Will hobby glasses damage my vision?

Options for buying ready readers, or hobby glasses are infinite, from the chemist to the petrol station, supermarket and book shop. But are these harmful for your eyes?

No. Wearing off the shelf reading glasses is not harmful for your eyes or vision.

BUT what could be harmful is skipping full eye checks. These regular eye examinations are when we identify any early signs of problems which can effect your vision long term.

It may be that ready readers are absolutely fine and a good choice to help you see clearly for reading and other close up tasks. An eye examination can confirm this. We can demonstrate a personalised prescription and compare with off the shelf reading glasses so you can judge the difference yourself.

We have a great range of I Need You reading glasses, perfect if you don’t need individualized prescription glasses, or to have a spare pair, and the quality of the lenses is ensured.

Who needs Reading Glasses?

We have two great ranges of contemporary ready-to-wear reading glasses. I Need You and The Readers. These collections meet the need for stylish, well-made reading glasses at an affordable price.

Ready readers can be used by many people who use prescription glasses. If they suit your prescription they can be comfortable for reading in bed. They're also a cost-effective temporary solution for close up vision, following cataract surgery or if you lose your progressive lens spectacles. For our travellers, ready readers are perfect for watching the screen on the plane, without risking your fancy progressive glasses, if you fall asleep!
If you’re curious whether ready reading glasses might be useful for you, come in and see our range. Or give us a call 09 425 9646 or email us at info@mcdonaldadams.co.nz.
