Let me guess. You are a man in your fifties or sixties. You used to have perfect vision. Now you find yourself holding the menu at arm’s length. You borrow your wife’s reading glasses when you cannot find your own. You have bought a few cheap pairs from the drugstore, but you are not really sure if they are right for you.
You are not alone. Every man goes through this. The good news is that finding a good pair of reading glasses at your age does not have to be complicated or expensive. You just need to know a few things.
You finally gave in and bought a pair of reading glasses. Maybe two or three pairs. They sit on your desk, in your bag, next to your bed. You put them on when the text gets blurry. Problem solved, right?
Not always. A lot of people in middle age wear their reading glasses every day, but they wear them the wrong way. And then they wonder why their eyes still feel tired or why they get headaches in the afternoon.
Let me walk you through a few things you might be getting wrong, without turning this into a boring manual.
