What are OTC reading glasses?

Over‑the‑counter (OTC) reading glasses are FDA‑regulated, non‑prescription glasses designed for presbyopia (age‑related near‑vision loss). They have a plus sphere magnification to help focus on close work but no cylinder correction for astigmatism. They don’t require a doctor’s prescription, making them an easy and affordable solution for reading.

What is a Sphere in a glasses prescription?

Sphere (SPH) measures the lens’s power in diopters (D). A positive sphere indicates magnifying lenses for farsightedness or presbyopia. Reading glasses typically use a positive sphere to help you focus on close objects.

What is a Cylinder in a glasses prescription?

Cylinder (CYL) measures the lens power needed to correct astigmatism, an irregularity in the cornea that causes blurred vision. OTC reading glasses do not include cylinder correction; if you have significant astigmatism you should get custom prescription lenses.

Why do OTC reading glasses only have a plus sphere and no cylinder correction?

OTC reading glasses focus on near‑vision magnification and are mass‑produced for affordability. Leaving out cylinder correction simplifies manufacturing and lets the glasses be sold without a prescription. People with significant astigmatism need custom prescription glasses.

What strengths do OTC reading glasses come in?

They are commonly available in magnifications from +1.00 D to +3.50 D, usually in increments of 0.25 D or 0.50 D. Always choose the lowest strength that allows you to read comfortably.

What are bifocal reading glasses?

Bifocal reading glasses have two optical powers. The upper portion is clear or very low power, allowing distance or intermediate vision; the lower segment provides magnification for reading. These OTC lenses are available in standard strengths and a variety of frame styles.

What are progressive reading glasses?

Progressive reading glasses provide a gradual increase in magnification from top to bottom without visible lens lines. They allow distance viewing at the top and stronger reading power at the bottom, making them comfortable for reading, computer work and interacting at different distances.

What’s the difference between reading glasses, magnifying glasses and prescription reading glasses?

Reading glasses provide magnification (usually +0.50 D to +6.00 D) to help focus on close work; they focus your eyes but don’t enlarge objects. Magnifying glasses (loupes) enlarge small objects like insects and details; the level of magnification depends on the lens power and distance. Prescription reading glasses correct your refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism) and then add magnification for near vision; these must be prescribed by an eye‑care professional.

Are OTC reading glasses a replacement for a prescription?

No. They are intended for temporary near‑vision tasks and do not replace regular eye exams or customized prescriptions. Annual check‑ups are important to monitor eye health.

Do OTC readers correct astigmatism?

No. OTC reading glasses only provide spherical magnification and cannot correct astigmatism. Prescription lenses are required to correct both sphere and cylinder.

How do I figure out what reading power (strength) I need?

You can use our printable diopter chart to match your reading strength up to +3.25. Hold the chart about 14 inches from your eyes and read the smallest line you can see clearly; the diopter printed on that line is your recommended strength. For powers above +3.25 or if you have vision concerns, consult your eye doctor.

How can I choose frames that suit my face shape?

Selecting the right frame can flatter your features. For a round face, choose angular frames like rectangular, square or cat‑eye shapes and avoid small round frames. For a square face, round or oval frames soften sharp angles; cat‑eye styles add elegance. An oval face is balanced, so most shapes work: rectangular, square, round, oval or cat‑eye. For a heart‑shaped face, choose round, oval, cat‑eye or half‑moon/low‑nose frames; avoid heavy rectangulars. For a diamond face, pick round, oval and cat‑eye frames to broaden the forehead and chin and soften cheekbones. For an oblong/rectangle face, choose square or tall rectangular frames to add width and depth; cat‑eye styles add height and lift.

What is the return policy?
