  • since you don't need glasses , you can get a pair of non prescription reading glasses with anti-glare coating . As we become more and more dependent on computers ,radiation sources are throughout every corner, from computers, printers, scanners, fax machines, etc.. Computer radiation do much harm to the eye that in the beginning of radiation our eyes cannot escape the symptoms of fatigue, inflammation, lachrymation, pricking and so forth. so it is very necessary to get yourself a pair of computer glasses .

  • First, choose a reliable online optical store. Second, choose your favorite eyeglasses frames.Third, enter your prescription. Don't forget to enter your ADD in your prescription and choose the usage of your glasses as computer glasses(intermediate).

  • if your prescription is the newest and less than half a year ,you don't need a different prescription . You feel strain when you look at the computer wearing the old glasses cuz the distance when we see the computer and far is different ,which means the focus change .so your eyes have to adjust to that distance . you can use the prescription and tell your opticians to make computer glasses for you . if your prescription changes , it is better to have an eye exam .

  • Actually all glasses are without prescription initially. The original plastic lenses on the glasses displayed at the optical store can't be used for wearing. Even if you need plano glasses the processor will install plano lenses in the frame to replace the initial plastic lenses. For this reason, you can get non prescription glasses at every store which sells designer glasses.

  • Generally speaking, you can use your old prescription at hand, but I am not sure if your ADD value is included in your old prescription. If there is ADD value, you don't need to recheck your eyes, but if you don't have ADD value, you have to check your eyes again, Because ADD means near additon which is used for making single vision reading glasses, computer glasses, bifocal & progressive eyeglasses.

  • This depends on how strong your power is. A contact lens prescription can be the same as a prescription for glasses when: - the prescription is a lower power, ie: -4.00 to +4.00 and - there is absolutely no astigmatism present. If you have any astigmatism or require a lens power greater than +/-4.00, the parameters of the contact lens can change. - if you have astigmatism under 0.50, a spherical lens should be prescribed. - astigmatism of 0.50 to 0.75 can be effectively corrected with an aspheric lens. - astigmatism greater than 1.00 should be managed with a toric lens. If your prescription power for glasses is greater than +/-4.00, you should see a difference in the power of your contact lens prescription. Generally, every time your glasses prescription increases or decreases by a power of 2, your contact lens prescription will increase by an additional power of +0.25. For every power change of 2 in a glasses prescription, the difference of +0.25 power is needed to compensate for the location of the contact lens. Your glasses are much further from the front surface of the cornea than contact lenses. Sources: http://www.contactlenses.co.uk/education/public/spectacle_vs_contact_lens_rx.htm

  • There are so many options.you can go to your nearby glasses stores to try on and see if it works well for reading.

  • Yes,of course.But may be your right eye can’t see so clearly and your vision won’t be “perfect”. But there won’t be much difference,and you will be able to get well with them.

  • I had the same problem as you.When I asked my doctor ,he said that wearing the reading glasses was not because my eyes would get weaker but because I would get used to seeing so much clearer with the reading glasses on. You’d better visit your eye doctor to give you an eye check.Then you will get your prescription.

  • When you start to have problems focusing on the near objects like reading at a comfortable distance or squint and it gets worse over time, then reading glasses are necessary for you.
