You can find reading glasses in many public places, like post offices and police stations. Most places just have a single degree of strengths, but here, I saw three: strong for 60 year olds, weak for 40s, and somewhere in between for 50s.
According to my mother, who is already old enough to need reading glasses (sorry mom), following are the motivations to use them:
- Within your hub. These places are typically placed near your homes, you do not bring all your belongings with you.
- Only for a short while. You need reading glasses to quickly fill some forms, quickly borrowing them is handier than bringing a pair of your own.
- Tedious to take out. Even if you had one with you, it is tedious to take one out, especially if your hands are full.
Once you hear why, it totally makes sense. I wonder, is this the solution taking place in other countries as well?
