Can I just buy over the counter reading glasses instead of filling my glasses rx?

S.Ing. asked:
I just got a prescription for glasses- Dr said that I should use them anytime I am reading, on the computer, watching tv etc. My rx is +1.25 in both eyes and astigmatism in my right eye only -50. Would I be able to buy over the counter reading glasses and get the same results?

For close up stuff like reading and computer.

Yes, if your reading add is +1.25 you can save a lot of money by purchasing reading glasses in that power, vision wouldn’t be absolutely “perfect”, but you will be able to get along quite well with inexpensive “readers”.

Yes, but your right eye may not be as clear. A -0.50 cylinder is not a strong astigmatism correction, but like I said your right eye may be off a little.

The 125 diopters and it is cheaper when you wanted to see at distance infinity far sighted that much 125 diopters and youd ad 100 or 225 so youll still have normal camera normal camera normal camera you dont have to add 125 diopters and you need to the distance.
For pairs.
