Reading glasses +3.0

When you reach 60 years of age, you will typically need reading glasses with a strength of +3.0 – but remember, prescription strengths are individual. We already start experiencing in our 40s that our eyes have more difficulty focusing, which makes it hard to read small print. In professional terms, this is called presbyopia, which is age-related reduced visual acuity – also known as 'farsightedness' or 'age-related vision loss'. This happens naturally as we get older, when the eye's lens becomes less flexible and elastic. Specifically, it means that our eyes become worse at switching focus between distances with 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?

'Farsightedness', 'age-related vision loss', or presbyopia is not something you can ignore, as it won't go away – on the contrary, it will probably get 'worse'. The distance in front of the eye where you can see sharply will, for most people, increase over time, so you will typically go up in strength by +0.5 every five years. However, over the years, your vision will stabilize. Until then, we recommend that you have your vision checked annually by an optician. As a rule of thumb, you can also use our simple age-divided 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 lower one, as it can feel uncomfortable to increase strength too quickly. We also recommend that you have your vision tested annually by an optician.
