Reading glasses FAQs
Reading glasses are often likened to magnifying glasses in their functionality, though that’s not exactly how they actually work. Rather than simply magnifying, reading glasses are designed to help your eyes focus more clearly on things you’re viewing close-range.
The strength of glasses lenses is measured in number units called diopters. The numbers in the measurements have a plus or minus sign in front of them. That plus sign means the lenses have a higher strength and will boost your eyes’ ability to focus on things closer to your eyes. Most reading glasses fall into this category, and if you need them you’re probably farsighted.
A minus sign means the lens strength is decreasing and will boost your ability to see things farther away from your eyes. Most nearsighted people have lenses like this.
