Prescription glasses, on the other hand, do require a prescription — do the math. Those who are nearsighted and/or require multiple types of vision correction will definitely need to schedule an appointment with an optometrist. Often, when someone uses the term "prescription reading glasses," they're referring to progressive glasses that accommodate both your reading strength and distance prescriptions within the lenses. These types of glasses are ideal for those with astigmatism, or for the vast majority of people who can't keep track of more than one pair of frames, if at all.
Do you need a prescription for glasses in addition to your reader?
Wondering which of our frames can be purchased without a prescription? Wonder no more. As we've already established, our traditional full-lens readers only require you to be aware of your reader strength. Our blue light glasses and sunglasses are also available for purchase without a prescription. Of course, if you aspire to be a glasses wearer but are cursed with having perfect vision, you can purchase any of our frames without any corrective measures. Other lens types are expected to require a prescription.
