Lens Options For Reading Glasses

A range of lens options are available for reading glasses. Men's reading glasses, women's reading glasses, cheap reading glasses and prescription glasses for reading.

If you only need glasses for reading and not for seeing far away, you will need single-vision reading glasses. Varifocal glasses are good if you need glasses for seeing things far away and up close. They correct both types of vision in one pair. Ultimately, the type of reading glasses you choose will depend on your lifestyle and prescription requirements.

FAQ's


What are reading glasses?
Up
Glasses for reading correct your vision if you suffer from farsightedness (hyperopia) where objects close to you are blurry. Glasses for reading can be:
Single-vision lenses with your reading prescription only
Varifocal lenses that include your distance, intermediate and near prescriptions
Bifocal lenses that include your distance and near prescriptions

How to read a glasses prescriptions?
Up
Understanding your prescription can be confusing. We suggest to always send us your prescription so we can make the right reading glasses for you.

Why are varifocal glasses so difficult to get used to?
Up
Progressive glasses or varifocal glasses may take time to adjust to. Different viewing points exist within the lens for distance, intermediate, and reading. Finding the correct area of the lens to look through for each focal point can take time for your eyes and brain to adjust to. Adjusting to your varifocal lenses will provide you with helpful tips.

Do I need glasses for reading?
Up
This will depend if you suffer from nearsightedness or Farsightedness. Farsightedness (hyperopia) is where you clearly see objects in the distance but nearby objects are blurry. If you suffer from Farsightedness you may benefit from prescription reading glasses.

What strength glasses do I need for reading?
Up
The number on your prescription measured in dioptre will be the strength of the reading glasses that you require. The higher the number the stronger the power of the lens.

Where to buy glasses for reading?
Up
You can buy reading glasses online from Direct Sight. We are one of the leading suppliers of reading glasses UK. We sell high quality reading glasses at affordable prices, from cheap reading glasses to designer reading glasses. We make all our prescription glasses bespoke to your eye test prescription, including your pupillary distance.

At Direct Sight you will find frames available in a range of shapes from, cat eye to wayfarer all customisatble to your lens strength. With thousands of frames to choose from you will find a pair of glasses to suit your face shape and personal style.

Is it bad to wear distance glasses for reading?
Up
Wearing distance glasses won't hurt your eyes or affect your ability to see things nearby. These glasses only aid in improving your vision for objects that are far away.

Can you wear reading glasses all the time?
Up
Wearing reading spectacles only when working at arms length is advisable, but wearing them all the time won't hurt your eyes. Using glasses for activities that need a wide view, like driving, can cause symptoms like eye strain or headaches.

Are ready readers as good as prescription glasses?
Up
We only sell bespoke-made glasses for reading, perfectly tailored to your prescription requirements. Off the shelf ready readers will not have your correct pupillary distance. They also wont include any astigmatism or possible difference in power between your right eye and your left eye.

What are the highest power reading prescriptions available?
Up
The highest reading glasses range prescription available at Direct Sight is +8.00. Please note that some frame styles may not accommodate high power prescriptions.
