Ready reader glasses, also known as over-the-counter (OTC) reading glasses, are pre-made spectacles designed to help individuals with presbyopia—an age-related condition that makes it difficult to focus on close-up objects. Unlike prescription glasses, ready readers come in standard magnification strengths, typically ranging from +1.00 to +3.50 diopters, and are available without the need for an eye exam. They provide a convenient and affordable solution for those who need occasional vision support for reading, using digital devices, or performing close-up tasks.
 
 
 

Understanding Ready Readers


The Convenient Solution for Age-Related Vision Changes

As we age, certain changes in our bodies are inevitable, and one such change is our eyesight. Just like the passage of time, the need for reading glasses is something many people will experience. This condition, known as presbyopia, typically begins in the 40s and is caused by the natural aging of the eye’s lens, making it harder to focus on close-up objects and small print.


What Are Ready Readers?


Ready Readers, also known as non-prescription reading glasses, provide an easy and affordable solution to presbyopia. Most people experiencing this condition only suffer from long-sightedness, which can usually be corrected by magnification through Ready Readers. These glasses come in various strengths to accommodate different levels of visual impairment, with magnification increasing as one ages.


Choosing the Right Strength


Ready Readers are available in different strengths, ranging from +1.0 to +3.5 diopters, increasing in increments of +0.5 diopters. The appropriate strength depends on age and individual needs. Below is a general guideline:


Ages 40-50: +1.0 to +1.5

Ages 51-55: +1.5 to +2.0

Ages 56-60: +2.0

Ages 61-65: +2.5 to +3.0


To ensure optimal vision, it is advisable to try on different strengths before purchasing. If a selected strength appears too strong and causes blurriness, opting for a slightly lower magnification is recommended. Additionally, different strengths may be needed for different tasks. For example, while a +1.5 magnification may be sufficient for daily reading, a stronger magnification such as +3.0 may be beneficial for detailed work like sewing.

Specialized Reading Glasses


For individuals who spend long hours in front of screens, computer reading glasses can be a great investment. These glasses not only provide necessary magnification but also help protect the eyes by filtering out 40% of blue light, reducing eye strain and discomfort.

Selecting the Right Frame

Once the correct strength has been identified, the next step is choosing a suitable frame. Different face shapes may suit different frame styles:


Smaller faces: Small round or rectangular frames

Oval faces: Larger round frames

Larger faces: Classic rectangular or trapezium frames

Practicality vs. Fashion


When selecting Ready Readers, personal preference plays a crucial role. Some individuals prefer a simple and practical design, while others look for fashionable styles. A popular option is the “I Need You” brand from Hamburg, which features a design called “Hangovers.” These glasses have longer arms that provide a secure and comfortable fit, and they can conveniently hang around the neck when not in use.
