While age can give you a general idea of what your reading glasses might need, everyone's eyes are a little different. To get the perfect fit for your vision, nothing beats a comprehensive eye exam!

But if you don’t have a prescription yet, here’s a rough guide based on age:

• 40-44: +0.75 to +1.00 diopters

• 45-49: +1.00 to +1.50 diopters

• 50-54: +1.50 to +2.00 diopters

• 55-59: +2.00 to +2.25 diopters

• 60+: +2.25 diopters or more, depending on your unique needs.

It’s like a fun little age-based guide to give you an idea—but remember, your eyes are as unique as you are!
