      How do I get a prescription for reading glasses?

      Greetings, our fearless readers! Before you run towards the aisles of your local drugstore (heaven forbid), allow us to bring you up to speed. If you’ve recently visited the eye doctor, gold star for you, and they likely still have your strength and/or prescription on file. If you’re in need of a plan B to find your reader strength, our handy dandy Reader Strength Test will get you started. You can upload your prescription during checkout or submit it via email at rx@eyebobs.com. Easy peasy, right? Lay your eyeballs on our FAQ page if you’re in need of some extra clarity.

      Will vision insurance cover prescription reading glasses?

      Your vision insurance plan may partially or completely cover your new eye candy. Make sure to check with your insurance provider for eligibility for an out-of-network provider. While eyebobs does not bill insurance companies directly, we would be happy to send you an itemized receipt after purchase that you can forward to your provider for reimbursement. Just pop into the chat box on our website, contact us at omfg@eyebobs.com, or give us a call at 1-866-393-2627.

      Can I customize the frame color and design for prescription readers?

      Are you sitting down? Okay, here goes: any one of our frames can be outfitted with reader lenses. Yep, you heard that right – we’re in the business of giving you every opportunity to find frames as distinct as you are, so we’ve got reader options as far as the eye can see. Feast your eyes on our plethora of colors, patterns, and shapes. If you can envision it, we’ve probably got it. Heads up for those in need of a prescription in their reading glasses as well as their reader strength: some of our half-rim readers and narrow-sized readers are not deep enough to fit a multi-focal lens, but there are still hundreds of options for finding a progressive reader, too! Go ahead, blame us for your newfound glasses shopping addiction – we can handle it.

      Are there any limitations or restrictions on wearing prescription reading glasses, such as while driving?

      We operate more in the realm of limitless potential, but we’ll admit there are some rules you shouldn’t flout. We’d highly encourage you to continue obeying stop signs and avoiding bar fights, and to make sure you’re used to your progressive or bifocal readers before operating multi-ton vehicles. While prescription reading glasses will help you when you’re glancing between the road and the speedometer, they also require you to frequently adjust your line of sight. If moving your eyes in that way is new to you, you’ll likely require some time to recalibrate. You wouldn’t drive a 1962 Ferrari without knowing how to use a stick shift, now would you?

      How do I choose the best frame style for prescription readers?

      Consider the holy trinity of flawlessly-fitting frames: face shape, head size, and personal taste. As a general rule, those with more angular features will be best suited to round, organic shapes, while rounder-faced folks will look their best in frames with sharper angles. Size-wise, our prescription readers run the gamut of head sizes, so whether you have a narrow, average, or wide-sized noggin, we’ve got well-fitting frames aplenty. And when it comes to personal taste, well, that comes down to your own je ne sais quoi. Mosey on over to our Fit Guide for more in-depth info.
      How do I clean and care for my prescription reading glasses?
      Giving your prescription 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.

      How do I know if I need prescription reading glasses?

      Allow us to act as your guides on your journey to crystal clear vision. It’s fairly easy to tell if you need prescription reading glasses. Admitting it to yourself may be harder, but we’re here to help ease the transition with some eye candy that’ll make you want to brag about your presbyopia. When it comes to specific strengths, if you’re freshly far-sighted and the wine list is starting to look a little blurry (prior to your second glass), you should start with lower strengths like +1.00 reading glasses. If Reader’s Digest looks more like a Rorschach inkblot test, you probably are closer to +3.00 or +3.50 readers. 
      If you need both up-close and far-out vision correction, you may want to avoid the on-again-off-again game by purchasing a pair of progressive readers. Consider our progressive reading glasses 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. Look at you with your all-seeing eyes.

      Can I use my regular prescription eyeglasses for reading?

      Trying to get the most bang for your buck, are we? We’d expect nothing less. The good news is that if you wear single-vision or progressive prescription glasses and do not need any additional close-up vision correction, you most certainly can use your prescription glasses for reading.  The other good news is that if you still need close-up reading help despite your prescription glasses, you get to purchase an awe-inspiring pair of readers. You can wear your new reading glasses with your contacts or purchase progressive readers to correct your near vision. Do you read us now?
