Reading Glasses For The Smallest Budget

Hey, things are tough. Everyone is looking to save a few dollars any way they can. Buying cheap reading glasses may be the first step in reading better.

We’re all clipping coupons and looking for the best price we can find, but should you skimp on something like reading glasses? That depends on your particular eye problem. If you do not need glasses otherwise, it’s probably OK to try some inexpensive readers. Keep in mind that it you have headaches, nausea, or eyestrain, a trip to your eye doctor is warranted. There are many places to find cheap reading glasses.

The first one that comes to mind is the dollar store. The selection varies from one store to another and it may be limited, but they’re only a buck. If you are constantly misplacing, dropping, or otherwise destroying your reading glasses, you can afford several pair. Don’t be fooled into thinking that if they came from the dollar store, they are junk. While this may be true of some, take a minute to look through them. Some dollar stores get their merchandise buying closeouts from other stores, so it is possible to find name brands. I have several pair around the house. I found some Foster Grant reading glasses for a dollar. They were the right strength for me so I bought a few for myself and for my husband. He keeps a pair in the bathroom so he can read the paper every morning.

Drug stores and discount stores often have reading glasses. They are usually less than twenty dollars. I saw a three pack at Sam’s Club for $9.99 and they were not bad looking.

The Christmas Tree Shop is another place to find some pretty trendy folding and slim line reading glasses for about $3.99. My mom and I picked out some in fancy metal cases in all kinds of patterns for her girlfriends. They were all delighted to get them.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind when choosing cheap reading glasses. Look at them carefully. If there are bubbles or ripples in the glass, choose another pair. I have seen some plastic ones. These are just about disposable. They scratch very easily and while they are lightweight and comfortable, they seem to distort the print more than glass lenses. You also need to realize that over the counter reading glasses have the same prescription for each eye. If it says 1.50 strength, it is the same in both lenses. Some people may need a different strength for each eye. If you do not have any major eye problems or you just use them as an accessory, get some cheap reading glasses. You can find them in a lot of stores or online.
