I remember going to the eye doctor at age 39. I've been wearing contact lenses to correct my vision for almost 20 years now. But, at that visit, the young doctor said to me, "You're approaching the age where you may begin to need reading glasses." I guffawed at her audacity! I wasn't even 40 yet and she was treating me like an old lady! However, she was right (or she jinxed me), and I was ready for them by my next annual exam.
At first, I was disappointed. To me, wearing reading glasses made me feel old. I was only 40. I felt young. But then I realized that reading glasses are now trendy and fashionable. So I jumped on the bandwagon and am so happy I did. Gone is the straining to see text on my phone and gone are the dull headaches I would experience after trying to read small print.
Reading glasses can be found at many different retailers, from high-end boutiques to drugstores. In the past, reading glasses were boring or gaudy, but now it is easy to find a pair that is flattering and fashionable.
Recently, I stopped in at the Loft to look for clothes, when I noticed they had a rack of sunglasses, as well as reading glasses. Cute reading glasses. Stylish reading glasses. Tortoiseshell reading glasses (my favorite!). Other pretty reading glasses. And at affordable prices. I picked up a pair of the Cateye Reading Glasses in the color Pink Fizz in the strength I need and feel pretty and confident in them every day.
Many other designers and fashion retailers carry reading glasses, such as Anthropologie, Kate Spade New York, and Tiffany and Company. Scroll through to find the perfect pair for you!

I don't need glasses yet but I'm slowly approaching the age where I might need them so I'll have to keep this in mind. I like the look of glasses, though, so I'm not too worried but I love that there are so many fashionable options!
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky that there are so many options!
DeleteWhile I don't have to wear reading glasses (yet), I think they are SO FUN!! You can buy multiple, fun/funky styles and change it up every day.
ReplyDeleteThat's so true!
DeleteI'm not quite at the point where I need reading glasses just yet, but I suspect I'll be heading back to this post several years down the road! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least it's not something to be dreaded anymore :)
DeleteI love the shape and overall style of those!
