No. It is an indicative guide for trying ready-made readers, and it has not been clinically validated. A comprehensive eye exam can assess the strength and correction you need.
Lettering must have a consistent physical size. Phones, monitor sizes and browser zoom change the scale. Print the PDF at 100% and verify its 1-inch line before reading.
Do not assume you need the highest power. Consult an eye-care professional, especially if one eye sees differently, you already use prescription lenses, or reading remains uncomfortable.
The PDF is sized for US Letter. If your printer supports A4, keep the setting at 100% / Actual size and check that the entire page prints without clipping. The calibration line must still measure 1 inch (25.4 mm).
The chart includes thirteen guide values, but available powers depend on the product. Check the actual options on the product page before you order.
