Yes!
I have prescription glasses for general use that correct mild
astigmatism and allow me to do most things (including reading the
newspaper etc.) without problems.
However +4 or even +5 'reading glasses' are very useful for me when
doing things like soldering and other close D-I-Y type things.
Reading glasses are **very** cheap, between £1 and £5 hereabouts so I
have pairs scattered all over the place.
(Oh, I'm approaching 80, so well above "50 years old")
