Varifocal lenses – values?

Hello! I had a pair of progressive lenses made a while ago, and I'm getting along pretty well with them (sometimes I think my reading glasses could be a bit stronger). Now I want to get a pair of "pure" reading glasses made for music, but I don't know what prescription I should use.

right 0.25 -0.75 175° 2.25

left 1.50 -0.50 45° 2.25

Maybe you can help me – thanks

Hello, Alexikus.

You write

sometimes I think the reading glasses should be a bit stronger

The most reasonable thing is, you let go of the glasses again at the optician – with a new vision test, exactly at the distance you need to play.

Take a good look at the distance from your seat or standing place to the music stand and the musical instrument where you might need to see the strings, handles, buttons. The optician will then make the right glasses for this special distance.

Otherwise, as pure reading glasses, you need ->

R sph +2.5 cyl. -0.75 A 175°

L sph +3.75 cyl. -0.5 A 45°

However, as you say that the reading distance could be a bit stronger, I recommend a new visual test with the optician.

A nice Sunday for you.

I can tell you from my own experience. I sit at the KLavier, at the organ and play brass instruments. All instruments in which the distance from the eyes to the notes is partly different, but above all the notes are further away than a book. DAs means the strength of the reading part in the eyeglasses will be too strong for a musical goggle.

Am I right in the assumption that you’re so plus-minus 50? I’m thinking about the addition 2,25. What instrument(s) are you playing?

right 2,5 -0,75 175°
left 3,75 -0,50 45°
This is the strength of your reading part in the eyeglasses.
Maybe a musical goggle for you with
right 1.5 -0,75 175°
left 2,75 -0.5 45°
be the ideal.

The most sensible thing would be to take notes and grades to an optics shop and let you measure the right strength there for your distance grade/eye.
That’s what I did as an optician. I put notes and stands in the store anyway. Maybe there’s a colleague like this in your area.
I only know this from the Filialists that they do not make such elaborate fractions at all or only very unfamiliar.
A lot of success.

P.S. Making music and sitting in front of the monitor are similar distances.

But of course, Filialists also make fractions for special distances, such as reading notes!

Well, all that costs time is not liked to see, finally time/money has to be saved for the zero-rate series.
