How do you make reading glasses?
You will have to find over the counter reading glasses that EXACTLY match your prescription. This may be easy if your prescription is only for spherical correction and is identical in both eyes. However if you have any astigmatism (cylindrical correction) or the prescription for your eyes differ, then you will have to stay with the prescription reading glasses as over the counter reading glasses are not intended to correct such problems.However even given what I said above, it still may be worth your time to get a pair of over the counter reading glasses even if you cannot exactly match the prescription as a backup pairshould something happen to your prescription ones. But make sure the spherical correction matches your prescription with no more error than half a diopter in each eye (especially if the eyes are different) and try them in the store before buying to make sure they seem OK and don't give you a headache or dizziness (if you have astigmatism).But remember that if the optometrist that wrote your reading glass prescription had felt that over the counter glasses were adequate for your needs he would have told you to just pick up a pair at the drugstore and given you a single number for the spherical correction you needed instead of spending the time to write a full optical prescription.
