When you look at your prescription for glasses, you will see numbers listed under the headings of OS and OD. They are Latin abbreviations; OS (oculus sinister) means the left eye and OD (oculus dextrus) means the right eye. In general, the further away from zero the number on your prescription, the worse your eyesight and the more vision correction you need. A plus sign in front of the number means you are farsighted SportReaders will work for you!

The numbers represent diopters, the unit used to measure the correction, or focusing power, of the lens your eye requires.

For example, +1.00 would be a small amount of farsightedness and +2.0 would be more.  So far, we have found that most Customers are in the 1.5 to 2.5 range.

If you don’t have a prescription, just go to your local drug store or big box discount.  They usually have displays of reading glasses.  Take something like a business card with you and check out the various sizes.  Make sure you check both eyes with different sizes as with many people, each eye is different.  Mark the sizes on the back of the card so that you will remember the value, especially if yours are different.

Once you know what size each eye is you can order the appropriate SportReaders.  For example if you right eye is 2.0 and your left is 1.5, just order one pair of each and you will have two sets perfectly matched to your eyes!
