And what are the symptoms? What were the first signs you needed reading glasses and at what age?

[Gem Village]

Most people start to need reading glasses when they are over 40. Some people may need them at 45. Generally speaking, when people find difficult doing near work, like reading, sewing and threading a needle, they may need reading glasses to help them see better. The symptoms might be blurry vision when reading. Some people may get headaches and eye strain when doing close work.

My father started using reading glasses a few years ago (about 45). He could not see the small texts on newspaper . It is also impossible to thread a needle. And he often get frequent headaches, eyestrain or eye fatigue while reading.
