At first, the topic of reading glasses can seem very confusing, as you feel like you can get them on every corner. Unsure, you reach for reading glasses at the supermarket checkout, only to end up not being certain if it was the right choice. In our article, you will learn everything you need to know about high-quality reading glasses.
#Kurzgesagt:
Generally, a distinction is made between ready-made reading glasses and individually crafted reading glasses
Individually crafted reading glasses are generally better, especially if the required strengths for each eye differ from each other
High prices do not automatically mean that the reading glasses are of higher quality. It depends on the materials used in the glasses.
You can get high-quality ready-made reading glasses in our LESEBRILLE.DE store starting from about 15 euros
There are also reading glasses with integrated UV light or blue light protection

Are All Reading Glasses High-Quality?
This cannot be answered in general. When it comes to the quality of reading glasses, various factors need to be considered. Basically, a distinction is made between ready-made reading glasses and individually crafted glasses from an optician. For simple age-related farsightedness, ready-made reading glasses, like those found in our store, are particularly suitable. If you choose the right diopter strength, this type of reading glasses is affordable and ideal for everyday use. Individually crafted reading glasses from an optician come into play especially when the diopter numbers differ greatly between eyes. These glasses also take into account other factors such as eye distance, grinding height, and pupillary distance. However, this alone does not indicate whether it is a high-quality reading glass. This largely depends on the optician’s consultation and which materials, etc., you choose for your glasses.

Is a Ready-Made Reading Glass Sufficient?
First, you should ask yourself how often the reading glasses will be used and for what purpose you need them. For everyday, short reading sessions, ready-made reading glasses are usually very suitable.
Nowadays, even ready-made reading glasses are of high quality, deliver what they promise, and are available for little money.
However, if you need your reading glasses throughout the day, have strong differences between the left and right diopter numbers, or have other eye conditions, an individually adjusted reading glass from an optician is definitely recommended.

How Much Does a High-Quality Reading Glass Cost?
Unfortunately, this cannot be answered so easily, as it always depends entirely on your own preferences and for what purpose you want to use the reading glasses. The choice of materials used also plays a big role here.
You can get high-quality ready-made reading glasses in our store starting from about 15 euros
An individually crafted reading glass can cost between 50 and 70 euros. This varies depending on the optician and adjustments made to the glasses. If you buy a branded glasses model, the price for the reading glasses can be higher.
You can find a good reading glass for yourself in just a few steps. You just need to be clear about a few factors:
Do You Know Your Current Vision Strength?
First, it’s important to find out what strength of glasses you need and if there are significant differences per eye. This determines whether you need ready-made reading glasses or individual reading glasses. With our diopter calculator for reading glasses, you can easily calculate the required reading strength yourself.
What Design Do You Want?
You can choose between full or half-frame glasses, a round or square frame, a bold or neutral color. There are many different options and you can choose according to your preferences. Feel free to get inspired by our store.
For what purpose will you be using the glasses?
Depending on whether you wear the glasses all day or just for short reading sessions, a different type of reading glasses may prove beneficial. Additionally, depending on your usage needs and how often you use reading glasses outside the home, it may be worthwhile to acquire special reading glasses accessories.
Should your glasses offer any other protection?
For example, protection against sunlight or blue light. There are also reading glasses with integrated UV light and blue light protection. This way, you can improve your vision strength and protect your eyes from additional harmful influences with a single pair of reading glasses.
How much are you willing to spend on your reading glasses?
The budget for reading glasses also plays a role. Do you want to use ready-made reading glasses or invest in individually adjusted glasses, e.g., progressive lenses?
The costs for high-quality reading glasses vary. Your decision on which reading glasses to choose should depend on individual factors. For a quick glance at the receipt while shopping, a budget-friendly pair of reading glasses can certainly be an alternative to individually adjusted reading glasses.
In summary, one can say: High costs do not always mean high quality. Reading glasses at a lower price can also achieve excellent performance.
