What’s wrong with discount reading glasses? Can they cause damage to my eyes? These days you can find discount reading glasses just about anywhere, even the dollar store. While they may be an inexpensive alternative to an eye exam and prescription glasses, are they really worth it?

Though discount over the counter glasses aren’t likely to cause eye damage, they are not a good solution. From vision trouble to headaches, their overall poor quality are just not worth it.

Not Well Made

The less expensive reading glasses have shown to have poor quality control. They may have different focal points or their strength may be different, causing double or blurry vision, eye strain and headaches.

You aren’t likely to notice subtle differences in the store while you’re buying them. The only way to truly match your vision needs is with an eye exam.

Research from the University of Cincinnati discovered over 20% of the 160 pairs of ready-made readers had optical centers that were out by as much as 2mm’, which is significant enough to result in eye strain, double vision and headaches.
