Do I Need Reading Glasses?

Welcome to the new Readerwear blog! Here you will find helpful resources about eye health, choosing reading glasses, eyewear fashions and much more. While you are here, it is a good time to try to determine if you are in the market for a pair of reading glasses of your own, and sorry to say for the sake of your vision, we hope you are so you keep on coming back!

Here are a few signs that you just might need some reading glasses, and no offense, but we hope that you do!

1. You’re squinting while reading this – Honestly, if that sounds like you, don’t even read the rest of the signs, it’s pretty clear it’s time to make the investment.

2. You’ve crossed the 40 threshold – statistics show that after 40 there’s a good chance that, if you’re not wearing glasses full-time, you’ll need to wear them on a temporary basis to read.

3. You have regular headaches - you might think that it’s just your pestering..err, lovely spouse at home that’s causing your head to throb, but it’s quite likely all the squinting you’re doing in trying to read. Okay, if might be both, but still get your eyes checked or see if reading glasses improve your vision.

4. Your arms aren’t long enough - while reading you find yourself having to put the book, newspaper, magazine, or even your computer monitor, so far from your face that you can no longer reach it. Bad news, no, your arms haven’t shrunk; you’re experiencing another physical change.

While these guidelines might be tongue-in-cheek, we do speak the truth about signs that it may be time to give reading glasses a try. Hopefully, this post gave you both a chuckle and a reality check. And hey, no judgement here, we’re getting old, too.
