Who Needs Reading Glasses?
Eventually, everyone. Close vision deteriorates over time and it is a symptom of a very common, unavoidable, incurable condition called Presbyopia. It is a natural occurrence that comes with age. By the time we get to about our forties, our eye lenses start to become less malleable and it starts to become difficult for the lenses to easily bend into the correct shape for close up vision. It is important to know you have deteriorating eye sight because it can affect activities like reading and driving. And trust us, you're not alone.
But What About Bifocals?
Only if you need help with near AND far vision do you get bifocal lenses. The line on these lenses are also hard to get adjusted to and bifocals can cost almost double what reading glasses cost. Progressive lenses, similar to bifocals but without the line on the lens, can cost even more than bifocals. If you are looking for glasses for only close-up vision, reading glasses are your solution.
