I just got some new eyeglasses from my brick & mortar eyeglass store. Fortunately, most of the bill was covered by my insurance. Unfortunately, I can only get one pair per year. My prescription changed, so I need new sunglasses and the optometrist suggested that I consider reading glasses (presbyopia is finally catching up with me). I'm going to order sunglasses using the prescription that the DO gave me (without any hassle at all!), but I'm not sure if it has sufficient information for me to order reading glasses.
I should probably explain that I'm nearsighted and I don't wear my glasses all the time. I don't need them for most things like conversations, watching TV (if I'm not too far from the set) and even for most reading, except for really small print. I wear a pair of straight prescription lenses for driving, watching movies, being outside, etc. So how do I order reading glasses that I intend to only use when I need to read small print and not wear all the time? I don't need to pay for bifocals or progressives, because the upper focus would be useless. All that the prescription card has on it are SPH, CYL, AXIS and PD for each eye. No separate number for near or far. I do have the separate PD numbers for near and distance. Is that enough to get glasses that will only be used as readers? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Check us out at the oft-updated http://www.glassyeyes.com!
