Some people seem to think that by wearing reading glasses their eyesight will get worse. So, they start out with a +1.00 or +1.50 power and all of a sudden (so they think) your pair of reading glasses don’t work as well as they should. Then you go out and get a stronger pair of glasses. Well, that happens but it is not because the readers made your vision deteriorate. The fact that your eyesight is getting worse is honestly just a part of the natural aging process. After the age of 40 this process starts to occur fairly quick. At this age things begin to blur when you try and read them close up and small print becomes harder to read.
So for the record, reading glasses do not hurt you eyes. In fact, a good pair of reading eyeglasses just bends light so that images focus properly on the back of your eye. This bent light serves only to magnify what you are seeing. The elastic crystalline lens in your eye that manages focusing adjusts its shape, which allows you to change your range of focus for near or far objects. The elasticity of the lens starts to thicken as we age and doesn’t allow as much movement of the lens which in turn causes things to look blurry. Our lens continues to grow throughout our life and that is why we have to go from one power reading glasses to another. This may take a few years but continues to thicken and grow over time and we will have to keep upgrading our reading glasses to keep up.
Reading glasses do not have to be boring though and some people actually look better wearing them than not. Designer reading glasses can be added and changed just like other accessories such as handbags and shoes. You can have more than one pair to go with your wardrobe and your mood. Also, you can get a pair of reading sunglasses for looking good outdoors. You can also get designer Mystic, Boardwalk or Luc, Scojo reading sunglasses.
