While your eyes likely have two different prescriptions, over-the-counter or reading glasses online offer the same prescription in both eyes. This means it is up to you to determine your own eye correction needs when it comes to your cheap reading glasses.
With the SmartBuy Collection, you can get a more accurate prescription to add to your favorite frames. However, this does require a trip to your optometrist. Commonly known as “cheaters”, reading glasses cut out the middleman and allow you quicker access to vision correction. That’s where the SmartBuy Readers Collection comes in. However, note that over-the-counter or reading glasses online are only for minor corrections when it comes to reading small print and shouldn’t be used to replace your every-day prescription glasses.
Presbyopia (long-sightedness) differs in severity for everyone and as a result, lenses are available for several levels of magnification. Most people fall between +1.00 and +3.00 but even within this range, choosing the wrong magnification level might result in blurred vision and may feel uncomfortable for your eyes.
Therefore, it is important that you choose the appropriate lens type when purchasing your reading glasses online or over-the-counter.
Lens Types
For prescription reading glasses, you can get multifocal or progressive lenses as opposed to the typical single vision cheap reading glasses. If you think you need reading glasses that offer different “ADD powers” in each eye, then you should consider going to your optometrist. They might suggest you look into the following lens types when you go to buy your prescription reading glasses online.
- Multifocals: While single-vision lenses will improve your presbyopia symptoms, for those who have more complex vision problems, you may need to consider other types of advanced lenses.
- Progressive Lenses: Progressive lenses feature a gradient of increasing lens power which the eye naturally adjusts to, meaning that you can seamlessly transition between different prescriptions. This is great if you want just one pair of cheap reading glasses to fix your presbyopia, nearsightedness, farsightedness, or any other visual problems.
