Is it bad for your eyes to wear "over the counter" reading glasses?
Non prescription reading glasses are made with the same power in both lenses. They are suitable for people whose eyes have the same power in both eyes. However, most people have different unique prescription. Some people will even have sore eyes and dizziness when they wear non prescription reading glasses for a long time.

What can reading letters in an eye test tell?
The doctor can determine if you are short sighted by asking you to read the certain row on the letter chart.
