Question 1 of 3
Do you already have reading glasses that work for you?
What number is printed on them?
Look on the inside of an arm. It reads like +2.00.
Ours run from +1.00 to +3.00 in quarter steps.
How old are you?
What do you read most?
Your starting power
+2.00

Turn your sunglasses into readers. Look down to read the menu, look up to see the view. One drop of water holds it in place.

Most people start to need help with small print in their 40s. If close work has started to blur before then, book an eye exam first. It is quick and it checks for anything else going on.
A starting point, not an eye exam. If your sight changes, or your eyes need different powers, see an optometrist.
Power by age.
Close focus gets harder from your early 40s, so the power you need rises with age.
- 40 to 44 +1.00 Most people land between +1.00 and +1.25, typically +1.00.
- 45 to 49 +1.50 Most people land between +1.25 and +1.75, typically +1.50.
- 50 to 54 +2.00 Most people land between +1.75 and +2.25, typically +2.00.
- 55 to 59 +2.25 Most people land between +2.00 and +2.50, typically +2.25.
- 60 and over +2.50 Most people land between +2.25 and +3.00, typically +2.50.
The bar is the usual range. The dot is where most people start.
Good to know.
Half or Full?
Use the same power for both.
