Can I get clear reading glasses as reader sunglasses?

Prefer to peruse your reading material whilst lounging on your patio? We see you (and so do your neighbors, but perhaps that’s the point). To protect your peepers from pesky UV rays, take a peek at our selection of reader sunglasses, which come fully equipped with your reader strength and 100% UV protection. They’re also scratch-resistant and anti-reflective, so you’ll be seeing clear as day in your clear readers.

Can I have clear frame glasses customized or made to order?

At the risk of stating the obvious, allow us to make something clear: your reader lens and strength of choice can be outfitted into any one of our clear frames. Read that bit again if you think your eyes might be deceiving you – it’s true, we promise. We also have clear frames that fit a range of head sizes, so whether your noggin is narrow, average, or wide, you’re in the clear. Or you will be soon, at least.

Are clear plastic readers in style?

That would be a resounding YES. We’ve seen clear glasses pop up in trend cycles occasionally over the years, but eyewear experts and fashion gurus alike agree that crystalline frames are indeed entering their heyday. It comes as no surprise, considering clear frames go with every outfit imaginable. They’re easy-going yet ethereal, playful yet practical, and will encourage you to keep a clear head no matter how many typo-ridden emails you must slog through whilst wearing them. Oh, and we’d be remiss if we forgot to mention that our clear frames are made from high-quality acetate, not cheap plastic. If that’s not a clear-cut reason to invest in a pair, we’re not sure what is.

Are clear plastic frames flattering?

We’re thrilled you asked, because our clear frames (made from acetate, not plastic – once more for the people in the back) are fiercely flattering on pretty much everyone. They’re neutral enough to match any outfit and allow your features to shine through, but they’re still very much a conversation starter. If you’re someone who prefers to steer clear of eye-watering colors and attention-grabbing patterns, clear frames offer an equally fun but more laidback alternative. Basically, it’s a frame you can wear every day that’s as far from an everyday frame as you can get. 

Are clear frame reading glasses harder to clean and take care of?

Nope! You can clean your clear reading glasses just like you would any other pair. If you’re unclear on the particulars of proper eyewear hygiene, allow us to offer some clarity. We recommend using dedicated eyeglass cleaner, but if you’re in a pinch, a mixture of warm water and a small amount of dish soap will do the trick. Gently wash and rinse your glasses, then dry them with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or your shirtsleeves to wipe them off – it’s tempting, we know, but they can leave scratches on your lenses. Check out our handy-dandy cleaning guide for more tips on keeping your specs in spectacular shape.

Will clear frames help me look younger?

While clear frames may be somewhat intimidating at first glance – you can see right through them, after all – they actually will help to give you a more youthful appearance. The clear acetate softens signs of aging without hiding your features completely. They also exude a fresh-faced aura that will instantly have you feeling more clear-eyed than ever, and have family and friends secretly wondering if you got a facelift. For even more age-reversal eyewear magic, choose a clear frame with upswept angles to draw attention upwards and highlight your killer cheekbones.

Will my clear frame reading glasses eventually begin to yellow over time?

We’ll be transparent with you: while clear reading glasses have garnered a reputation for losing their sheen and turning yellow after a few years, ours will stay free and clear of any such discoloration. What wizardry is this, you might ask? The high-quality, Italian-designed acetate our clear frames are made of, of course. It’s got plenty of benefits beyond just looking better on your face than cheaper materials. If we wanted to wear plastic, we’d buy Jelly shoes.

Why are my clear glasses frames turning green?

Perhaps you accidentally exposed them to gamma radiation, and now they’re Hulk-ing out. Maybe you ate too much asparagus while wearing them. Both these things are more likely than your clear eyebobs turning green from oxidation, which can happen to frames made with cheaper materials. As we’ve mentioned already, though, no one would mistake our Italian-designed acetate for anything less than top-notch. Go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief – there won’t be any creepy green stuff forming on your frames. Looks like you’re in the clear.
