What are the advantages of wearing oversized reading glasses?

What’s the big deal about oversized frames, anyway? We’re so glad you asked. Oversized reading glasses are some of the most versatile frames around, perfect for those who need a frame that will look right at home in the boardroom or at the beach. They add a bold touch to a tasteful pantsuit and a bit of class to your sick-day sweats. Besides being oodles of fun, they also happen to offer an abundance of function. A king-sized frame equals more lens space, meaning a wider field of vision for you to peer through. It’s true: oversized reading glasses will help you see (and do) it all. 

Can I find oversized reading glasses in different frame styles?

But of course, dear reader. Our numero uno priority is making sure our frames are as singular as you are, so it goes without saying that we offer frames that suit a breadth of head sizes, face shapes, and tastes. From classically bold squares to bright, outlandish geometric shapes, you’re sure to find a pair of oversized reading glasses that encourages you to think big. We even have a collection of oversize frames just waiting for you to peruse. Take a look – you can’t miss them.

What colors and styles are popular for oversized readers?

Go big or go home, right? Bright, bold colors are all the rage right now, which will come as welcome news to those who jump at the chance to temporarily blind onlookers with their sheer fabulosity. Try Kvetcher in green crystal for a more laid back look, or go full-throttle with Chutzpah’d (size wide) in purple, pink, and gold mosaic. If an oversized frame is about as much flair as you can handle, no big deal: classic black or tortoise reading glasses are always in style. Case Closed (size wide) in black or Biff (size wide) in tortoise might strike your fancy, and Guy Normis in black and grey offers a seriously unserious take on tortoise.

Can I get oversized reading glasses with prescription lenses?

If you need both up-close and far-out vision correction, you’ve found yourself in precisely the right place. Consider our progressive readers your all-powerful fairy godmothers: they host your reader magnification on the bottom and your distance prescription up top. The different focus areas blend into each other, making the change – you guessed it – progressive. You’ll be able to wear them all day, every day, and thank goodness for that. In an oversized frame that already widens your field of vision, these lenses will have you seeing all sides of … well, everything.

Are oversized reading glasses fashionable these days?

Allow us to consult our magic eight ball of fashion trends … it is certain. While teensy, grandma-chic readers had their moment recently, oversized readers are the next big thing (literally). For those who enjoy living large and prefer their glasses to double as conversation starters, this is big news. From ‘70s style chunky aviators to ultra-modern stark black squares to fanficul geometric shapes, this trend is highly adaptable. No matter your personal style, you’re sure to find the perfect womens and men's oversized readers. 

Are oversized reading glasses suitable for all vision impairments? (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism)

That would be a resounding “YES.” Our reading glasses are highly versatile, just like you, and can be adapted to address your individual vision concerns. For farsighted folks, our traditional reader lenses will clear things up for you. If you have astigmatism, which affects both near and far vision, our bifocal or progressive lenses are waiting with open arms. They’re able to correct both up-close and distance vision, so you can easily alternate between things like reading and driving (although not at the same time, we hope). 

How do I clean and care for my oversized reading glasses?

Giving your oversized readers a little TLC from time to time is the best way to thank them for all they do. 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.
