The inability to clearly see near objects is called hyperopia and is generally caused by refractory error of the eye's lens. Reading glasses change the angle at which light enters the lens, compensating for the refractory error and allowing light to focus appropriately on the macula.

Why would you need night vision glasses?

The pupil dilates in low light conditions to allow more light onto the retina. This will, in many people, result in more near-sighted vision at night than during the day. If you normally do not wear glasses or have progressed to the point of needing bifocal, trifocal, or progressive lenses (presbyopia) you may need a different prescription to fully correct your vision in low-light environments.


Why do old people's reading glasses look blurry?

Glasses are optics which are designed specifically for the owner. They correct the focal length of the light projected on the retina on the back wall of the eyeball. If your eyeball is not the same shape of depth as the person who owns the glasses then the image seen through them will appear to be out of focus to you. It is not wise to use anothers glasses since the muscles in your eye will attempt to correct the image and may strain them in doing so.


How do glasses reflect light?

Glasses reflect light because of their smooth and polished surfaces. When light hits the surface of the glasses, it bounces off in a predictable way, creating a reflection. This reflection allows us to see objects clearly through the glasses.

What happen to light ray that travel parallel to the optical axis as they pass through a convex len?

The rays are diffracted toward the center of the lens. This is the principal used in reading and magnifying glasses.
