Contrary to popular belief, reading glasses don't simply "magnify" text. They work by correcting your diopter to bring close-range objects into clear focus.
Diopter range: Typically from +0.75 to +4.00. The wrong strength can cause discomfort:
oo strong: Requires holding reading material uncomfortably close (<14 inches)
Too weak: Forces you to hold materials too far away (>18 inches)
Technical explanation: Each diopter has an optimal "clear focus range":
| Diopter | Clear Focus Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| +0.75 to +1.00 | 22-28 inches | Computer work |
| +1.25 to +1.50 | 18-22 inches | Tablet reading |
| +1.75 to +2.50 | 14-18 inches | Book reading |
| +3.00 and above | 10-14 inches | Fine detail work |
