A member asked:
My eye doctor told me to try getting otc reading glasses. can people wear them all the time?

Maybe: If you are farsighted, an otc reading glass may clear your distance vision . This is rare, however, sine=ce very few people meet the appropriate criteria. A custom distance prescription would be the best.

Not all the time: You would use them for reading only, not driving, watching tv or anything else.
