=In the News:= "Studies have consistently reported that women require reading glasses or __#|bifocal lenses__ earlier than men. According to a recent //Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science //paper, the gender difference is caused by factors other than focusing ability, such as arm length or preferred reading distance, which should be considered when prescribing readers or bifocals." [|Is Arm Length the Reason Women Need Reading Glasses Sooner Than Men?]
