Reading half glasses
I just had my 2nd cataract surgery and need reading glasses.
Bought a pair from Publix but they are full glasses so when I look up I can’t see anything. I am looking for the little half readers before I can get prescription ones. Was not eligible for multi vision lenses. Does anyone know if they still sell these and, if so, where? Thanks!!

You can order them on Amazon which is what I did. Did your ophthalmologist recommend a magnifying factor?

I thought I saw these at one of the local drug stores when I was looking for clip on sunglasses.

Are these glasses half empty or half full?

Some of us are blessed with noses big enough to perch normal readers far enough down to see over them. :-)

I will probably be getting the same surgery with distance only lenses. You said you will be getting prescription glasses. Will they be clear on the top and your reading prescription on the bottom? If I get distance only lenses for my surgery do you have to keep putting glasses on and off if you are watching TV and want to check your phone or read etc? Can anyone that has had those kind of lenses put in after cataract surgery tell me how you like them and can you see the dashboard when you are driving?

I too had cataract and lens replacement surgery, completed in April. I had worn glasses since the 3rd grade.
A few things to remember about those replacement lenses. I got the deluxe lenses for near, mid-range, and far. Extremely happy. Still need help, though, in low light conditions. Bright lighting helps a lot for close up work. At 1 month after surgery was completed for both eyes, I was given a corrected vision for close-up. +0.25. At the 4 month follow-up, it was changed to +1.0. I keep a pair of the latter around if conditions warrant it. Yes, your eyes will change as the eyes heal for a few months. In addition to those Dollar Store and Amazon options, a good optical shop (Sam's, Costco, or even the shop your opthalmologist/optometrist might have). Also check out Zenni on the internet for low cost options. Finally, it will take several weeks until you finally realize there aren't any glasses you need to take off before your nap or going to sleep at night.
