Pick your strength
The whole lens is magnified, not a bifocal patch. Choose the strength on the readers you already use: +1.5, +2.0 or +2.5.
For close work
Tape measures, wire labels, layout lines, panel schedules. A full-lens reader sharpens what is at arm's length and softens what is across the room, so keep a plain pair for moving around the site.

What the trade says

The safety reading glasses are a great fit. The reading lenses are also spot on for figuring out small print dimensions on the blue print at my workplace!
The glasses are good but the frames feel a bit light. Got them for shooting my pistol but haven’t been to the range yet.
Good fit and work great for aging eyes.
Visibility is great for having what look like black frames since the frame and side guards are transparent. Ive only had them for a couple weeks but no issues with pitting or peeling on the lenses. $10 is a grate deal since they are very comfortable no squeezing the side of my head and they work well wearing ear protection over them. Outstanding value compared to comps.
