Expert: Dr Anand Shroff, MD, FICS - 10/27/2009
Question
I went to the eye doctor because sometimes I have trouble seeing far. I was told that I can see 20/20 but I was prescribed Reading glasses. She said that would reduce the strain on my eyes when reading or working and that would help me see long distance better without glasses. Does that make sense?
Answer
Hi Mike,
It would make sense if your age is above 40 years as reading glasses are related to age related changes.
However, the similar 'plus numbers' are prescribed as a full glass for some younger people (less than 40 years)working on the PC for long hours and then these work as 'computer prescription ' glasses.
Thanks,
Dr Shroff
