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.

My New Favorite Frames!
"I bought several frames from many different sites, trying to find just the right pair for my face shape. These Waylaid in blue are my absolute favorite out of all my purchases. The frames are high quality and I love the color. The lenses have no distortion, which I can't say for some other expensive brands I tried. I couldn't be happier. I'm already eyeing these frames in another color (no pun intended 😀)!"

Good look. Great lens
"These in 1. 75 as readers work great for computer work. It was the right focal length for me."
— Craig T. (5/5)
Not the color I was looking for
"I love the glasses, but I was trying to order my second pair of the frosty white green and you no longer carry that color apparently? So, I ordered these and they’re fine but they certainly don’t match the ones I had previously a little disappointing, but all good thank you"
— scott n. (2/5)
Nice!
"Very nice simple glasses. Fit well and great quality."
— Karen S. (5/5)
Perfect prescription glasses
"I spent a fortune on similar glasses (Rx, sunglasses) w a company I found on a resort vacation. They were terrible, fit wrong, the Rx was wrong so had to send back, too dark. Ordered same online through Eyebobs at a fraction of the cost and they are absolutely perfect! Getting my husband’s here this time too."
— Mary R. (5/5)
Great style. Light frame.
"Excellent glasses. Very comfortable. Probably my 20th pair from Eyebobs. I’m a walking advertising board."
— Colleen P. (5/5)
Love these
"I love my new reader sunglasses! They are cute, feel well made and fit comfortably."

Our Story.
Drugstores were full of cheap readers and optical retailers carried expensive designer frames, but there were no options in the gulf between. Enter eyebobs.
Our Difference.
We painstakingly select the very best materials, like luxury acetate, comfortable spring hinges, and best-in-class, optical quality lenses.
Our Promise.
We won’t take “meh” for an answer. If your life hasn’t been changed by one of our frames, our job has yet to be done.
