Reading-glass power labels should be large, consistent, visible from normal browsing distance, and repeated wherever the customer makes a selection. The goal is to let shoppers find a power without asking staff or moving several frames first.
Use one labeling system
Keep the same format for every power: same placement, typography, notation, and sequence. Avoid mixing +2.00, 2X, and other inconsistent descriptions on the same display.
Put the label where the decision happens
- on the fixture position
- on product packaging or hangtags when applicable
- on a simple power guide near the display
Make the sequence intuitive
Arrange powers in a predictable ascending or descending order and keep misplaced frames corrected. Customers should be able to scan the display rather than search randomly.
Do not overexplain
Power labels should help navigation, not provide diagnosis or clinical advice. Keep the display focused on self-service product selection.
Over-the-counter readers are not a substitute for professional eye care or prescribed lenses.
