Online source for reading glasses

June 6, 2022 12:57 PM

I'm looking for a good online source for reading glasses in the US. I've googled "best reading glasses" and I'm not getting any answers that strike me as particularly trustworthy, so I'm turning to the hive mind.

I'm looking for decent quality and fun colors. I have an old pair I like where the brand name has partly worn off, so all I looks like "ueyewear". Anyone know what these might be?

I've purchased several pairs of reading glasses from Zenni. They've lasted a long time and I can see fine with them, so I'd say they are decent quality. I haven't looked at their website in a while but they had a variety of colors and styles back when I ordered from them.

Pricier options will be: Eyebobs and Caddis

I think chesty_a_arthur meant Caddis.

I have a couple of pairs from EyeBobs, and they are great! Much higher quality (and $$$$, too) than readers from the grocery store, and really great designs!

I buy these Kerescen Readers by the five pack - by the time I've lost all of them I need to go up a magnifying size so it works out.

I get them on Amazon but they are available other places too.

I've gotten some fabulously funky ones from readers.com.

Yours might have come from icu eyewear.

I just lost another pair this evening when I stopped to get the dog's leach untangled. I get them from eyekeeper, the quality is good.

"ueyewear" is icu eyewear - they have them in my local Whole Foods on a rack, but I've also bought them online.

Echoing Caddis, especially if you like chunky frames.

They also sell icu readers at Target, I say to anyone else wandering into this thread late.
