OVER THE COUNTER READING GLASSES VS. PRESCRIPTION READING GLASSES
Over the counter reading glasses are designed for short-term wear, and work best for people who have the same lens power, in each eye and don’t have astigmatism, a common condition that causes blurred vision.
If you have unequal corrections in each eye, Myopia (a problem seeing in the distance), astigmatism or computer eyestrain prescription reading glasses are needed.
Reading glasses help compensate for diminished vision related to presbyopia, the normal age-related loss of the ability to focus on up-close objects, such as words in a book or a text message on a smartphone.
People require one lens power for general up-close reading and another power for computer use, which has a different focal distance. One pair of reading glasses might not do the trick.
Over the counter reading glasses may not help with your close and intermediate focus. Headaches, eyestrain and even nausea can result from putting on reading glasses that don’t have the proper lens power.
Over the counter reading glasses may be made with low-quality lens materials, which can cause vision distortion, color distortion or glare.
PRESCRIPTION READING GLASSES
Are lenses made for your individual vision needs
Are an insurance-eligible purchase
Offer special lens coatings and features
Include a frame fitting session by an optician

Eye Health Tips
Protect Your Sight Every Day
Wear a hat and sunglasses year round to prevent UV damage to your eyes.
Outside when pollen counts are high? Sunglasses or eyeglasses can help prevent pollen from getting in your eyes.
Smoking increases the risk of developing cataracts – quit or avoid smoking to help keep your eyes healthy.
Never look directly at the sun, even when squinting or wearing sunglasses. Doing so can permanently damage your vision.
