Boring eyewear is a drag. Thankfully, Board Stiff’s quirky, round shape and eccentric colors turn the concept of being “board” into downright enthusiasm. Still not convinced? It’s one of our best sellers for five years running. "Impressive" is the word you’re looking for.
*Our patterned frames are uniquely made every time they’re ordered, so the stripes, tortoise, or other patterns you see won't exactly match what's on our site. They’re one of a kind, just like you!
For metal-loving eyewear enthusiasts, take a peek at Board Stiff's metal equivalent, Hard Wear. We think you'll like what you see.
Tortoise and stripe acetates vary in coloration frame to frame due to the unique creation process of the acetate. Color may vary from images on site.
Here are the three standard sizes we offer at eyebobs. You will see there are distinct icons associated with each size. Each size is associated with the width of the frame itself.
N
Narrow
less than 130mm wide
A
Average
131mm to 139mm wide
W
Wide
more than 140mm wide
Frame width is the primary way we determine fit. It’s the horizontal diameter of the entire frame width.
*Note that you won’t find this number on your glasses.

Reviews
Bought another pair!
"I was so impressed with my eye bobs that I ordered another pair that arrives today! Although I bought 2. 75 magnification readers, I use them to watch my tv 15 feet away. I can read finer print on the tv as well as my iPhone and other reading materials. Love the design!"
— Robert F. (5/5)
Prescription quality frames and lenses
"I’m a retired Ophthalmologist, and have worn Eyebobs myself for many years, and, when I was still in practice, recommended them to my patients. The Board Stiff model suits me well, and the pair I recently purchased is the same high quality as those I received when they were first introduced. Other styles I have seen are equally impressive. Well made, sturdy, great spring hinges, and high quality optics. Highly recommended, then and now."
— Richard C. (5/5)
My new pair of glasses and customer service
"I love my new frames and lenses. They are light weight and the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. And, I want to thank Emily, the wonderful young woman who helped me choose my frames and worked through the sale so effortlessly. She was so helpful and so delightful to work with. When I returned 10 days later to pick them up, she knew exactly who I was, called me by name and took care of making sure they fit perfectly before I left. Because of the whole experience, I have recommended Eyebobs to all my friends and family. Thank you again and I thank Emily again for the great service. Jon Hampton"

Wonderful!
"Ordered this pair in sunglasses with progressive lenses. They look so cute and are comfortable! They ride on my face so comfortably I wear them every time I go out in the sun! Can highly recommend these frames and the perfect prescription."
— Pamela A. (5/5)
Eye Candy
"These glasses instantly became my favorite pair. The shape is so fun and flattering, and the color adds the perfect pop of personality. The moment I put them on, I felt a little sassier and a lot more stylish. They’re funky in the best way and make getting dressed every day a little more exciting. Who knew a pair of glasses could have this much attitude?"
— valerie k. (5/5)
Satisfied
"I appreciate that Eyebobs had several narrow frames available, and I appreciate being able to examine them at home rather than in an eyeglass store. One word of caution, however, because of the complexity of my prescription, I had the lenses prepared by my local optician. Much to my surprise, when I picked up the finished glasses, they wouldn't adjust the frames. They should have made this policy clear to me from the start. Fortunately, one of Eyebobs partner stores was willing to make the adjustment. I was astonished, however, to see how much frames of a similar quality cost at this store."
— Janis (5/5)
flattering color and style
"This is my second pair of frames in this style, and I love them. Plus, because I have narrow temples, they do not fall off my head when I bend my neck to look down!"
— Carol S. (5/5)
bummed!
"I've worn the Board Stiff readers for years, but I just got new ones and the sides are thicker, way heavier and won't stay up! You changed the design? I'm sad."
— jamgirl (4/5)
Always High Quality
"Always fit properly Love the spring hinge Great selection"
— Richard L. (5/5)
Board stiff frame change
"These are probably the fifth pair of the crystal blue and I've just noticed that the sides have gotten bulkier with a much larger silver insert. not as good looking. I take all my frames and convert to prescriptions with gradient lenses. That means I ware them every day. I have noticed that the crystal blue fads after a year. I usually get positive comments at least three times a month about the color. I just also wish they would come in a little larger sizes"
