What do you call the glasses wore by near-sighted people?

What do you call the glasses wore by elderly people and the ones by short-sighted, what is reading glass?

  • Answer:

    Do you mean bifocals or trifocals which are worn by older people to compensate for needing to see far (nearsightedness) and having a problem reading. Reading glasses only work for reading and close work like embroidery or scrapbooking. You can't read signs, clocks across the room, etc.
