Full-Rim Prescription Reading Glasses

Refractive Errors

There are two main refractive errors that have a detrimental effect on reading from middle age onwards. Presbyopia, a loss in pliability of the eyes lens, making it difficult to focus on close objects. Astigmatism, an abnormality in the normal disc shape of the cornea and/or lens. This is an axial distortion where focusing is disrupted horizontally, vertically or obliquely.

Ready Made Readers

Ready made reading glasses have a corrective lens component for presbyopia but not for astigmatism.

Prescription Readers

Prescription reading glasses have corrective lens components for both presbyopia and astigmatism. If your astigmatism is low level, then ready made glasses will suffice. But if the level of astigmatism exceeds a certain point, then you will need prescription reading glasses.

Optics Technician

The prescription readers here are made in exact conformance with your optical prescription. The glasses are manufactured by a technician with over 50 years in the optics business. This ensures that reading clarity is restored and fatigued eyes and soreness is alleviated.

Lenses

We use plastic lenses of standard refractive index. Lenses of higher index can be obtained on request.

Tinted Lenses

Also provided are prescription reading sunglasses with lens of four tint strengths in grey or brown.

Frames

Frames are selected so that they can be adapted for the most comfortable fit. This is acheived by spring hinged arms and adjustable nose-pads. Other selection criterion include design strength, a wide variation of styles and colours and general quality of build and appearance.
