Presbyopia Guide: How to choose the right diopters

Do you feel like the text on your phone has been getting suspiciously smaller lately? Do you struggle to read the restaurant menu unless you hold it further away? If you are over 40 and find yourself holding screens at a distance to focus, welcome to the world of presbyopia. It is an entirely natural development of vision, but luckily it is solved easily, quickly, and affordably with the right ready-to-wear reading glasses.

🔍 How to figure out which diopter you need (+1.00 to +3.00)

If you don't have any other complex eye issues (such as astigmatism) and simply want to read up close comfortably, choosing the diopter for ready-made glasses follows a general rule based on age:

Age 40 - 45 years: +1.00
Age 45 - 50 years: +1.50
Age 50 - 55 years: +2.00
Age 55 - 60 years: +2.50
Age 60+ years: +3.00

✨ The "Golden" Reading Test

Want to confirm it in practice? Hold your phone or a page at a normal reading distance (about 35 to 40 centimeters from your eyes). If the characters become crystal clear with a specific diopter and you don't need to squint or move your hands, then you have found the perfect balance.
