Well, I was thinking I'd cheat Pearle Vision and buy OTC reading glasses.
Finally I located OTC readers with the required +2.50 correction. To my
surprise, they were totally useless. I tried strengths above and below, but
nothing worked.

So what gives? My guess is there's more to correcting vision than the +
rating. What would that be? The OTC glasses had rather small lenses to keep
down costs, I suppose. Would that play a role?
