+1.50 Reading Glasses
Is there a significant difference between +1.50 readers and +1.75 readers?
When it comes to readers, strength refers to the level of magnification you need to fully focus your peepers on the page in front of you. +1.75 readers offer slightly more magnification than +1.50 readers. The difference may be slight, but your eyes will certainly notice the difference.
Is +1.50 considered a strong magnification for reading glasses?
The strongest magnification we offer for readers is +4.00, so +1.50 is still on the lower end of things. If you’re brand-new to reading glasses and things are just starting to look a little blurry, you’ll want to start at the lowest strength we offer, which is +1.00, before moving up to +1.50 or +2.00 readers. Our reader strength test can help you be 150% sure your strength is 1.50. All you need is a printer and your eyeballs, and you’re well on your way to finding readers that will make you forget you’re wearing them. Until the compliments start rolling in, of course.
Can +1.50 readers help reduce eye strain and fatigue?
If you’ve been giving yourself a headache squinting at the Shouts and Murmurs, your eyeballs are working way too hard. A pair of +1.50 readers will ensure that the funnies stay, you know, funny, rather than a grim reminder of your deteriorating eyesight. Like any good partner, the right pair of readers will make up for the qualities you lack, namely crystal-clear up-close vision. Got half a mind to tie the knot with your +1.50 readers with the quickness? We don’t blame you.
Are +1.50 reading glasses effective for all reading tasks?
Doing the crossword on your work computer while pretending your overflowing inbox doesn’t exist? Crafting the perfect text to wiggle out of weekend plans? Reading the original Italian translation of Dante’s Inferno? No matter the reading-related task required of your eyeballs, +1.50 reading glasses will help you get the job done. It’s the role they were born to play, after all.
Can I wear +1.50 readers for other close-up activities, like crafts or hobbies?
Whether you’re painstakingly papier-mache-ing your nephew’s science fair volcano, trying to decipher the grocery list your spouse scribbled down, or reading tooth-health brochures out of boredom in the dentist’s waiting room, our +1.50 reading glasses can help. We’re happy to report that they will help you do all these things and much, much more.
If I'm looking for lightweight +1.50 reading glasses, what frame types and styles are best?
If comfort is your top priority, we’re right there with you. Luckily for you, we’ve put a lot of time and effort into designing frames that are both comfortable and stylish. For lightweight frames, look for a half-rim frames (bonus: many of our half-rims also feature uber-comfy adjustable nose pads) or a metal frame. Both of these styles will feel far more barely-there than all-over acetate.
Can I find cool, unique, and interesting readers in +1.50 magnification?
We’re shocked you even have to ask. We consider all of our frames to be cool, unique, and interesting. The kicker? Any one of them can be outfitted with all-over +1.50 reader lenses. Yep, you heard that right – we’re in the business of giving you every opportunity to find frames as distinct as you are, so we’ve got reader options as far as the eye can see. Heads up for those in need of a prescription in their reading glasses as well as their reader strength: some of our half-rim readers and narrow-sized readers are not deep enough to fit a multi-focal lens, but that still leaves you with hundreds of options.
Do +1.50 readers work for reading off of digital screens?
+1.50 readers will make reading from your smartphone or computer a breeze and a half. They’ll help you with everything from online shopping to ignoring texts from your in-laws, and will ensure you look like you’re performing tasks of great importance even if you’re just browsing sales.
