Reading glasses will never damage your eyes, they can only enhance them. Therefore, if you are struggling to read the daily newspaper or your phone, you might need to invest in a pair of reading glasses. Most people encounter some changes in their vision as they get older. When you notice that you are holding things further away, focus your eyes on a nearby object. The benefit of having reading glasses is like a magnifying glass they are zooming in and making the fine print large and therefore easier to see.
