I use +4.0 reading glasses, but it's a problem. A hint at the size is the size of the eye, which is bigger with a bigger needle. An alternative is to always take the needle out and put it back in the appropriate, marked packet. Bit of extra effort, but you'd always know the needle size when you go to use it. I just whip out the 4.0s and read the size if it's not obvious. Problem is that you can't tell what tip it has without a microscope: Is it stretch or universal?
