Prismatic Reading Glasses
Enhanced Vision for Close-Up Tasks
Prismatic reading glasses are designed to provide magnification and reduce eye strain during close-up activities. Ideal for tasks that require a working distance of 4 to 10 inches, these glasses incorporate prisms to alleviate the stress of converging both eyes, making reading and detailed work more comfortable.
How Do Prismatic Reading Glasses Work?
Prismatic lenses include a base-in prism that helps to align the eyes when focusing on close objects. By easing the convergence effort, prismatic reading glasses reduce eye fatigue and improve visual clarity for tasks like:
Reading Books and Newspapers: Magnifying small print for better visibility.
Writing: Enhancing clarity when working on detailed writing tasks.
Crafting and Hobbies: Providing magnification for intricate work such as knitting or model-building.
Customization and Options
Prismatic reading glasses are available in full-frame or half-eye designs and can incorporate the patient’s regular eyeglass prescription. This allows for optimal customization based on the specific visual needs and desired working distance.
Are Prismatic Reading Glasses Right for You?
Prismatic reading glasses are ideal for individuals experiencing difficulty with close-up tasks due to low vision. A low vision evaluation with Dr. Lindell will determine if prismatic lenses are the best option for your specific needs.
