For instance, when you\u2019re in your 60s, you may need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/health\/healthy-living\/info-09-2012\/what-to-expect-in-your-60s.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three times as much light<\/a> to do the same tasks as you would when you were in your 20s. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While having brighter lights in the room or next to your chair may help relieve your eyes, it may be time to get a pair of readers if your eyes continue to feel strained.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-you-should-know-about-readers\"><strong>What you should know about readers: FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25045 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"What you should know about readers\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-1050x700.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05_PRIDE-0299-1-870x580.jpg 870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>1. What\u2019s the difference between buying over-the-counter (OTC) vs prescription readers?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over-the-counter reading glasses have the same power in each lens and can cause eyestrain if you need different powers in each eye.\u202fWearing custom-made prescription readers ensures you\u2019ll get the exact correction that your eyes need.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OTC readers lack astigmatism correction and can cause your eye muscles to work unnecessarily harder if you have astigmatism (which is in your cylinder (CYL) and axis values). A custom-made pair is best to correct blurry vision caused by astigmatism.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OTC readers are one-size-fits-all and are assumed to fit everyone. With a custom-made pair, your prescription and frames can be adjusted to suit your face and help you achieve perfect vision.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OTC readers only offer a limited range of prescriptions up to +3.25 or +3.75. If your normal distance correction is high (+3.00 or higher, or -3.00 or higher), a custom-made pair would be a better fit to get the reading power that you need.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OTC readers may not include lens coatings that help protect your eyes. With a custom-made pair, you can add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/lens-type\/coatings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scratch-resistant, blue light filtering, and anti-reflective lens coatings<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. How do I know what strength reading glasses I need?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your reading power determines what you need to see clearly within near distance. To calculate it, add your magnification power (ADD) to your distance power (SPH, CYL and axis).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still not sure? Don\u2019t worry &#8211; our system will help you calculate your reading power when you enter your multifocal prescription on our site. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Can you wear reading glasses for the computer?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Can you wear reading glasses for the computer\" class=\"wp-image-16431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-296x197.jpg 296w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2-870x580.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/eye-health-digital-blue-light-2.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know that your \u201creading\u201d power is different than what you require to see your computer monitor clearly. The power of the glasses depends on the focal length.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the power that your eyes need to view your computer screen (which is usually an arm\u2019s length, within 65cm to 75cm) is different than to read a book or your phone (which is usually an elbow\u2019s length, within 45cm to 55cm). You may need another pair with slightly less power to see clearly and comfortably at the computer. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can customize your prescription to order a pair of single vision <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/do-you-need-computer-glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">computer glasses<\/a> on our site if your prescription contains an \u201cintermediate add\u201d. Enter your distance correction in the SPH, CYL, and AXIS spaces and your intermediate add in the ADD space. Choose \u201creading\u201d when you\u2019re asked how you\u2019d like to use the glasses \u2014 only in this case, \u201creading\u201d is actually arm\u2019s length.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you require both reading and computer prescription without switching your glasses, check out our computer progressives: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/why-you-need-office-progressives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DualView BlueReflect\u2122 office progressives<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. When is the best time to wear reading glasses and can you wear them all day?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s best to wear them only when you need them for on-hand tasks,\u201d Chua says. \u201cIf your prescription is low and it doesn\u2019t hinder any day-to-day activities, you could wear them throughout the day. However, if your prescription is high, it may affect your vision greatly and we don\u2019t recommend wearing them all day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want to wear your glasses all the time without having to take them on and off, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/lens-type\/multifocal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">progressive glasses<\/a>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Is there an adjustment period?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, all glasses have an average adjustment period between two to three days except progressive glasses may take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/how-to-adapt-to-wearing-progressive-glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">up to two weeks<\/a>,\u201d Chua says. \u201cWhen used correctly, most people adjust to reading glasses within two to three days.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"shop-reading-glasses-starting-at-$9\"><strong>Shop reading glasses online starting at $9<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_32379\" style=\"width: 1717px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32379\" class=\"wp-image-32379 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"shop reading glasses online starting at $9\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_8702-387x580.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@themintedmama<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/glasses\/readers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reading glasses<\/a> that make you feel comfortable and confident!
