If you want eyeglasses that will make your eyes look larger, then +lenses are what you are looking for. The lenses will make near objects appear larger as well, but could make distance objects blurry if they are not actually needed. Reading glasses use + lenses and you can get them almost anywhere.



Errr... many people are confused with magnification versus clarification.

Prescription glasses only CLARIFY... they may magnify, but only a little bit (actually the magnification can be argued as perception as your brain got used to your eyes' refractive error).

If you want glasses to magnify.. as in make objects appear 'a lot' bigger... then these lenses are REALLY EXPENSIVE.... and usually only optical labs that deal with Medical instruments/telescopic instruments make these.



You can if that is the prescription the doctor gives you. Or you can buy reading glasses without a prescription at any drugstore.
