Reading Sunglasses
by Courtney Dryer, OD, October 18, 2024
Reading sunglasses combine practicality with style and are a great option for those requiring vision correction for near-vision tasks outdoors in the sun. They are a convenient all-in-one solution and eliminate the need to switch between regular glasses and sunglasses when transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments.
Your customized reading sunglasses will have a built-in reading prescription in the lower portion of the lenses to allow comfortable reading or phone viewing while enjoying the outdoors. Reading sunglasses provide the convenience of clear vision without compromising on sun protection. Reading sunglasses can be ordered with any style frame and have many lens options. They seamlessly merge functionality and fashion for enhanced visual clarity.

Reading Prescription Sunglasses Frames
Eyeglass frames for reading prescription sunglasses are available in various materials, including lightweight and durable options such as acetate, metal alloys, or titanium. The material weight can enhance the wearer’s comfort and increase durability and longevity. Adjustable nose pads and spring hinges are common features that enhance these frames' overall fit and comfort. Sunglass frames are available in many shapes and colors for different face shapes and sizes.
The frames for reading sunglasses must be designed and fit to provide the optimal placement of the reading prescription within the lower portion of the lenses. This strategic position allows individuals to comfortably read or perform close-up tasks without compromising their ability to see clearly in the distance. Glasses wearers can view near and distant objects using the same pair, enhancing the wearer’s experience.
When ordering your reading sunglasses, you need to select a lens type. If you desire to be able to read and see distance with the same pair of sunglasses, you will need to select bifocal, no-line bifocals, or progressive lenses. These lens options eliminate the need for multiple pairs, providing a convenient and innovative technology for use in the sun. Single-vision lenses will allow you to read, but the distance will be blurry when you look up. Single-vision lenses for near only are not ideal for sunglasses. Bifocal lenses incorporate two prescriptions into a single lens, and the top portion is for distance vision and the lower segment for reading.
Progressive, also called multifocal lenses, are preferred by most for their reading sunglasses. The upper portion of a pair of progressive prescription sunglasses corrects one’s distance vision, the middle is used for intermediate tasks, and the lower part is for near vision correction. Unlike a traditional bifocal or trifocal lens, progressive lenses eliminate the noticeable segmented lines that separate the areas of different prescription strengths. The absence of a visible line enhances the aesthetic and provides the wearer with a more natural and comfortable visual experience. More information can be found on our website about progressive/multifocal sunglasses.
High-Quality Lenses
High-quality reading lenses are available for your prescription sunglasses. Depending on your eyeglass prescription, your sunglasses can be ordered with single-vision, lined-bifocal, or progressive lenses. If your distance prescription requires thinner, lighter lenses, ordering high-index lenses with your frame selection is recommended. Trivex lenses are lightweight, shatter-proof, and available for low to moderate prescriptions.
Your reading sunglasses can be ordered with tinted, mirror, or polarized lenses. Tinted lenses are available in many colors and will change the color of the environment to match the lens tint. Polarized lenses are a great feature for outdoor enthusiasts. They reduce glare from surfaces like water and roads, improving visual comfort and safety.
They improve color and contrast and are preferred by skiers, boaters, and golfers. Mirrored lenses are available in many colors and will reflect the world in the lenses.
We guarantee your multifocal sunglasses will be easy to clean, UV-protectant, scratch-resistant, and with a premium anti-glare to reduce glare and reflections.
No matter your prescription, high-quality reading lenses are available for your sunglasses. Order reading lenses for your sunglasses today!
