It is a common misconception that reading glasses are worn only by grannies, fuddy-duddies and people who work in the research section of public libraries - this image ends today!
Why is it that reading glasses are associated with grannies, knitted jumpers and shy librarians? Has film, television and media really created this image? Or is this something that we have concluded from real life experience? Reading glasses are now extremely cool and the image of grannies and dentures are no long applicable.
People often associate long sightedness and reading glasses with the older generation. It is not untrue that long sightedness is common in old age, but most people in the UK don’t realise that they actually need reading glasses too.
Reading Glasses for Old People?
Surprisingly, long sightedness is something that is very common in young children. Very often their eyesight is expected to improve as they grow up and over time they may not need reading glasses any longer. This form of long sightedness is medically known as Hyperopia or Hypermetropia. Although these technical names are not necessarily important when you are going for an eye test, it can help us to differentiate from the other form of long sightedness related to the elderly.
Long sightedness diagnosed in old people is medically known as Presbyopia and although this is common in old age, there is a distinct difference between age related long sightedness and Hyperopia or Hypermetropia. Some young children could require reading glasses or reading aids if they are at the age where they are learning to read, as research shows that infants and young children are often long sighted.
