At VS Eyewear, we carry numerous forms of Magnifying Products and Reading Glasses to assist with reading and provide accurate and efficient viewing. We feature a large selection of bifocal, safety and standard magnifier reading glasses in a variety of magnification strengths.
High power reading glasses are for those who may have macular degeneration, low vision, or need more magnification to help with a serious vision problem. Our selection of high power reading glasses are available in magnification levels of +4.00 to +10X. Our high power reading glasses could also be used for up close work and hobbies.
Macular degeneration is an eye condition that differs from what most people need from a pair of reading glasses. Reading glasses developed for those with macular degeneration are built with an extra lens to compensate for what a single lens cannot correct.
We've chosen to fill our inventory with high power reading glasses which can provide the right type of magnification needed to make things clearer. Our collection includes reading glass powers of +4.00 and higher. We do have a 30 day return policy to make it easier for you to test and try which of our affordable high power reading glasses is right for you. Call us today for personailzed assistance!
After trying our Blue Light filtering, glare-blocking readers, if you still experience headaches, strained eyes, and potentially even nausea, you may need a stronger or more personalized prescription. If you experience these symptoms, we suggest visiting an eye doctor for a more customized reading glasses prescription.

1. Do you ever experience headaches while reading?
2. Is it hard for you to read the fine print?
3. Do you have to hold things up close to see them?
4. Do your eyes feel tired, after reading or using a computer?
5. Are you over the age of 40?
If you are experiencing one or all of these things, reading glasses may be something to consider.
For many, having to buy your first pair of reading glasses is the first real sign of aging and results in months of denial. So, if you're starting to struggle to see up close or begin to get headaches, or experiencing eye strain when reading, don't worry; this is perfectly normal.
As you age, your eyes start to weaken, and they need a little help to do the same work that they used to do. This weakening is called presbyopia, and it affects most people once they get to around age 40.
However, if you're starting to think about reading glasses and are unsure of what strength reading glasses are right for you, don't worry. We can help. Keep reading...
The first question many ask is what do the numbers mean on reading glasses. They are "diopters," and act as a measurement of the magnification level in the lens. A lower number means less magnification, and as you go up, the magnification gets stronger and stronger. You'll typically see glasses that start with a diopter level of around +1.00 and go up to +3.00.
According to the London-based College of Optometrists, ready-made reading glasses are acceptable as a temporary or occasional substitute for prescription reading glasses. But they recommend that you have at least one prescription pair of glasses that have been fitted to your eyes.
A good rule of thumb is to use the lowest magnification with which you can comfortably see, and work upward if you need. Low strength reading glasses (+1.00 or +1.25) are enough for some people, while others sometimes need to go above a +2.00 to read words clearly on a page.
When it comes to computer glasses vs reading glasses, they are very similar. In fact, some people use reading glasses as computer glasses. The primary difference comes down to how far away the object is from your eyes.
Most people need a different level of magnification for close-up reading than for using a computer, which is usually set further back. Using the wrong pair of glasses for your situation could actually add to eye strain.
Blue light glasses are often part of this conversation because both reading glasses and computer glasses might have the blue blocker coating added as an option, if you like. However, you can also buy blue blockers that have no magnification at all. You might use these when you can see your TV or computer just fine, but simply want to reduce your blue light exposure.
Most magnifiers are bi-convex (such as handheld magnifier, loupe, pendant magnifier, pocket magnifier, keychain magnifier, etc.) or plano-convex (bar magnifieran dome magnifier). But, reading glasses are positive meniscus.

Because presbyopia is caused by age-related changes to the lens of the eye, it isn't preventable or reversible. But experts say that the right pair of reading glasses, including those readily available at retailers like a dollar store or pharmacy, can help bring small print and other objects, like your smartphone screen, back into focus.
Another thing to keep in mind is the activity you'll be using the reading glasses for. Working on the computer, for example, typically takes place at a greater distance than reading a book, and thus requires a lower strength.
The over-the-counter route isn't right for everyone, Reynolds says, including people who have astigmatism (meaning the eye's cornea or lens isn't perfectly round) and those who need a different strength for each eye. In those cases, prescription reading glasses from the eye doctor are a better option.
The most popular choice of prescription reading glasses are progressive lenses, Reynolds says. They combine multiple prescriptions in one lens, with a gradual top-to-bottom change, allowing someone to wear just one pair of glasses to correct far-away, middle-distance and up-close vision.
For people who otherwise have no vision problems, Andreoli says that reading-glass lenses that are clear (nonprescription) on top are another popular option available from the eye doctor. They can be worn continuously and eliminate the need to take your reading glasses on and off throughout the day.
As we get older, the muscles in our eyes start to take a bit longer to focus on nearby objects. This condition, known as presbyopia, is a natural part of aging and has no cure. However, reading glasses often help minimize the symptoms and relieve eye strain and headaches typically associated with this condition.
When recommending reading glasses for their patients, optometrists typically use a range based on different age groups. This range starts at +0.75 diopters (or magnification) for those ages 40 to 43. It progresses to + 2.5 for ages 58 and up.
As a word of warning, simply testing or trying on different reading strength glasses at a department store or pharmacy may not be the best way to identify the correction you need for reading vision. Your eyes tend to adjust to the power quickly, which means seeing clearly at the moment may cause eye strain if worn over prolonged periods of time. If the power is too weak or too strong for you, it is common to experience dizziness, headaches, and eye irritation.
In nearly every pharmacy and most discount stores, you can buy reading glasses off a rack. These glasses are nothing more than simple magnifying glasses in frames, and while they may improve your ability to read and see close up, there is no comparison between an off-the-rack pair of reading glasses and a pair of prescription reading glasses.
If you need reading glasses, skip buying the pair at your local store and make an appointment. We are dedicated to providing a quality experience from the appointment scheduling through the examination. Our reception and billing staff will help navigate the complexities of your insurance benefits and our optical shop can fill your prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses.
