How can I talk my mom into getting me reading glasses?

Why can't I focus underwater without swimming goggles?

1. Why we can see depends on the refraction, or bending, of light rays as they pass between substances of different densities. A lens works almost the same. However, the surface of lens is curved, bending rays at different angles so they are focused.
2. To focus images on the retina at the back of eye, the lens has two parts of inside and outside. When light passes from the air onto the cornea, the refraction take place in the water and cornea. So, when we open our eyes underwater, incoming light rays are hardly bent, or focused, at all.

At what age is it typical to need reading glasses?

people usually start need reading glasses around fortys.Some are younger, some are older. If you are only going to use your glasses "as needed" for reading, etc., then the drugstore/discount store types should be fine for you. However, if you are going to be wearing them for extended periods then it is worth it to get an eye exam and some good prescription lenses. They are expensive but worth it in my opinion. I got progressives because I was sick of taking them on and off constantly. Bifocals would work too.

Is it okay to wear reading glasses all day?

If you need to wear them for near-distance work all day, then it's ok. However, if you need to see far most of the time wearing reading glasses will make your vision blurry cuz the reading prescription is just designed for reading or computer use. Given your situation, i suggest you get your reading glasses online cuz for glasses with same quality, accuracy and fitness, the price online is 50%~90% lower than that in the drug store or in the brick-and-mortar stores. Maybe you can check out http://www.firmoo.com/reading-glasses.html where the reading glasses are priced as low as $8. Hope these will be helpful for you.

Eye exercises and computer glasses?

Surely it will be much better if you take them off the focus on a distant . but I think using them for short-time distant seeing will not affect that much .Actually ,the point of seeing far away every 15 minutes is to give your eye muscles a relax ,if you don't want to take the trouble to take them on and off ,you just need to blink your eyes several time or close your eyes for seconds .

Any tips for personal eye health?

Difference between reading glasses & glasses for farsighted people?

No. reading glasses and glasses for farsighted people are not supposed to be the same because they are used for two different conditions. However, both types of glasses are plus lenses. Reading glasses don't have enough ability to change the power of the lens inside the eye to focus on near objects, but those people have normal distance vision. They only need glasses to read , so it is normal for people who are over 40 to wear reading glasses. Farsightedness People under age 40 can change the power of their lens to clear the distance but it may cause double vision, headache and eye strain, so they usually wear their glasses full time to relieve the strain.
