Hello,
I am 49 yr old female. Just had routine eye exame and was advised some improvement in one eye for distance but need more power in both eyes for reading. The change for reading is from 1.50 to 2.00. The optometry recommends new lenses (and frames). I have no coverage. Is a change of +0.50 for reading significant enough in your estimation to spend the money for new glasses lenses?
thank you

Allison,
Yes +0.50 is a significant change for reading, and one I always recommend be updated. It is very normal at your age for the eyes to change every 1 to 2 years.
