Over-the-counter reading glasses

[moochops]

Hi, My prescription lenses are Reading Addition +1.75 If I wanted to buy a pair of reading glasses from the chemist, what number/strength would I go for?

Prescriptions for reading glasses increase by 0.25 diopters, such as +1.00, +1.25, +1.50, and so on. However, for simplicity, some diopter charts may increase by 0.50 or by the whole number. Start by trying on reading glasses in the power that your test results yielded. If you’re trying on glasses at a retailer, you’ll want to test out several pairs that are both weaker and stronger than your test results. Narrow it down to two magnifications — both of which you see well with — and always choose the lower of the two powers.

Oops no idea why some of the text was crossed out it wasn't deliberate!

Thank you

I'm 1.75 too.

Have you tried amazon instead of over the counter? If you search " reading glasses 1.75" a reasonable choice of 1.75 will come up.
