Find Your Reading Strength
Not sure which magnification power is right for you? We have made it simple. Use our quick age guide or print our vision test chart to find your perfect fit at home.
Option 1
The Quick Age & Symptom Guide
As we age, the natural lenses in our eyes gradually lose flexibility, making it harder to focus on close-up text. This is a completely normal condition called presbyopia. If you have never worn reading glasses before, the chart below is a reliable starting point.
| Your Age | What You Are Experiencing | Recommended Power |
|---|---|---|
| Under 45 | You are just starting to hold menus or your phone slightly further away to read clearly. | +1.50 |
| 45 to 50 | You need brighter light to read fine print, and holding things further away is not helping as much. | +2.00 |
| 50 to 55 | Fine print is consistently blurry. You frequently squint when reading ingredient labels or receipts. | +2.50 |
| Over 55 | You rely on reading glasses for almost all close-up tasks and need stronger magnification for clarity. | +3.00 |
Note: This guide is a general starting point. If you have had a recent eye exam, always follow your optometrist's recommendation. When in doubt, start with a lower power — you can always size up.
