Signs You May Need Reading Glasses
If you find it increasingly difficult to focus on close objects, like reading small print or doing detailed tasks, it might be time to consider reading glasses. Common symptoms include frequent eye strain or headaches, especially after long reading or working up close periods. Another sign is holding reading materials farther away from your eyes in an attempt to see them more clearly.
Who Typically Needs Reading Glasses
Reading glasses are commonly needed by those over the age of 40, as age-related changes in vision (presbyopia) become more noticeable. Additionally, certain occupations or hobbies that involve detailed, close-up work can also increase the likelihood of needing reading glasses for women and men, regardless of age. If these signs sound familiar, it may be time to consult an eye care professional.
