Myopia is a condition where the eye is unable to adjust its focus accurately beyond a certain distance. If you have myopia then you usually do not need glasses in order to see things clearly close up. Wearing reading glasses of the type sold at the pharmacy without a prescription will probably not make the text you are seeing clearer. In fact when you look through them distant objects will be blurrier; and if your degree of myopia is high enough, or the reading glasses strong enough, you will not be able to read through them, either! However, if your degree of myopia is low, then reading glasses may help you by preventing an increase of blur for distant objects after reading. This increase in blur is called "nearwork induced transient myopia" and is caused by prolonged focusing at a very near distance. Essentially your eyes get "stuck" focusing for the near point and distant objects appear more blurred than normal for a period of time. Reading glasses allow your eyes to focus as if for further away during the time you are reading. For this reason they may allow you to read longer without strain, because closer focusing requires more energy, and more contraction of the focusing muscles. Whether using reading glasses will improve your distant vision is a complex issue and a subject of debate among optometrists. Some argue that nearwork-induced transient myopia is a precursor to an increase in myopia. If this is true, then using reading glasses may prevent further deterioration of distant vision. Others say that in placebo-controlled clinical studies with special glasses with a "reading" section at the bottom and a "distance" section at the top (bifocals or progressive lenses), such glasses have had no effect on the progression of myopia. Still others argue that reading glasses must be used aggressively and consciously used in order to have any positive effect on vision.
