A member asked:
Are there any non-prescription spectacles to see an object in long distance?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A few places on the internet sell minus power lenses to help with long distance. It is difficult to select the correct power therefore a refraction with your eye doctor may be the best bet. Over powered lenses can contribute to eyestrain and headache.

Possibly: If you are farsighted, sometimes the drugstore glasses that people use for reading can help your distance vision. If you are nearsighted they will just make it worse.
