Why
some people refer to reading glasses
as cheater glasses.
You
may have heard refereces to cheaters
or cheater glasses. As far as we've been
able to determine, the terms were likely developed
by optometrists or opticians who have a financial
interest in selling customers costly prescription
eyeglasses. They meant the term to be derogatory
— perhaps to suggest the user was cheating
him or herself out of proper optical correction.
The
terms caught on and are now considered affectionate
references to what opthamologists (or Eye MDs)
often recommend to their patients who need a
little extra magnification to see clearly up-close:
cheater glasses.
Cheaters,
cheater glasses, or cheater readers are ready
made magnifying eyeglasses representing today's
definitive statement of style. Cheater glasses
have evolved into more than an aid to clearer
vision. They're an important element of fashion.
