1. How do I know if I need readers?
As time marches on, our once-trusty eyes start to play tricks on us. Around the age of 40, many eyeballs decide it’s time for a subtle rebellion, and stop focusing on things up-close. You can blame the deterioration of your near vision on presbyopia, an age-induced reduction in your eyes’ natural powers of up-close-and-personal sight. Fear not! Embrace the journey, because the quest for reading glasses that will keep you focused and fabulous is way more exciting than squinting through your denial.

3. Does eye strain cause headaches?

4. Why can't I see well in dim light?
Blame it on the passing years – yes, dim light is simply not as easy as it used to be. It’s only natural, but before you go suspecting a universal conspiracy to dim all of the lights, focus on something closer to home. Embrace your aging eyes by putting on a pair of remarkable readers, because when it comes to dim light, they’re your best friend.
5. Why are there halos around lights?
5. Why are there halos around lights?
There are certainly aspects of aging that feel heavenly, but the halos of light you’ve started seeing around headlights and street lamps aren’t among them. As you get older, your eyes can struggle with focusing light, resulting in a halo effect. As ethereal as that may sound, it’s more annoying than it is angelic. A new pair of reading glasses can help you say goodbye to those halos for good.
