Prescription mishaps are more common when buying your glasses online than from an optical store. The quality of glasses purchased online may also be an issue. You can't tell how sturdy they are until they come in the mail. Often, the low price may be the result of poor materials.

Correction options include progressive lenses (or bifocals or trifocals), multifocal lenses, vision surgery and readers. For many people, basic reading glasses are inexpensive, widely available and can be purchased over the counter, without a prescription.

For the vast majority of people, over-the-counter (OTC) readers should not be a problem as long as they match the power of the prescription. For instance, if your doctor recommends +2.00 in each eye, then purchasing OTC readers of the same power should generally suffice.

GlassesUSA is our pick for the best overall reading glasses you can buy online, thanks to its well-rounded inventory, fair policies and great customer reviews. GlassesUSA was also one of CNET's picks for the best online glasses and best prescription sunglasses.

The lowest-strength reading glasses have powers of +0.25 diopters, whereas high-strength ones can go well beyond +2.50 diopters - in rare cases, all the way up to +4.00. When you need reading glasses beyond +2.75 diopters or so, you may have to get them custom ordered.

A pair of glasses can range anywhere from $10 for readers to several thousand dollars depending on the brand and prescription lenses. But average prescription eyewear costs between $200 and $300 in today's market. Without insurance to cover the cost, you will need to search for the best price.

Because of this, glasses prices for corrective eyewear can cost anywhere from $50 to $1,000 or more. On average, prescription glasses cost around $200, though insurance can determine the final price. Depending on your coverage, each glasses component (frames, lenses, additional treatments) carries its separate cost.

The primary difference is in the quality of the materials. More expensive reading glasses will be made with better, higher quality materials. The lenses may be scratch resistant and fit the frame better. They may be made out of thinner and lighter materials.

between +0.75 and +2.50 diopters What's the average strength of reading glasses? Most people use reading glasses between +0.75 and +2.50 diopters in strength, but the power of your reading glasses will necessarily increase as you get older. Therefore, there's no one “average” power that most readers hover around.

Reading glass power is measured in units called diopters. The lowest strength is usually 1.00 diopters. Glasses go up in strength by factors of . 25 (1.50, 1.75, 2.00).

X High power reading glasses are for those who may have macular degeneration, low vision, or need more magnification to help with a serious vision problem.
