Reading glasses +2.5

When you turn 55, you will typically need reading glasses with a strength of +2.5 – but remember that spectacle strengths are individual. We already start to notice in our 40s that our eyes have more difficulty focusing, which makes it hard for us to read small print. In technical terms, this is called presbyopia, which is age-related diminished vision – also known as 'old-age sight' or 'age-related vision'. It happens naturally as we get older, when the eye's lens becomes less flexible and elastic. Specifically, this means that our eyes become less able to change focus between distances as we age. Reading glasses work by compensating for the eye lens's lack of elasticity, thereby restoring your sharp vision. It's a good idea to quickly get a pair of OjeOje reading glasses to avoid symptoms like headaches, tired eyes, and muscle tension.

How often does your vision change?

'Old-age sight', 'age-related vision', or presbyopia is not something you can ignore, as it will not go away – on the contrary, it will probably get 'worse'. For most people, the distance in front of the eye where you can see sharply will increase over time, so you will typically go up in strength by +0.5 every five years. However, your vision will stabilize over the years. Until then, we recommend that you have your eyes checked by an optician every year. As a rule of thumb, you can also use our simple age-based strength guide:

35-40 years: +0.5
40-45 years: +1.0
45-50 years: +1.5
50-55 years: +2.0
55-60 years: +2.5
60-65 years: +3.0

– if you are in doubt and wavering between two strengths, we always recommend choosing the lowest, as it can feel uncomfortable to go up in strength too quickly. We also recommend that you have your eyes tested by an optician every year.
