I don't REQUIRE glasses to read but they do make things very much clearer (I do use prescription glasses for distance).
When reading without glasses the letters smear a little but it's not much of a problem however when I put a pair of reading glasses on things are so much clearer and I wonder if this sort of thing would help my sight reading as I notice the notes also smear at the edges. I have tried using my reading glasses but of course their use is limited to the distance at which I might read a book; not much good when I've got a kilogram of brass between me and the music I want to read clearly.
I can buy reading glasses anywhere but don't seem to be able to buy glasses that are similar but focus at just that little extra distance without buying a prescription.
Has anyone come across 'music-reading' glasses that can be bought without prescription?
