Reading glasses become necessary for most men and women as you age. Reading glasses come in many forms, and most people that need them start with the drugstore variety. These are single vision, single purpose reading glasses, about $20, that don't require a visit to a doctor, and usually do not include blue light protection. If you feel as if your vision isn't perfect, but you're not ready to make a full transition toward a prescription set, reading glasses are typically the first step. Oftentimes people will feel strained while reading, and while you might not struggle with your vision at any other point in time - it could be a sign that you need glasses.
Here at Eyeglasses.com, we only sell high quality lenses and do not sell cheap reading glasses because they provide poor vision and they don't last. Everyone has a different "perfect" vision correction and having the wrong lens type can be potentially harmful to your eyes. Buying any pair from the store isn't going to do your vision any good. With better quality lenses you get superior scratch resistance and blue light protection. We offer readers with a lens type for any need or circumstance.
We specialize in prescription reading glasses for men and women because they provide exactly what you need for requirement. The best seller frames can made with prescription reading lenses made for your eyes, and your eyes only; which not only prevents further damage to your vision but gives you the clearest possible vision a lens can offer.
Sometimes simple reading glasses aren't always the best option, as aside from reading - distance vision is also impaired. It would be impractical to have to carry around multiple pairs of glasses with you at all times, especially when they're prescription. This is where Bifocal lenses come in handy. A section of your glasses may be designed for near-distance or reading, while the rest of the lens will be for long distances. We offer a selection of best seller bifocal lenses.
Progressive reading glasses offer three different distance correction areas within one lens, giving the user a broader range of vision when wearing. Unlike Bifocal lenses, progressive lenses don't display a clear change of focus, and will typically be split up from top to bottom - the top being the longest distance, while the bottom would be for close-range, and reading. These require a prescription, and you can't get them from a drugstore or Foster Grant, because Foster Grant only sells off-the-shelf low quality glasses.
Computer reading lenses are a more unique type of glasses style. The lenses are there to reduce the amount of blue light damage to your eyes. Spending long hours in front of computer screens can be harmful to the eye, and even more when using any kind of magnification. These computer lenses aim to reduce harm to your vision by reducing blue light, as well as reduce glare and reflections on the glasses themselves. Recently, these readers have become a best seller, even though this protection has not been endorsed by the medical community. Check our blog post for more information.
Reading glasses can come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, for men and women. You'll find the right ones for you, whether you're looking for added comfort, blue light protection, lightweight frames, or even just options at a low price. There are frames and lenses for people of all needs.
Just like all things fashion, there are always individuals with an eye for style. Your glasses aren't an exception to your fashion, so why not pick yourself up some designer reading glasses for yourself? You pick the styles with the perfect frame color and lens material, we'll make sure the prescription quality magnification is right for you. You can shop any designer eyeglasses collection, find the perfect frame, and customize it to make high quality readers. Very few designer collections include stock reading lenses.
It's generally better to avoid purchasing cheap low price reading glasses in a guessed lens power. Everyone has different needs when it comes to their reading vision, and trying to use a pair that weren't made for you can cause unnecessary eye strain.

Just as the name suggests, folding reading glasses are designed to fold up - making them much easier to carry around with you when you're not wearing them. Due to their ability for the eyeglass frame to fold in half, this may make them harder to break. Folding reading glasses have always been a best seller, because women can easily fit them into a handbag.
Half Eye readers are different from half-frame readers. Half eye reading glasses does not have a rim over the top of each lens, making it much easier to look over and none of your field of vision is obscured. Some find that regular computer glass frames tend to block your vision a bit too much, and that intrusion on your vision can make glasses frustrating to wear. There's a solution to this, however, and half-eye glasses can help to restore some of those blind spots. Also known as semi-rimless glasses, the frame of the glasses does not completely surround the lens.
Half-eye screen readers are always a best seller, because you can easily see over the top of the lenses for distance vision. If you're only looking for glasses that help you to read, then half-eye reading glasses may be a great choice for you. Some may find them difficult to style, but their main purpose is to be worn for reading only - while making it easy to look over them. Quite unique compared to other style frames you might see, but a best seller choice nonetheless!
Similar to half-frame styles, the rimless collection offers a much greater field-of-view with a far less intrusive frame. Only the major parts of the glasses have frames, and the rest is left open, giving you a much clearer view when wearing them. This is also a perennial best seller, and we offer a huge collection of rimless glasses designs which you can customize int reading glasses.
Not in fashion today as they used to be, the monocle style is still a perfectly fine way of correcting your vision! It could be considered as more of a statement than a functional accessory, but you can pick up your own monocle to aid your vision at any time! And you won't find these at Foster Grant!
If you're looking for something special and unique, Pince Nez might be more to your liking. Although it is not a best seller, this particular style doesn't offer a frame and simply sits on your nose. Pince Nez have been used for over 1000 years in a variety of very unique styles. While it's not a common fashion item these days, you would likely have seen it worn by famous figures such as Former President Roosevelt.
Lorgnettes are also a vintage style of reading glasses, which basically looks like a monocle or a frame front on a stick. You will hold the stick in your hand and position the lens or lenses in front of your eyes. We only carry lorgnettes which are vintage, lightly used, high quality antiques.
Reading sunglasses are very useful to block bright light, but are often difficult for customers to justify as having prescription quality magnification in glasses that you can only wear during some times of the year might not be cost-effective. With that said, it's important that if you're going to use reading sunglasses - you make sure they're prescription.
Another term for "bifocal readers", this style has multiple different correction types in one lens, however, there's no clear separation between them. If you like the idea of the bifocal lens type, but you're put off by the line - these are a great alternative!
When choosing the strength of your glasses, you can't really afford to take risks - no matter what it is you're looking to achieve with them. Even if they're just for blue light protection - you need a lens type that's made for your vision capabilities.
If you're going to determine what kind of vision you have and the strength of the glasses that are best for you, you need to have an eye test done. An optometrist can help you to decide on the best strength, and you can pick the frames yourself.
Using the wrong strength will come with a number of downsides, as the correction you're using will either be too strong or too weak for what you need. If you're going to avoid headaches, avoid picking up any old reading glasses and have your eyes tested.
Even if you feel your vision has been fine until now - you may be experiencing Presbyopia. It's a completely normal part of aging, in which an individual loses their ability to see details and objects up close. Presbyopia most commonly affects individuals over the age of 40. If you feel like you've suddenly lost some of your visual capabilities, it might be time for you to book an appointment with your eye doctor.
Many men and women feel as if booking an appointment with an optometrist and having their eyes tested is a lot of hassle, and it can be if you're often busy. However, your vision should be one of your top priorities, and a low price drugstore lens isn't going to do your eyes any good.
Cheap low price lens options from drugstores are made for generally everyone, which means you're not going to see the benefits of higher-quality prescription lenses. They're not scratch resistant, they won't protect you from blue light, and they're not going to fully correct your vision.
The only upside to drugstore reading glasses is that they're very low price and low quality compared to prescription alternatives - but that's not enough of a benefit to choosing those over prescription quality magnification with superior scratch resistance.
Whether or not your reading glasses are bad for your eyes depends entirely on the lens type and if they were made for you. There are many variations of lens and frame, and the only time they can be an issue is how they're used and what they're made from.
If you've tried to cut costs by buying the cheapest price glasses you could find - then your reading glasses are likely bad for your eyes. The lens type wasn't made to correct your vision, and you may be left more vulnerable to blue light.
It's also worth noting that you should avoid wearing them as a fashion accessory. If your vision doesn't need correction, but you wear cheap low price magnification glasses regardless, you could risk harming your eyes. Overall, it's better to avoid shopping for products that haven't been dedicated to your own needs.
So what exactly are stock reading glasses? Well, we know that they're not necessarily great for your eyes, but what are they, and why are they such a bad option? You would likely have seen them around in various different stores - they're stacked up on those rotating racks and come in many different styles for men and women. Whether you need reading vision correction or are looking to try out new styles, they might be a tempting purchase.
You could argue that it's a great way to try out different styles, because you don't have to order a custom set to match your own lens type, and there are a lot of different options to try out. Overall, picking up a low price cheap pair off the rack when shopping is all too easy.
Of course, the better solution to all of this would be to make sure you get a pair that are right for you. You don't know what power or lens type you would need until you've been to an optometrist, and you'll likely discover some of the problems below:
As low price and tempting as they may be, everything about them is low quality. They're made to fit as many people as possible, which brings about a number of issues. Primarily, they can cause issues for your eyes and cause headaches or nausea.
The frames aren't going to fit your face properly, which will seriously affect your comfort while wearing them.
Despite them being labeled as reading glasses, they may not actually provide any form of help to you while reading and may make reading even more of a strain to focus on the smaller text.
The low price low quality plastic could be a lot more fragile than a luxury pair, and they'll likely be a lot less scratch resistant than a custom set.
If it's time to get your own reading pair, it's better to make sure you get a custom set that is made just for you. There are many brands to choose from once you learn what kind of lens you need to buy. You can browse through all of the different style frames until you find ones that are lightweight and comfortable enough for you.
The look and color are also important, so if you can find brands that match your taste, you can easily put custom lenses in it. That means if you find a low price or stock pair that you like, you're likely going to be able to find a quality, comfortable alternative that suits you better.
While the cost is going to be a lot higher than cheap options, you'll find that the power of the lens and added comfort of reading glasses that have been made for you far outweigh the costs. Reading glasses shouldn't be something you try to save money on.
One of the biggest problems with degrading eyesight in North America is that they go to the drugstore for glasses first, without seeing an eye doctor. Degrading eyesight in close vision is an indicator of a vision problem, vision impairment, and potentially more serious issues like tunnel vision, cognitive disabilities, accessibility issues, vision impaired profile, and/or other eye health issues that should be investigated by an eye doctor. Even blind users should visit and eye doctor.
Many optometrists have all the essential elements, like customer service, prescription glasses, air optix, corrective lenses, exclusive offers, visual impairment testing machines, etc.
