How To Use A Reading Glasses

By Amanda Somrekli

Reading glasses are still available at the corner pharmacy. You can go in and pick out a pair of brown or black magnifying glasses for your face. Ugh! But if you really want to try for the totally cool versions, shop around.

And if you are also wearing them at home, you will want a pair that is durable, and will stand up to being transported in your purse, pocket or briefcase. A pair with a matching case would be a good choice.

You can even find tinted reading glasses. Tints vary in strength from those that are strictly for fashion to those that provide protection from bright sunlight. Sun reading glasses are great for reading outside. Bifocal sun reading glasses are great as they allow you the reading or near vision correction you require while still allowing you uncompromised distance vision.

Other ways to determine the strength required include using properly an eye chart at a store or one posted on a web site and simple experimentation: try several different strengths until you find the one that's most comfortable to use. Since Eye MDs advise no damage can be done to your eyes by experimenting with different diopter strength glasses, you've got nothing to lose.

Advances in medicine have led to surgical solutions for presbyopia. These treatments, including laser surgery and gel injections, are relatively new and carry risks that do not exist with reading glasses.

There are a number of different things to look at when deciding to buy reading glasses. The first is obvious, do you really need them? I don't think many people just decide to get reading glasses for the fun of it, so if your reading this article you probably have some trouble reading.

In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes, or so said Benjamin Franklin. It is ironic that the inventor of the bifocal did not add "and reading glasses" to that famous quote. It is inevitable that people will eventually need glasses to read or see close up, beginning at around the age of 40.

The reader glasses that will soften the square face are those with round frames. For a really chic look, opt for designer reading glasses whose left and right edges flow past the shape of the face.

You've been called baby-face so many times you're beginning to think it is your official nickname. When people see your round face, they can't help but think of babies, who are, after all, born with cute round faces.

For example, a company called pocket peeper has a credit card sized magnifying lenses that slip right into your wallet. These cards come with flashy designs and some even have embedded rhinestones. Another great item that has been brought back in a great new way is the lorgnette, or reading glasses sans frame. These wonderful pieces are the perfect accessory for that trendy woman.
