Reading glasses

Reading glasses are one of the most common ways of improving near vision. As our vision deteriorates with age, it will eventually become a real effort to make out small letters and numbers. Even people who don’t yet have any need for glasses notice this change in their vision over the course of their lives – it usually happens between the ages of 40 and 45.

Presbyopia causes us to feel tired when we read without glasses, and makes it impossible to do so as time goes on. This is completely natural: as time goes by, the eye’s lens loses its elasticity, making it increasingly difficult for our eyes to adjust to different distances. Nearby objects appear more and more blurred, and reading becomes a real effort.

In this case, reading glasses featuring ZEISS lenses can help you relax with a good book once more: our single vision lenses have been optimised for near vision and adjusted to the wearer’s needs. The lenses are great for reading small font, e.g. on a smartphone, laptop or tablet.

To help you see clearly when reading, we’ll tailor your new reading glasses to your visual needs and reading habits at the ZEISS VISION CENTER Tallinn. We take your prescription, your anatomy and your personal reading distance into account.

This uncompromising precision ensures the best possible visual error correction and excellent wearer tolerance with rapid adaptation. Even for wearers with a high prescription and additional visual defects (such as astigmatism or heterophoria), ZEISS reading glasses can be tailored to their eyes, thus eliminating irritating blurs and distortions at the edges.

The benefits are clear vision and the ability to read without seeing blurred letters, leaving you with razor-sharp vision and able to enjoy reading– just like before!

Do you read a lot at work, maybe on a computer screen? Regular reading glasses aren’t usually optimised for near vision: generally, we hold a book more close up than we’d read the text on a screen. Using your reading glasses to see the text on a screen promotes an unnatural posture while sitting, potentially causing muscle tension in your neck, shoulders and back, as well as headaches.  

Office lenses are better as they’re adapted to your visual requirements at work, which takes the pressure off your eyes during the day. Talk to us today – your ZEISS VISION CENTER Tallinn will be happy to help!
