How to Choose Reading Glasses

Most of us will, at some point, need to invest in at least one pair of reading glasses, but if you’re new to readers you’re probably wondering which ones to pick, what strength is right for you, what goes into a pair, etc. Here we run you through everything you need to know when choosing a pair of reading glasses so that you can buy only the best quality with your hard-earned money. 

Why Are Reading Glasses So Popular?

Reading glasses lenses are non-prescription and work for almost everyone to make it easier to read by magnifying the text on the book or menu you are reading. By making the words larger your eyes can focus more quickly on the text . This reduces eye strain while allowing you to hold your book or favorite magazine at a normal distance from your body.

Every pair of reading glasses in our designer collection is available in a wide range of magnification powers, so you can choose exactly the strength you need without requiring custom prescription frames.

Picking out your first pair of reading glasses involves finding something that feels comfortable and looks great. We have a variety of styles so you can find the reader that fit with your personal style and look right on your face with a variety of colors so you can even order multiple pairs to fit your mood. As one of the world’s leaders in lightweight reading glasses online we’ve got style covered. Keep reading and learn about our frame styles to determine what style frames might work best for you.

Full Frame Reading Glasses

Full frame reading glasses make up the least of our selection of our stylish reading glasses as they ad considerable weight to the frame and bulk to the appearance, full frames can be very hip but this must be the look you are going for. Our full frame readers are created by John Varvatos a leader in designer reading glasses. These come in full selection of powers including 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50. These are available in the current hip style of full tortoise shell, tortoise shell with crystal yell and tortoise shell with black. These also come in modern photochromic lenses that change darkness from inside to out so you can wear them anywhere at anytime.

Rimless Reading Glasses

Rimless reading glasses can be made with less than half the material that allows us to create extremely lightweight reading glasses. This style of readers makes up the majority of our designs at Visualtes. All of our rimless reading glasses provide the magnification you need, while leaving your line of vision unobstructed by frames. This is a very popular feature with many of our clientele.
