Are all reading glasses of high quality?
There is no general answer to this question. When it comes to the quality of reading glasses, there are various factors to consider. Basically, a distinction is made between ready-made reading glasses and custom-made glasses from an optician. Ready-made reading glasses, such as those available in our store, are particularly suitable for simple presbyopia. If you choose the right dioptre power, this type of reading glasses is inexpensive and ideal for everyday wear. Custom-made reading glasses from an optician come into play especially when the diopter numbers per eye differ greatly from one another. These glasses also take into account other factors such as interpupillary distance, the height at which the lens is inserted and the pupillary distance. However, this alone says nothing about whether they are high-quality reading glasses. This depends very much on the optician’s advice and which materials etc. you choose for your glasses. you choose for your glasses.

Are ready-made reading glasses sufficient?
First of all, you should ask yourself how often you will be using your reading glasses and for what purpose you need them. Ready-made reading glasses are usually very suitable for short, everyday reading sessions.
Nowadays, ready-made reading glasses are also of high quality, deliver what they promise and are available for little money.
However, if you need your reading glasses all day long, if you have power deviations between the left and right diopter numbers or if you have other eye diseases, individually fitted reading glasses from an optician are definitely recommended.
