Reading glasses

A pair of glasses is a visual aid which consists of a frame / frame and two individual glasses. With the help of glasses respectively Reading glasses a certain ametropia such as farsightedness, nearsightedness or asthma can be corrected in a simple way.

What are reading glasses?

In addition to the balancing functions, an optimal Reading glasses must fulfill other important properties. It must always sit well and not slip constantly.

Reading glasses should also be very stable and, especially with children (children's glasses / sports glasses), should be able to withstand sporting activities. The fashion aspect also plays a serious role. Reading glasses are not only a necessity in order to see the entire environment in sharp focus, but are also a trendy accessory that reflect a certain aesthetic and stylishly underline the character of the owner.

Depending on how the visual defects appear, they are compensated for with different types of reading glasses. If someone is far-sighted, short-sighted or short-sighted, long-distance glasses are fitted. The glasses are equipped with a converging lens for farsightedness, a diverging lens for nearsightedness and a cylindrical bevel is used for astrophotography.

Shapes, types & types

The ability to accommodate is reduced and people talk about presbyopia or presbyopia. This is a creeping process that initially goes unnoticed. At some point, however, reading becomes exhausting because the eye muscles are always extremely tense.

Fortunately, this presbyopia can be avoided by means of the Reading glasses be balanced. We are talking about "single vision glasses", which are only designed for a certain distance, which is normally about 30 centimeters. Reading glasses are only required for reading. As a result, two different frame types were favored:

On the one hand the "half glasses", in which the upper half of the glasses is cut off, so to speak. This model can be worn permanently as it does not distort the view straight ahead. On the other hand, the "full glasses", which usually have to be taken off completely if they are no longer needed for reading. Since they are therefore often misplaced or lost, users wear this type of reading glasses on a glasses strap, which is worn in trendy designs similar to a fashionable chain.

Structure, function & mode of operation

The shape of the Reading glasses can vary greatly in the shape and material of the lenses and the frame / frame. It is also individually adapted and based as much as possible on the wishes of the user.

The glasses are also shaped in such a way that the visual defects or ametropia are optimally compensated. The ametropia include farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism with the so-called astigmatism and presbyopia. Most ametropia are caused by certain deviations in length and shape of the respective eye.

With farsightedness, the person concerned sees the near area out of focus, with nearsightedness the distant objects are out of focus and with corneal curvature the objects are always seen as rod-shaped and out of focus. Presbyopia is a separate form of farsightedness, within which the lens of the eye becomes more and more inflexible, so that accommodation (focus setting) is no longer possible for the near area. Reading glasses are ideal for these poor eyesight.
