Eventually we all need a little help with our vision. For many, vision correction is the furthest thing from their minds, until the big "four O", then we all enter a stage that eye care providers refer to as "denial".

Watch for these signs from your loved ones. If you can relate to 2 or more of the clues, you might consider tactfully leaving a pair of reading glasses next to their book or newspaper. They will thank you.

7 Signs that Your Loved One May Need Reading Glasses

1.When you ask them for the time, they take a quick look at their watch, then dodge the question by saying "it's getting late"

2.At dinner, they spend a few minutes looking at the menu, and when you ask "what looks good?" They reply with, "It all looks delicious, but let's ask what the specials are"

3.Every time they pick up reading material, they first lift their head and sit up straight, then continue to extend there arm out; just a tad...

4.They have a new found interest in rearranging the lighting around the sofa.

5.The last 3 books purchased have all been large print.

6.They burnt the microwave popcorn by hitting the "potato" button rather than the "popcorn" button. And defended themselves by saying "the buttons look the same, they should be color coded"

7.They have been telling friends they are 38 years old for the past five years.

It is important to choose the right style of reading glasses for their first pair. Remember, this could very well be the very first pair of glasses this person has ever actually needed. Start with a pair of low add readers, for example, +1.00 are the perfect starter power. You also want a frame that will compliment their style.

Readers don't have to be the kind you used to see your librarian wearing, they can be fun. Once someone accepts the fact that seeing is easier with correction, they will love you for introducing them to this whole new world of vision.
