If you’re experiencing vision troubles for the first time, or you’ve simply never worn reading glasses before, you may be wondering: “What Strength of Reading Glasses Do I Need?”

Reading Glasses come in a range of strengths and are measured in diopters. You can think of the dipotre as the level of magnification, with +1.0 being a mild magnification, and +3.50 being stronger. Our range of Reading Glasses is available in a range of strengths - from +1.0 for minor assistance to +3.5 for people who need more help from their eyewear. We also offer multi-focal and progressive lenses for all-day wear.

To figure out What Strength of Reading Glasses You Need, you can use our reading chart. If two strengths seem similar, it’s generally best to choose the lower strength to reduce the eye strain.
