Reading glasses, also known as presbyopia glasses, are a type of optical glasses specifically designed to correct presbyopia. Their lenses are typically convex and function like a magnifying glass, compensating for the eye’s decreased ability to accommodate, helping the wearer see close objects such as mobile phones and books more clearly.
Middle-aged and elderly people primarily require reading glasses. Typically, starting around the age of 40-45, as the lens gradually hardens and loses its elasticity, the ciliary muscle’s ability to accommodate changes in vision decreases, leading to blurred vision and fatigue when viewing close objects. This is known as presbyopia. Therefore, any middle-aged or elderly person experiencing this problem may be a potential user of reading glasses.
Reader made of different materials each have their own advantages. The current mainstream options include:
Glass lenses: These are durable but heavy and fragile, and are gradually fading from the market.
Resin lenses: These are the most common choice. They are lightweight, resistant to shattering, offer excellent light transmittance, provide effective UV protection, and are comfortable and safe to wear.
PC lenses, also known as “space lenses,” are 10 times more impact-resistant than resin lenses and are extremely tough, making them ideal for athletes or those working in jobs prone to collisions.
Finding the right reading glasses requires a scientific approach:
First, it’s recommended to have a professional eye exam. Even if your prescription is known, check your pupil distance and astigmatism to ensure the accuracy of your reading data. Second, choose based on your intended use. If your prescription is consistent and you have no astigmatism, you can purchase ready-made reading glasses. If you have astigmatism or a significant difference in prescription between your two eyes, custom glasses are necessary. Finally, a thorough fitting experience is crucial. Ensure the frames fit snugly and don’t slip, and provide clear, long-lasting, and comfortable viewing of close objects.
If you want to sell your own brand of reading glasses, consider the following:
Quality is key: Ensure the lenses have excellent optical performance and are distortion-free, and the frame material is safe, lightweight, and durable.
Clearly define your target customer: Are they the general public seeking value for money, or are they the fashionable, middle-aged and older adult who value design and branding?
Professional fitting services: We provide professional pupil distance measurement and trial fitting services. Even for finished glasses, we guide customers in making the right purchase. This is key to building trust.
Fashionable designs: We break the stereotype of “reading glasses = old-fashioned” and introduce more fashionable styles, making them trendy and versatile accessories.
In short, a pair of suitable reading glasses is more than just a tool; it’s a companion that enhances your quality of life.
