If it messes up the eyes of those who do not need it, why should it be different to those who use them because they need it.

Of course it will do no good to your eyes if you don't need them . You could get a headache and feel blurry with them. Reading glasses are usually used by people who are over 40 may with presbyopia and can't focus on things close up with clarity and ease. The magnification allows wearers to read and focus on items that are out of focus,thus it can make a difference between people who need it and those not .

There are a lot of factors that determine potential harm from wearing reading glasses you don't need or do not match your eyes. Some individuals that wear non-prescribe Creaders often do so using the wrong power. If too much power is used, and used often, it can decrease the person's natural power to focus. At the Dr Lee Eye Center we have many individuals (typically the 44 y/o male) who has worn Cdime-store readers that were too strong and now their eyes focus like a 60 y/o.
