Reading Glasses

Rongchy’s reading glasses collection brings together 16 frame styles in strengths from +0.50 to +6.00, so you can match both your reading distance and the way you want to look. Prices start at $8.99.

Whether you need a half-strength pair for menus and phone screens or a +3.50 pair for long reading sessions, every style here is built around the same idea: a light frame you forget you are wearing, and lenses that stay clear from edge to edge.

How to choose your strength

Reading strength is not the same as a prescription. It is a simple magnification value, and most people can find a working pair by trying one step up or one step down.

• +0.50 to +1.00 — occasional reading, menus, labels, phone screens
• +1.25 to +2.00 — books, tablets, everyday close work
• +2.25 to +3.00 — longer sessions, finer print, detailed handwork
• +3.25 and above — very close work, small print, sewing and model making

If two strengths feel similar, take the lower one for screen work and the higher one for paper.

Frame styles in this collection

• Rimless readers — almost invisible on the face, the lightest option here
• Titanium frames — for all-day wear without pressure behind the ears
• Oversize and full-frame readers — a wider field of view and a bolder look
• Retro and round metal frames — thin rims, vintage shapes
• Blue light blocking readers — for people who read on screens most of the day

Materials and comfort

Frames are made from TR90, titanium, stainless steel and acetate. TR90 is flexible and springs back into shape, which makes it a sensible choice if the glasses travel in a bag or get passed around the house. Metal frames hold a fine adjustment better. Spring hinges on several models let the temples open slightly wider, which helps with a wider head or when a pair is shared between two people.

Common questions

Can I use reading glasses at the computer?

Yes, usually one step lower than you would use for a book, because a screen sits further away than a page. If most of your day is screen work, look at the blue light blocking range within this collection.

How do I know my strength without a test?

Hold a book at your normal reading distance. If the words are soft but readable with effort, start one step below your guess. Ordering two neighbouring strengths is common, and the cheaper pair becomes your spare that lives in a bag or by the bed.
