Reading Glasses Age Chart: Find Your Ideal Lens Power
Is there an easy way to check what reading glasses I need for my age group?
You might be able to determine which strength of reading glasses you need by consulting a ‘power by age table’ like this:
| Age 40-44 | Recommended power +0.5 to +1.0 |
| Age 45-49 | Recommended power +1.0 to +1.5 |
| Age 50-54 | Recommended power +1.5 to +2.0 |
| Age 55-59 | Recommended power +2.0 to +2.5 |
| Age 61-65 | Recommended power +2.0 to +3.0 |
