The difference between reading glasses and computer glasses

Reading glasses

Reading glasses are used by people who suffer from presbyopia, which is a natural age-related loss of the ability to focus on up-close objects, such as words when reading from a book or a smartphone.

As you may already know, reading glasses can be purchased without a prescription, the lens power in these glasses typically ranges from 1 to 4, you will find a plus sign (+) on them. However, we recommend using a guide chart when choosing your reading glasses.
