Reading glasses make close text clear for people whose near vision has weakened with age. This is called presbyopia and usually starts after about 40. If you hold your phone further away to read it, you probably need them.

Frequently asked questions
What power reading glasses do I need?
Many people start around +1.00 in their early 40s and need more over time. The safest way is an eye test, because the two eyes can need different power.
Can I wear reading glasses all the time?
No. Reading glasses blur things far away. Wear them for close work, or choose progressive lenses if you need both.
