|    How do reading glasses work? Do they mag    |

      From: Optical@Guy.com              I was having this argument at work.              Some claim that reading glasses work because they magnify small print.       They claim that reading glasses sold at drug stores are labelled in       terms of their "magnification power" or strength.              I was arguing that the goal of reading glasses is not to magnify, but to       move the focal point, and that they don't really perform any       magnification.              Who's right?              Do many people use the term "magnification" incorrectly when talking       about reading glasses?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
