The "Power" of Reading Glasses
Understanding the basics of reading glasses will be helpful when selecting the styles you will want to offer customers. Generally people will refer to the degree of lens magnification as “Lens Strength”, or “Lens Power”; however the actual terminology for this unit of measurement is called a “Diopter”; much like an “inch” or a “foot”, the Diopter identifies the amount of magnification present in the lens.
Diopters are measured to a factor of .25 (e.g., +1.00, +1.25, etc.). Typically when you purchase wholesale readers, you will get an assortment of various diopter measurements within each set, ranging from +1.00–+3.50, or +4.00, depending on the selection.
The number value marked on the glasses is indiciative of the magnification provided. A +3.50 will greatly enlarge viewing, while +1.00 provides minimal enlargment. In this insance bigger is not necessarily better. It is imperative to retain the appropriate amount of magnification. If you opt for a higher diopter value than is needed a very unsettling "off kelter" sensations will overtake you.
