What does 0.75 reading glasses mean in terms of magnifcation?
Simply put, it means you'll want your reading material about 1.33 meters away from your eyes. The letters will look about as large as they always do at a distance of 1.33 meters, but with the glasses on you'll be able to focus on your reading material comfortably.If you'd rather have your book or screen 1 meter away, use +1 diopter lenses; half a meter away, use +2 diopter lenses; 0.33 meters away, use +3 diopter lenses and so on. The closer you put the reading material, the larger it appears (just like always). Of course your mileage may vary, so use these numbers as a starting point to see what works for you.The general idea is that those of us with so-called "normal" vision (or vision that's been corrected to normal with glasses or contact lenses) are focused on objects a long way away when our eyes are relaxed. By using reading glasses and putting our reading material one focal length in front of the glasses, we make the reading material appear to be a long way away, without changing it's apparent size. The focal length of the lenses in meters is 1 divided by the power in diopters. One might say the purpose of reading glasses isn't to magnify, it's to be able to focus comfortably.Sometimes optics like magnifying glasses and telescope eyepieces are spec'ed in terms of magnifying power. Magnifying power can be calculated as the power of the lens in diopters, divided by 4. The idea here is that someone decided 250 mm is a reasonable value for the closest "normal" people can focus, so they use 4 diopters for the baseline to compare against when considering the apparent size of objects viewed through a magnifying lens.

Reading Glasses - Function Meets Fashion?
Mention reading glasses and most people think stuffy. Think again! Today's reading glasses are a fashion accessory and top designers are in on the trend. Adventurous, classic, or casual, whatever your style, there are frames to suit you. Look for a stylish frame that suits your face shape. Rounder faces look great in angular or cat-eye styles. Rimless glasses suit heart and triangle-shaped faces. Oval faces can wear almost any frames, providing they equally balance the top and bottom of the face. While a beautiful pair of reading glasses helps you see better, they help you look better too.
What demographic is more likely to need reading glasses?

Reading Glasses: Affordable and Widely Available?
People who are farsighted can easily obtain a pair of reading glasses without any hassles and restrictions. Nearsighted people need an official prescription from an eye doctor in order to buy a pair of corrective eyeglasses. Such glasses are usually only sold at optical shops. By contrast, reading glasses are widely available at drug, department, and supermarket stores. These glasses are labeled with a corrective power, which a person must find out from their eye doctor. Best of all, reading glasses start at a price of only a few dollars. By comparison, the lens of nearsighted eyeglasses can cost over one hundred dollars.
Celebrities who need reading glasses?

Are there glasses made for seeing computers?
There are glasses prescribed specifically for people who work on computers. The need manifests itself because the "reading" section on glasses is often too close for the computer, and the "distance" section often too far. I wear glasses with a third section between the "reading" and "distance" sections, and I call this the "computer monitor" section. I have heard this type of glasses being called "trifocals."
Why wear eye glasses invented?

Does Obama wear glasses?

How to Get Affordable Reading Glasses?
It is very frustrating not being able to properly read the small text on your medicines, newspapers, ingredients, nutrition labels, etc., no matter how hard you squint. Actually, as people get older, the vision becomes weaker, making it harder to read small text. Paying for prescription glasses can be a little expensive. Aside from that, some people have various problems with their prescription glasses, while some are just not comfortable wearing those glasses. For those people who just need glasses so that they can read small text, there are methods on how to get affordable reading glasses. • Have your eyes checked by a doctor. The ophthalmologist is the eye specialist who would give you a prescription for your eyeglasses. If you had a recent eye exam, you can also use the prescription that was given to you so that you won’t need to go to your doctor again. • Go to a local eyeglasses store. Once you already have your prescription, you can try looking for reading glasses that match your prescription. Be sure to take note of the manufacturer and the style number. • Go to discount shops. Reading glasses in discount shops are much cheaper than those in eyeglasses stores. Since you have the list of the reading glasses that matched your prescription, you can try looking for that at discount shops. • Visit internet shops. Aside from discount shops, you can also look for online shops that sell reading glasses for less. If you found an exact match of the reading glasses that you need, you can purchase them through the internet shop; however, you’d be able to save more if you can find a discount coupon for that shop as well. If you are not using your reading glasses that often, keep them in a safe place. Have a case for your glasses to ensure that they won’t be broken. If you have old reading glasses and your prescription has changed, you can just have the lenses changed. This is much cheaper than buying new reading glasses.
