• My vision is blurry after focusing close up?

  Focusing on something close for a long time will make your eye muscles contract. If you look at distance, your eye muscles need time to relax. So you will get blurry vision for a short time. Reading very close will make this problem more noticeable, so you'd better read further away at a sensible distance.

  No. If people choose the over the counter reading glasses that don't fit them well, the glasses will hurt their eyes and make their eyes even worse. In my opinion, the best way is go to your optician to have the eyes checked and get the customized reading glasses.
