Can you get astigmatism later in life?
Astigmatism means that either the cornea or the lens of the eye is not shaped properly bending light as it enters and creating multiple focal points which are seen as blurriness. Astigmatism is something you're born with. Most people, many who don't wear glasses have some astigmatism, but not enough to notice or cause any problems. Astigmatism may get better or worse while our eyes are still developing usually between the ages of 8-22, but it won't develop suddenly. As we get older, our eyes start to degenerate and we need glasses for reading. A doctor prescribing glasses for reading will correct a very slight astigmatism as well; if you're wearing glasses anyway, you might as well have the best vision possible.

Do you need glasses for astigmatism?
I have the exact same prescription. The 1.25 is in my dominant eye tho so its been bugging me enough to get a pair of glasses to have for night driving and days of intense studying/reading. If you're getting headaches or squinting it may be time.
Are there glasses made for seeing computers?
There are glasses prescribed specifically for people who work on computers. The need manifests itself because the "reading" section on glasses is often too close for the computer, and the "distance" section often too far. I wear glasses with a third section between the "reading" and "distance" sections, and I call this the "computer monitor" section. I have heard this type of glasses being called "trifocals."
Where can you buy reading glasses in Johannesburg South Africa?

Unfortunately no. The only over the counter glasses you can buy are for reading. You would have to go to an optical shop or buy glasses on line for distance.
What is difference between reading glasses and distant glasses?
Distance glasses are made for people who are nearsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing DISTANT objects but can see close objects clearly ) reading glasses are for people who are farsighted ( people who have difficulty seeing CLOSE objects but can see distant objects clearly ) Distant glasses come in a MINUS prescription and usually when you wear them, they make everything look SMALLER Reading glasses come in a PLUS prescription and they make the world seem BIGGER

How do you make reading glasses?
You will have to find over the counter reading glasses that EXACTLY match your prescription. This may be easy if your prescription is only for spherical correction and is identical in both eyes. However if you have any astigmatism (cylindrical correction) or the prescription for your eyes differ, then you will have to stay with the prescription reading glasses as over the counter reading glasses are not intended to correct such problems.However even given what I said above, it still may be worth your time to get a pair of over the counter reading glasses even if you cannot exactly match the prescription as a backup pairshould something happen to your prescription ones. But make sure the spherical correction matches your prescription with no more error than half a diopter in each eye (especially if the eyes are different) and try them in the store before buying to make sure they seem OK and don't give you a headache or dizziness (if you have astigmatism).But remember that if the optometrist that wrote your reading glass prescription had felt that over the counter glasses were adequate for your needs he would have told you to just pick up a pair at the drugstore and given you a single number for the spherical correction you needed instead of spending the time to write a full optical prescription.
