Hi, wanna ask about those low power (100-150) reading glasses. Currently I'm using those from Daiso for reading small prints documents.

Just wondering if those cheap glasses with frame under promotions by shops (RM48/68/88 etc.) will provide a better and more comfortable glasses than those from Daiso? Or any specific type of lens that I need to consider for reading glasses?

Thanks

Those Daiso ones are really meant to be temporary solution eg you are traveling, then forgot to bring your reading glasses

The ones from optician (even cheap ones) will definitely be much better, as they are customised for your face / eyesight

try this

If you have presbyopia, go did a custom made for your eye.

Those Daiso ones are made for temporary uses.

i use those on promotion, works well.

it's cheaper due to cheaper frame, and plastic lens...

overall no problem.

get yourself a pair before it gets worse.

get custom made. Sungei Wang 150rm can get

one time NBTD I go check out those cheap reading glasses.... even the least powerful one cannot pakai yet.

stick to magnifying glass or take photo and zoom if need to see small item clearly

Thanks for all the replies. Will go and get a cheap custom made one to see the differences.

haha ya i got this credit card size magnifying card in my wallet for use during emergency

thanks, this one seems like adjustable type? have you tried this vs those custom made form shops?

Get glass ones. They're extremely hard to find nowadays. They're SUPER DUPER CLEAR. Only 2-3 local sellers and 1 Indon seller. The plastic frames from local sellers are SOLID. The Indon seller's frame is not so solid but confirmed real glass too.

From shop, change once a year, company pay.

Custom made better. Each eye usually different power & astig

Daiso (or those ready made one) both eyes same power & no astig. So not balanced & not visual comfortable if prolong use.

been using their zoom series for couple of yrs purposely for diy projects. there're clarity and augment series as well. all are adjustable. some are multi focus.
nvr used custom glasses before coz just need to use it for working n reading for short period of time. no need to spend too much on glasses

This.

If power is big enough difference between eyes, 1 eye has to strain harder if wearing same power for both. Might have issues in the long run.

My dad bought a pair from Daiso...very uncomfy to read. Went to Focus Point, got eyes tested and made a decent pair, glass not plastic lenses...very comfy reading now.

is there a major difference using glass vs plastic?

there are several.

google glass vs plastic lenses.

You can test in shop to feel if it works. Not finding the best, but if it works then just for around RM20 can buy 1.
