By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent test by Hong Kong's Consumer Council found that over half of the 17 ready-to-wear reading glasses examined failed to provide crucial labeling information. Specifically, most models did not list the pupillary distance, a key measurement for aligning lenses to ensure clear vision and prevent eye strain. While the glasses generally performed well in terms of physical durability and safety, the lack of proper labeling under European standards makes it difficult for consumers to select suitable products.
