5 Signs You Are Ready for Reading Glasses

  • Written by NewsServices.com


Glasses are everywhere nowadays, no matter if we are talking about vision glasses or sunglasses. With that in mind, while we do wear glasses to look fancy or protect ourselves from the sun, we don’t put the same focus on reading glasses. In fact, more than 2.5 billion people in the world that need glasses don’t wear them – mainly because they don’t know they need them. Here are some signs that you are ready for progressive reading glassesYou’re Constantly Have Headaches

How many times have you tried to read something, only to realize that you can’t get anything done because of a killer headache? Do you feel like you have a headache throbbing right behind your eyes? If that’s the case, then you might need reading glasses. It’s important to remember the 20-20-20 rule. If you read for 20 minutes, look away for 20 seconds at something that is at a 20-feet distance. If the headaches don’t calm down, get an eye check. The earlier you get your glasses, the less expensive the glasses should be – mainly because you won’t pay as much for the lens.

  1. You Are Seeing Halos

When your vision cannot properly focus the light on the retina, your vision may seem blurry – like a camera that is unable to focus on what’s in front of it. When this happens, you may start seeing glowing circles when looking at light. Glasses often solve this issue, as it is caused by visual conditions such as astigmatism, but it can also be a sign of cataract. Make sure to get an eye check.

  1. Your Eyes Become Tired When Reading

Whether you are writing on your computer or reading an actual book, you might feel your eyes getting tired very often – like an inability to keep them open. No, it’s not because you need another cup of coffee; it’s because your eyes are straining more than they should. A quick solution here would be to blink more frequently, adjust screen glare or take more breaks. However, these are only temporary solutions; to prevent that, you’ll need glasses.

  1. You Need More Light

In the past, you could probably use a dimmed lamp in order to read a book. However, as you are getting older, you will need more and more light to see what you are reading. Requiring more light is indeed part of life as you advance through age, but it’s also a sign that your eyes can no longer focus as easily – and therefore, you need reading glasses.

  1. You’re Over the Age of 40

You might not like it, but it happens; when you get older, your eyes no longer work in the way that they used to. Most people develop presbyopia when they reach their 40s. This condition allows you to see clearly in the distance – but when looking at things close to you, they become blurry. For that, you’ll need glasses.

The Bottom Line

You may have all of these signs, or you may just have one or two of them. Regardless of the case, you need to get an eye exam if you notice any of these problems. Once the problem gets worse, it can get more difficult to fix. Vision Direct can help you pick some readers when you get your results.
