How many times have you started to read something and realized you couldn’t quite make it out so you squinted to see the fine print? With these simple, durable reading glasses, that won’t be a problem any longer. Most people need some sort of eye corrective lens these days to see either near or far. When it comes to reading indoors or outdoors, we have you covered with a look at the best options for reading glasses for both men and women.

Thinnest Reading Glasses

If you are looking to optimize space in your purse or pockets and don’t want to take any up with a big, bulky case, ThinOptics Reading Glasses are just what you’re looking for. You can attach the small pouch to the back of your phone or case and always have them handy. They range in lens strength from -1.00 to -2.50 and the frames are shatterproof. The glasses are as thin as two credit cards and weigh as much as a nickel. The flexible, titanium alloy (nitinol) bridge is 10x more elastic than steel springs and won’t break if you accidentally drop your phone. They do not have arms and can just easily be placed on your nose for quick usage.
