It is time you turn for some help for your eyes by opting for a pair of single-vision reading glasses when you have trouble deciphering what your menu card says.

Typically, once you cross 40, it is not uncommon for your vision to blur at near.

The fastest remedy for this is to get a pair of such glasses for yourself.

There are basically two types;

The first, where the full lens is made out in your reading prescription, are called full frames.

So if your work requires you to spend a lot of time looking up close, these ones are ideal for you.

But if you try looking up and away, everything around will appear blurred.

The second type is the smaller 'franklin' glasses.

These glasses sit real low on your nose and have a half-eye lens, which is made in your reading prescription.

The advantage of these half lens is that the glasses don't hinder your distance vision, for you can look up and over them, while just by looking down through the glasses, work with near material becomes easy.

The difference between the two is, the readymade pairs are one size only i.e. a universal fit.

So the prescriptions is the same in both lenses and also the optical centers are the same in all pairs.

What happens, therefore, is that if both your eyes have vastly different prescriptions, you might face trouble while wearing such reading glasses.

Nausea, headaches and tearing are a few effects of wearing reading glasses that don't adhere to your prescription. The over-the-counter pairs are available in a huge variety of designs, colors and styles and are much cheaper than custom-made pairs.

So if you want to experiment with your look and prefer to have more than a few to match your mood, then these are ideal.

On the other hand, custom-made ones offer you the best possible eye-care, considering they're made you to specifically fit you and your eyes.

While buying ready reading glasses, check your lenses for any defects like bubbles, cracks etc.

For temporary use there are loads of options like magnifying glasses, prescription lenses mounted in tiny holders, lorgnettes etc.

So the next time you head to a dimly lit pub, just grab one of these fashionable reading glasses and reveal your stylish side!
