Ultimately, the best women's reading glasses are the ones that provide you with clear vision and a comfortable fit while making you feel as remarkable as you are. Think about comfort, durability, and the appropriate prescription strength for your specific spectacle needs. Also look for well-made glasses to find your favorite pair. We offer Italian-designed acetate frames made with premium materials and optical-grade lenses, by the way. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

To determine the right reader strength, schedule an eye examination with your optometrist. They perform tests to assess your near vision and prescribe the appropriate prescription based on your needs. The optometrist uses a standardized chart with different font sizes to determine what power allows you to comfortably read at a normal distance. If you’re nearsighted, the number will be negative and you’ll sally forth and seek readers that will improve your view of the world, or at least those pesky, minuscule fonts.

By the way, if you’re hoping to get a jumpstart on finding your ideal reader strength, you can take our reader strength test right now. For those of you who already had your readers in your cart, you’re welcome.

The main difference between reading glasses and optical glasses lies in their intended purpose. Reading glasses are specifically designed to correct near vision, making it easier to peruse The New Yorker for typos or perform other close-up visual civic duties. They have a magnifying power that focuses on nearby objects. On the other hand, optical glasses, or prescription glasses, are made to address various vision needs. They provide clear vision at different distances, accommodating both near and far objects. Here at eyebobs, we offer both optical glasses and reading glasses!

Prescription reading glasses are custom-made to match your specific vision needs with pinpoint accuracy. They offer the superpower of precise vision correction, ensuring you can conquer the tiniest text with ease. On the other hand, over-the-counter reading glasses, well, they're like cardboard cutouts – generic and one-size-fits-all. They may provide temporary relief but lack the finesse and accuracy of their prescription counterparts. 

In 2023, women's reading glasses are embracing a delightful fusion of fashion and functionality. Bold, oversized frames are making a stylish statement, with geometric shapes and exaggerated contours that demand attention. Emphasis is placed on unique patterns, vibrant colors, and intricate detailing, adding a touch of personality to your reading ensemble. Transparent frames are also gaining popularity, offering a chic and modern aesthetic. Additionally, cat eye frames are experiencing a revival, exuding an air of retro elegance. Me-ow!

When it comes to frames for women's fashion readers, the options are delightfully diverse, and cater to a multitude of style preferences. Embrace a modern and minimalist vibe with transparent frames offering a contemporary aesthetic that effortlessly complements any outfit. Or add a playful touch with frames that feature eye-catching patterns and fantastical color combinations. From featuring tortoise shell patterns to all the colors of the rainbow, our fabulous frames are a fashion statement in their own right.

The average age for this phenomenon tends to align with the arrival of the fabulous 40s. As the ravages of time progress, the elasticity of the eye's lens undergoes a gradual decline, much like a trampoline losing its bounce. This natural process, known as presbyopia, causes the lens to become less flexible, making it increasingly challenging to focus on close-up objects. We are known for making people actually excited to wear their reading glasses, and helping people feel confident behind their lenses. We design completely unique frames for people of the like. In our eyes, anything else would be a slap in the face, mainly around the eye area.
