Ready Made vs. Prescription Reading Glasses

Since the 1990s, sales of readymade reading glasses have been up, due largely to the convenience of purchasing them at pharmacies and grocery stores. While this may be a convenient option, it is not necessarily a safe one.

In addition to poor quality construction, these cheap glasses often do more harm than good. For one thing, readymade reading glasses have the same strength lenses in each eye, while most people who would benefit from reading glasses actually require a different prescription for each eye. Wearing glasses with an incorrect prescription can result in headaches, eyestrain, and even nausea. Readymade glasses are also only offered in a very small range of prescription magnification, which increases the likelihood of obtaining an incorrect lens for your eyes.

Readymade reading glasses are not a safe alternative to regular eye exams. In fact, wearing these off the shelf glasses for extended periods of time could even make matters worse, especially if you have an underlying condition such as glaucoma, AMD or complications from diabetes. Protect your vision, find the Eyeglass World nearest you to schedule an eye exam*, and browse our selection of affordable reading glasses.
