Our +0.50 reading glasses are designed for customers who need just a small amount of magnification for reading, computer work, menus, labels, paperwork, and everyday close-up tasks. This light power is often helpful for people who are beginning to notice mild near-vision changes but do not need stronger readers yet.
At American Reading Glasses, we carry a wide range of reading glasses strengths, including low power readers that can be difficult to find in many stores.
If you are unsure whether +0.50 is the right strength, use our Reading Glasses Strength Chart. You may also compare +0.75 reading glasses and +1.00 reading glasses.
