Yes, and no. The main difference lies in frame styles and sizes, which are often tailored to suit different face shapes and personal preferences. However, while certain styles may be marketed towards specific genders, everyone's eyeballs deserve the utmost care, attention, and wait for it, reading glasses that wow the world. The primary factor in choosing reading glasses should be your own personal comfort, visual needs and style rather than strict adherence to gender norms. 

Certainly! Women can absolutely wear men's reading glasses if the fit and style tickle their fancy. Labels should not restrict one's choice in eyewear. The world of reading glasses transcends gender boundaries. It's all about personal preference and finding the perfect fit. If you happen to find a pair of frames not marketed towards you that you love, wear them with confidence. Trust us, no one will know the difference.

Generally speaking, the male noggin tends to be wider than a female noggin. Many makers of reading glasses conveniently (and wisely) make their frames in different widths to accommodate these anatomical disparities. eyebob’s has a Size and Measurement Guide that features a range of options to cater to diverse head widths. With three standard sizes N (Narrow, less than 130mm wide), A (Average, 130mm to 139 mm wide), W (Wide, more than 140 mm wide), so finding the ideal width that harmonizes with your unique cranial dimensions is easy-peasy. 

There are several prevailing eyeglass trends that are wildly popular among discerning eyewear enthusiasts. At one end of the spectrum, transparent (or clear) glasses are the epitome of minimalist chic. They make a sophisticated fashion statement and are a versatile accessory that effortlessly complements any outfit. On the other end, geometric shapes featuring thick-rimmed frames in vibrant hues are making big waves. Eye catching and evocative, these, dare I say, splashy specs embody a fearless and daring sense of style. 

Men’s readers that fit well should gently hug the sides of your face, without squeezing your temples too much. The arms should embrace your ears, and offer support without causing discomfort. And, they should have a comfortable fit on your nose without sliding down or feeling too tight. It's important to find a good balance where your eyewear stays in place without causing any discomfort or pressure points. Find the perfect fit for you with our eyeglass fit guide.

It's essential to find a pair of readers that fit properly to ensure both comfort and functionality. If the frames extend significantly beyond the sides of your face or extend past your temples, it could be an indication that they are oversized. If the glasses constantly slide down your nose, requiring frequent (and annoying) readjustments, it suggests that the fit is not ideal. Luckily, we list all of our frame measurements online so you can stay width it and ensure you find the best-fitting frame. Oh, and did we mention we have a 90-day return window, in case you buy something that is off in fit? Cheers to that!
