identify the best reading glasses strength with a few simple tests. These tests usually include an eye chart to see what size letters are blurry. As a company founded by doctors, we recommend getting regular eye exams from a professional. Eye doctors provide the most accurate vision assessments, but you can also use printable glasses strength charts at home. These charts tell you which strength to get based on what words are clearest. 39DollarGlasses offers a full range of reading glasses strengths, so you’re covered no matter the level you need.
Finding high-quality and affordable reading glasses can be tough. In-person retailers don’t have very many style options, and quality is compromised in favor of cheap designs. Worse, shopping for frames isn’t fun when prices are high and you’re dealing with inexperienced companies. That’s why we’re on a mission to make buying glasses a better experience. 39DollarGlasses was founded by doctors who believe eye health should be affordable and accessible. Our wide selection of frames makes it easy to buy stylish reading glasses online, whether you want classic rimless reading glasses or something more modern like clear frames. Plus, each prescription reading glasses order is backed up by our Worry-Free Warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee. Skip the hassle and find your perfect pair of reading eyeglasses with 39DollarGlasses.com!
As we get older, near-distance vision tends to get blurry. Things like reading and using cell phones can be difficult when your eyes aren’t at their best — but reading glasses can help. By magnifying your vision, readers help you see clearly and read comfortably.
Reading glasses can be an important part of eye wellness. Without readers, blurry near-distance vision is distracting and sometimes painful. Your eyes might strain to see clearly, and your work could be impacted by poor vision. Reading glasses prevent these problems and give you clear vision when you need it most.
No. Reading glasses do not hurt your eyes when used properly. In fact, you might notice fewer headaches and less eye strain when you do wear readers. Your eyes have to work harder to see when they aren’t supported by proper eyewear, so wearing readers can be an important part of improving overall eye health. If you do notice discomfort while wearing reading glasses, you may need a different lens strength. The doctors at 39DollarGlasses recommend talking with an optometrist if you’re experiencing eye pain.
39DollarGlasses makes buying reading glasses online easy. First, pick your frames from our wide selection of styles. Sample your options with our virtual try-on tool, or choose a few favorites for different occasions. When you’re ready, place your order and we’ll ship it straight to your door.
Pupillary distance is the measurement between the black centers of your eyes. Our glasses experts use this measurement to perfectly align your lenses inside your rimless reading glasses. You can measure it at home by placing a millimeter ruler on the bridge of your nose, just below your eyes. Look in a mirror or have someone read the measurement for you. Most adults have a PD of about 55 to 65 mm. (You can see illustrated measuring instructions here.)
Eyeglasses prescriptions are divided by the left and right eye. Each eye is assigned a set of numbers that details what your reading eyeglasses need. We’ll use this info to custom-make your glasses in our New York lab. You can send us a photo of your prescription after you choose your frames, or enter the info manually. To enter it manually, reference your prescription and add each number to the corresponding box on your screen.
We pride ourselves on quickly shipping reading glasses. 39DollarGlasses is based in the U.S. and your readers will be custom-made in our New York lab. Most orders are ready for shipment within seven business days, but some take a little more time if they include complex prescriptions. We’ll keep you up to date so you know when to expect your reading glasses.
