As a late 40-something I've recently had to start using readers. I went to the optometrist and got a £70 pair which I broke within the first 6 months. After one or two more pairs I thought - fuck this and just ordered a cheap pack of 5 readers at the right strength for a tenner off Amazon. For 2 quid a pair, I treat these now as disposables and I've never looked back. I use the microfibre cloth + breath method to clean them and this works well. But having 10 pairs of specs lying around at work, in the car, at home, etc was the best call I ever made. Granted my prescription is standard - if I had astigmatism or similar it might be different, but for those who just need readers this is a no brainer.
