Reading glasses

[£440,000]

Been finding it increasingly difficult to read stuff like instructions on food packaging and medicine for the last couple of years. Have to hold things away from my face and squint. It's worse if the light is bad. I've got a magnifying glass in the kitchen at home that I use to help.

 

Now I can't comfortably read one of the books I brought on holiday with me cos the print is too small. I'm not about to read a book with a magnifying glass, so think I'm going to have to take the plunge and buy reading glasses.

 

Do I need to go to an optician's or will I be all right with a cheap pair from a chemist's? Is it important to get the right strength or does it not matter cos they're going to get progressively worse anyway?

 

I suppose it's one of the joys of being closer to fifty than forty.
