As we get older, many of us require the use of eyeglasses to see objects more clearly. An eye doctor may inform you that you do not need much assistance when it comes to eyeglasses after your annual exam. In this instance, consider the purchase of a pair of drugstore eyeglasses. This enables you to save money, if you know how to select a pair that enables you to see well.
Instructions
1 Travel to a drugstore in your area that sells eyeglasses. Take some type of reading material from the magazine rack that contains words with small letters so you can test various eyeglasses.
2 Place eyeglasses on your face that state +.75. Then, put the magazine you just obtained in the position you normally use to read literature. If you have a hard time seeing the words, increase the power of the lenses to level one or +1.00. Continue to increase the power of the lenses you use until you reach a level that feels good on your eyes and does not cause you to strain in any way.
3 Find a style of frame that you like. Experiment with various styles as you look in the mirror. Select a frame that fits well, looks nice and contains the proper strength for your eyes.
