According to the old children's rhyme, "First is the worst, second is the best," and our funky frames inspired by the second in command prove it. These bold, semi-rimless frames will make you look effortlessly cool, calm and collected.
These eccentric half-rim reading glasses come in a small size.
*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!
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
Best glasses, and service!
"I recently realized my, then, current readers (also eyebobs) weren't "working" as well as they used to. The frames still looked great after a few years, but i needed stronger lens. I took myself to the MOA (Mall of America) store, got great help in picking out new frames with an updated strength lens. I've worn them for 3-4 weeks, and as always, I'm happy with my new purchase. I've been sold on eyebobs for a long time, they've never let me down! Terri"

Beautiful stylish and unique frames
"I love these frames. The look is stylish and classic. The size is perfect and the quality is one of the best. I get a lot of compliments about them. I live in Canada and I ordered them from the US, to replace an older pair that I accidentally broke. They were shipped very quickly. I'm very happy with them."

Great fit
"Vice Chair with Crystal Front. . . . like all other Eyebob's product, great fit and finish with a stylish look. I've tried other brands but they pale in comparison."
— Patrick B. (5/5)
great for multitasking
"Understated and easy to wear for crafting while watching TV. A bit less sturdy than I am used to from Eyebobs and I have another style similar but is no longer offered and was a bit more rugged"
— caryn d. (4/5)

1/2 eyebobs
"Elegantly aesthetic readers. Great service. Highly commendable product!"
— Franklin S. (5/5)
Chipped lens.
"The top of the lens chipped after wearing for less than a week. Very disappointing. So far the second pair (blue) has not chipped. Obviously not a glass lens, but plastic. Love the frames. I bought the same frame several years ago and they have never chipped. Replacement would be welcomed. Happy to send a photo."

Reading with Style
"The eyebobs I bought for my husband are very well made and stylish too. The lens are clear and work well as his reading glasses."

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.
