Here's something I bet you didn't know: There is a certain percentage of adults aged say 50+ who are kind of accidentally farsighted by some exact amount that can be bought in over-the-counter reading glasses. +2.00 diopters, for example. So for them, +2.00 makes their DISTANCE vision clearer. Some of these people stumble upon using "cheaters" that are intended for NEAR vision (reading) and use them to make them see better FAR AWAY. That is all fine and good and accidental, except that some of them hilariously then assume that EVERYONE who wears glasses would see better far away with over-the-counter reading glasses, and that consequently ALL optometrists are shysters and con-men/women who sell glasses at exorbitant prices when in (their) reality a $7 pair of cheaters would work for everyone. This happens!
