Yes. In fact my eye doctor recommended I get them over the counter to save money. I need 1.25 strength. When you go to the store there is usually a chart with words written on it and when you can see the words clearly the prescription level you need is written next to it. As long as you are wearing them for reading, not driving,etc, they will be safe for your eyes. If you get the lenses to strong, you may end up dizzy or with a headache.
Best wishes!

Answer 3

if it doesn't hurt your eyes. just like looking though prescribed glasses that either too strong or weak for you would be bad.
