reading glasses
Lenses for text
Reading glasses are eyeglasses designed to correct close-up vision, typically needed as people age and lose the ability to focus on nearby objects.
Unlike prescription glasses for distance, reading glasses are often bought over the counter in standard magnification strengths: I keep a pair of reading glasses by the bed for nighttime reading.
