How do I know if I need reading glasses
Reading becomes difficult, you think you need reading glasses, you just become presbyopic . Rest assured you are not alone! 1 in 4 people and in your case.
What is presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a loss of near vision from the age of 40. It appears from the age of 40. The visual organs (the lens and the ciliary muscles harden as we age and the effect of focusing on near objects is even harder.
Here's how to tell if you're presbyopic and need reading glassesYou turned 40
Presbyopia is the visual problem that appears around 40-45 years old. It evolves until 65-70 years to finally stabilize. This loss of vision evolves regularly, which is why it is necessary to see an ophthalmologist every 2 to 3 years.
Your arms are too short
At the beginning by moving your work away and with good lighting, you manage. And the more the presbyopia increases, the more you will keep your books, documents, newspapers away from your eyes... until they become too short!
You fall asleep while reading
Whether at work or at home, your eyelids become heavy, you feel like dozing off after reading or spending time on your computer. Another sign of the onset of presbyopia. Subconsciously your eyes focus on your text and all the other parts of the eye work hard to compensate and allow for sharp vision.
You often have headaches
Visual fatigue related to presbyopia can cause headaches. After a long reading or computer work, you have headaches. Do not hesitate to ask your optician or your doctor if reading glasses can relieve you
You reduce your activities closely
Seeing up close becomes complex, presbyopic people often tend to no longer practice their activities requiring good near vision. Do you read less and less, do you wear makeup less every morning than the day before, do you always order the same thing at the restaurant? so many daily signs that show us the need to wear reading glasses.
Looking for more light
Another symptom of presbyopia is the need for direct, bright light to focus closely. So if you find yourself looking for more and more light when reading, sewing, or working at other hobbies up close, it may be a sign that you need vision correction for presbyopia.
You perceive halos
Even when it is not Christmas you have the impression of seeing beautiful circles of colored light. This can be very annoying especially when driving. If your vision blurs in a way that creates a halo effect around car headlights, streetlights, or other objects, see your eye doctor.
You need reading glasses for your daily life! To simplify their maintenance, don't forget the Opticlair-Varionet disinfectant and cleaning wipes and the Varionet anti-fog microfiber glass towel , an essential accessory in this season and when wearing a mask.

Reading glasses and presbyopic glasses Varionet
Varionet Presbyopia lens technology
Varionet opticians have developed a lens that allows people presbyopia to find a clear near but also intermediate vision contrary to magnifying glasses / classic single-focal glasses found in pharmacies.
New for the summer: Polar
Varionet has received a brand new collection from the Polar brand!
What is this brand?
The Polar brand has positioned itself as one of the great references in the optical world thanks to its models that offer the customer exactly what he is looking for. Thanks to this, the brand has become world famous . The Polar brand makes glasses for men, women and children.
These are reading glasses with polarizing clips , with plastic or metal frames and classic lenses with a polarizing clip, ie anti-reflective sun protection . They are therefore both "classic" reading glasses, but also solar reading glasses or sunglasses.
What are Polar clip-on glasses?
Polar glasses are supplied with a clip , i.e. a second pair of glasses, solar and polarizing . This second pair of glasses is fixed on the "classic" glasses thanks to 2 magnets on each side of the glasses. So much so that for a single pair of glasses purchased you have the impression of having 2 ! You can choose to use classic reading glasses, or solar and polarized magnetic glasses.
What is a polarizing lens?
The principle of polarizing glasses is quite simple to understand: it is a polarizing film fixed between 2 layers of glasses. These are sunglasses with an additional filter that allows you to remove reflections due to the reverberation of the sun on the water (for fishing) or on the ground (for driving). Polarized lenses prevent glare .
The advantages of polarizing lenses
Reverberation is a phenomenon that tires the eye very quickly. Glare is made up of parasitic reflections that blur vision and force you to squint your eyes to try to see more clearly. It can be very annoying. This is the case when we are at sea (on a boat) or in the mountains (when the snow surrounds us). Wearing polarized lenses then helps to see correctly without having to make any effort ! You will have a reduction in fatigue as well as greater visual comfort .
Speaking of reflective surfaces, the road is just one place to find them! When driving, the sun's rays can reflect both on the road and on the windows of the vehicles around us. Polarizing lenses therefore help in this situation to prevent glare, which can help avoid or better manage dangerous situations . The visual comfort it brings is also an advantage for clearly perceiving all the information.
